Uninviting someone from an event can be an awkward or charged situation no matter what the reason or how you do it. Maybe you invited the guests by accident, or maybe you had a fight with them or they did something rude โ€” but no matter what the reason, the actual act of uninviting them can be a little less awkward if you do it on Facebook.

You have to be the host of the event to uninvite someone, and they won't get any notification that you did so โ€” so if they already accepted and know when and where it is, you're still going to have to tell them they're not welcome. However, they won't be able to see the event page anymore, so if they don't have the info or didn't RSVP yet, you're good to go.

You should also note that this action is final โ€” once you uninvite someone, you can't reinvite them.

So, if you still want to proceed, here's how to uninvite someone from a Facebook event.
