Pinterest has a variety of useful features to help its users get and share a variety of images and videos. If you recently joined Pinterest, you might have come across the popular group board feature and have yet to learn how it works. A group board, also known as a collaborative bond, is a shared Pinterest board that allows multiple users to pin visual content. There is usually one Pinterest owner who creates and owns the board. The board owner will be in charge of the group, and they are the ones who permit board followers to add pins to their board.
Users who join a group board can also invite other Pinterest users to share visual content on the board they belong to, not unless the board owner bans them from doing so. However, not unless you get an invite, you will not be able to see what groups the people you follow belong to. You will only see pins from their profile and the groups they own. If you started your own Pinterest board and want to invite people to join your group board, follow the steps we’ll provide in this article to learn how to invest someone in your Pinterest board.

Inviting someone to Pinterest is relatively easy. The social network has an option that lets users send invitations to their contacts to let them be part of their board collaborators team.

Did you pin a picture or video and would love to share it with your friends on Pinterest but don’t know how? Here is how to do it:
Sending an invite to multiple people does not guarantee that they will accept the invite. So apart from just sending random invites, follow these tips to persuade invited Pinterest members to join your board and start contributing.
One of the simplest ways to get more people to accept your invite is to ask them if they are interested in becoming board contributors before sending them an invite. Contact them beforehand to let them know you like their pins, and share some information about your Pinterest board before asking if they would like to join your board as guest pinners.
Wait for their response; if they say “yes,” send them the board invite; if they reply “no,” respect their decision and look for someone else to invite. If you don’t have their email, look for another way to contact them. For example, you can send them a direct message on Twitter instead of emailing them.
Friends, colleagues, and close relatives are more likely to accept your board invite than strangers. If you have just created your board and have few or no board contributors, try to convince people close to you with similar hobbies to join your board, so you can gain more board followers before you start thinking of inviting someone to Pinterest. You can also settle for a few dedicated board contributors rather than inviting many people to join your board.
Starting your own board could be a fun and engaging experience. You can set up different topics per board to group relevant images and videos together, which could help you and other Pinterest users find relevant information more easily. Follow the tips we provided in this article if you don’t know how to send a board invite.
