Invite someone to join a Facebook group
There are a few ways new members can be invited to join a Facebook group:
Invite from the group:
Admins and members can invite their Facebook friends to join a group by selecting Invite
from the group.
Invite with email:
Admins can use email to invite anyone to join their group, whether or not they’re Facebook friends.
Invite with link (only available for private hidden groups):
If the group is a private hidden group, admins and members can use a link to invite anyone to join their group, whether or not they’re Facebook friends, if the admins allow
.
Once someone is invited to join a group, they'll be able to preview the group
before deciding if they'd like to join the group, unless they were invited to the group by email or invited to a private hidden group with a link. If someone is previewing the group, they won't be included in the total member count.
Note: If you invite people to a group, a group admin may need to approve the request before they can join. Pages can't be invited to join groups as group members.
Admins and members can only invite a limited number of people to join each day.

Once someone receives the invite to join the group, they’ll then have to request to join and be approved by a group admin. Any Facebook user with the link can see the group’s About info and request to join.
The link will expire after either 48 hours or 20 people click on it, whichever comes first. After the link expires, you can create a new link.
Keep in mind that people who receive the link from you might understand you're a member of this group.
