How many times have you created an event in facebook, only to have to manually click or Control click to select friends to and event invite one at a time? Then do it again once you reached you limit. Pretty tedious and time consuming, right!
If you do any kind of marketing you probably ignored inviting your friends to the the events you’ve created because it took to long.
I created this video with the steps on how to solve this problem.. Below will be the step by step instructions along with the java script code you will need to make this work..Good luck..
1. Create and Event. Whether it is associated with a group or just and event, just create the event..
2. Once completed, you will be asked to invite people to come. Your Invite box will pop up with all your friends to start manually clicking on your friends one at at time.. max of 30 or so..You might be able to do more but i find it blows up on you..
3. Copy the Java Script Below and paste it in the address bar or the browser URL.
javascript:var x=document.getElementsByTagName("input");for(var i=0;i<x.length;i++) {if (x[i].type == 'checkbox') {x[i].checked=true;}}; alert('Done, please scroll and repeat until all your friends have been selected');
4. Left click on the mouse in the URL Field and hit Enter.. Your friends will all be selected..
Click the Invite button on the Facebook page to finally sent the invites.
Thats its, super easy!
To YOUR Massive Success,

Yes MAN! This is the most fantastic trick I learned awhile ago…I’m glad you made a quick-reference video Brandon…
I’ve found that when using Firefox to use Facebook and do this automatic friend invite for everyone at one time that Firefox browser typically stalls for a minute or so. My advice is to wait for about 30-45 seconds and then LIKE MAGIC ALL YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED…no more individually selecting peeps.

Yeah Brilliant…. In theory!! except for one minor problem…. it doesn’t actually work!! If you only have a couple of hundred freinds it works fine but when you have thousands… it doesn’t work. It selects them all but only actually sends invites to the first hundred or so…

There have been some problems with this code since Facebook updated everything..

I greatly appreciate all the info I’ve read here.

another way is to create a Group which contains all your friends. when you get to the event invite page you can “filter friends” by this group and the option “select all” will magically appear. to create the group you do have to manually select all your friends one time only.. and you will also have to add new friends to this group to keep it current. all in all it’s the best way i’ve found that works consistently. cheers.

The problem with that is that if you have a few thousand friends then you are back to where you started which is to click on every single one of them, and like you mentioned you need to keep updating the group. I’ve been using the Google chrome app the most. I use Firefox on a daily basis so when I want to invite all my friends to something I just open up Google chrome and do it that way. Seems to be the easiest way for me.

I have almost 5,000 friends and it works for me.. I use the Google chrome method. It seems to be the fastest and easiest way..

It seems to be working, i did a group for all my friends, only the first 400 got invited, so i would have to do groups of 400
the chrome app got installed , takes a while to actually load, not sure if all friends gets the invitation yet

The link or option 1 does not work, only goes back to the event page…
