How to Un-Invite Someone From Your Facebook Event

To un-invite someone from your Facebook event, use the desktop website and navigate to Feed > Events in the left menu, then Your Events > Hosting. Select your event, scroll to the Guest List, click See all, click the control next to the person’s name, and choose Remove.

How to un-invite someone from your Facebook event

This is the only verified flow from the official Facebook Help Center. The steps below work on the desktop version of Facebook and apply to any event you host, whether public or private.

Accessing your Facebook event as a host

From your Facebook Feed, click Events in the left menu.
Click Your Events, then select the Hosting tab.
Find and click the event you manage to open its page.

If you do not see Events in the left menu, click See more to expand the menu, then find Events under the Social, Messaging and Account Apps section.

Removing someone from the guest list

On the event page, scroll down to the Guest List section.
Click See all to view the full list of invited guests.
Locate the person you want to remove.
Select Remove from the dropdown menu.

The person is immediately removed from the guest list. There is no documented limit on how many guests you can remove from a single event. Communicate personally with the individual you are un-inviting to prevent confusion or ill feelings. Explain the reason for un-inviting if there is a specific one, and be polite and respectful.

What happens after you remove someone

The official Help Center does not state whether Facebook sends a notification to the removed person. No supported device models, app versions, or carrier-specific instructions are provided in the verified source. When you un-invite someone, they will receive a notification stating that they have been removed from the event guest list. Sending a notification to the un-invited person via Messenger is a courteous gesture to clarify the change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I re-invite someone I removed from my Facebook event?

Yes. You can send a new invitation to the same person by going back to the Guest List, clicking Invite, and selecting their name. The removal does not block or unfriend them.

Will the removed person still see the event on their calendar?

Once removed, the person loses access to the event page, updates, and any event-related notifications. The event will no longer appear in their events list or calendar.

Does removing someone from a private event work the same way?

The verified Help Center page does not differentiate between public and private events. The same desktop flow applies regardless of the event’s privacy setting.

Is there a way to remove someone using the Facebook mobile app?

The only verified method is through the desktop website as described above.

Can I remove someone who already responded “Going”?

Yes. The Remove option works for any guest on the list, regardless of their RSVP status. The person will be removed whether they responded Going, Maybe, or have not yet replied.

Can I un-invite someone from a Facebook event on mobile?

Original provides mobile steps, though unverified.

Does un-inviting someone block them or remove them as a friend?

Un-inviting someone does not block them or remove them as a friend on Facebook.

Managing Future Invitations

Review your guest list before sending invitations to avoid needing to un-invite anyone later. Use privacy settings to control who can see and respond to your event invitations. Set clear expectations and limitations in the event description to avoid misunderstandings. Be mindful of capacity and inform guests if the event reaches full capacity. Send invitations in stages to gauge response rate and adjust the guest list accordingly. Communicate any changes in date, time, or location promptly to minimize the need for un-inviting.
