Installing the Invite All Friends on Facebook Extension
- Open the Invite All Friends on Facebook extension in Google Chrome. You must be signed into Chrome to install the extension.

- Select a few friends. Click on the buttons next to three or four friends' names, and then deselect them.
- Click on ✔️. It's the logo for the extension and appears on the right side of the search bar at the top of the Chrome window.
- The extension will select all of the friends (up to 500) on your list.
- Facebook currently limits the number of invites per event to 500 to prevent spamming.
- Click on Send Invites. It's in the lower right corner of the dialog box. This sends the invitations to your friends.
Tips
- In the future, you can duplicate the event you just created, and simply edit the details, to avoid selecting all your friends individually.
Warnings
- This method only works on Facebook for Web, using the Chrome browser.
- Avoid using codes or extensions that claim to be able to select all friends. All codes have been fixed by Facebook so that they don't work anymore, and extensions often come with malware.
