# How to Make an Announcement


# Making an Announcement

To make an announcement to your group, select **Make an Announcement** in the upper right menu of your board (megaphone icon).

This will open a window where you can select a portion of your audience you'd like to make the announcement to. Those options are:

* Guests who are ${color}[#00d065](Attending) or ${color}[#6880b5](Not Sure Yet) 
* Guests who are ${color}[#6880b5](Not Sure Yet) - This is helpful for reminding those who haven't made a decision to change their RSVP to something more definitive 😉
* Guests who ${color}[#9b9b9b](Have Not Responded) - Use this (sparingly) to contact attendees who you have not replied to your invitation yet.

Once you select your audience, you can write your message along with a subject line. Announcements are sent via a styled email that is easy to read and identifiable to your specific event.  

|| Note:  Your guests will not be able to respond directly to this announcement.  If you'd like to open the lines of communications around an announcement, consider making a new **Board post**, which will also notify all guests who are either marked as Attending or Not Sure Yet.
