That means that if you have over 300 invites out there with no response, you can&#8217;t send any more until a few people join, maybe, or decline your event. <\/p>\n<p>Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/help\/202545109787461\/\">explains the rules on its help page<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>You can invite an unlimited number of people to events, but you can only invite 100 people at a time. Once you invite the first 100 people, you can then start inviting more.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you can only have 300 pending invites at one time for an event. Some people will have to respond to your event invite before you&#8217;ll be able to add more.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Remember, Facebook isn&#8217;t capping invites to a single event. You can invite as many people as you want.
