Guest guides
Richmond group invitations and private event addresses
Treat a private Richmond event address as information for invited guests, not a general recommendation to forward. Ask the organizer before sharing the invitation outside the intended group.
What you'll learn
- Check the audience before forwarding
- Check who the invitation is meant to reach
- Decisions to resolve before you commit
A private event address belongs to the invitation's audience. Before forwarding, ask whether the organizer welcomes additional interest and which channel prospective guests should use. A link that is technically easy to share is not necessarily a public invitation.
Check the audience before forwarding
Confirm whether the gathering is public, private, or limited to a particular community. A forwarded link can create attendance the organizer has not planned for. When recommending the event, direct interested people to the approved inquiry channel.
Check who the invitation is meant to reach
A host may welcome additional friends but need names and a revised count first. Asking before forwarding preserves that choice and keeps the room plan accurate.
Write: “A friend may be interested. May I send the invitation, or should I direct them to you first?” That preserves the host's ability to manage capacity and privacy. If the event is public, share the official page so people receive current information rather than an old screenshot.
Decisions to resolve before you commit
| Decision | What a usable answer includes |
|---|---|
| Audience | Identify whether the event is public or invitation-only |
| Forwarding | Ask before sending details beyond that audience |
| Inquiry | Use the organizer's approved route for new interest |
Avoid the mistake that creates extra work
Avoid posting a private address in a broad community thread just to recommend the gathering. Ask the organizer how it wants interest handled.
