"Maybe Attending" Muppets (Facebook)

In another way though, email is less intimate. On facebook, you can see that you’re part of a select group who received this invite wheras with email, if everybody’s name is BCCed, you don’t know if you’re going to an event for 5 or 50 people.

The OP was about a dinner party. I think you can safely assume it’s not for 50 people.

Who would BCC a private invite like that, anyway? I wouldn’t invite anyone to an event that was unsafe to have the email address of someone else I’d invited.

For five people, I wouldn’t. But if I were having a larger gathering, I’d BCC everyone just to avoid the huge header, even if it were perfectly safe to give everyone access to everyone else’s email.

That’s fair enough. But a gathering that large would be fine for a Facebook group anyway, IMO.
