I don't understand why you'd use FB events for "going on holiday, going for a weekend somewhere." Those things would entail a smaller, tighter knit group with much more communication and planning. Group chat seems like a better fit.

IMO, FB events are really only suitable for things like parties, with an large invite/smaller rsvp dynamic, with mostly broadcast messages from the host.

Oh I meant "bigger group" holidays, ones arranged by a society/class.

Yes groupchat is better when it's less than say, 8 people.

FB events are suitable for lots of things, I woulnd't say it in such a reductionary manner like "only parties".
