If you deactivated the option to allow guests to invite friends when you created the event, you can re-enable. Just edit the event and toggle the “Guests Can Invite Friends” switch to the On position. Although it’s possible for you (and other guests) to share your private event on your news feed or in a group, people who haven’t been invited will not be able to click or tap the link to find information about the event.

After creating the new event, send a message to all attendees letting them know why a new event was created. Be sure to share the new public event on your timeline, and encourage other attendees to do the same.
