Can you make a facebook event and invite people you are not friends with?

[wewouldntbecaughtdeadinchicago]

I am having a join birthday party with my friend and we want to put the party on facebook as an event, but some people invited are facebook friends with only one of us.

I was going to make the group under my name, however some people on the guest list are not mutual friends and you cannot invite strangers to the event.

Is there another way?

Would creating an invitation only group work better?

Thanks

Just make an invitiation only group. Your right , you can't invite strangers, only your friends.
