Steps
Open Google Calendar and sign in with your Google account. Click the Create button or click directly on a date and time slot to start a new event.
Give the event a clear title and set the date, start time and end time. Add a location or video meeting link if people need it.
Click Add guests and type each person's email address. Press Enter after each one so it turns into a separate guest.
Choose the guest permissions. Keep Modify event off unless you want guests to edit details, and leave Invite others on if they may add people.
Write a short note in the description with any agenda or preparation details. Set a reminder so guests get a notification before the event.
Click Save and then choose Send when Calendar asks whether to email the guests. Skipping Send means no invitation goes out.
Check the event shows your guests under the guest list. They receive an email with the date, time and a Yes, Maybe or No reply option.
To invite someone later, open the event, click Add guests, add the address and save. Choose Send to email only the new guest.
Tips and common mistakes
If you forget to click Send, the event is saved but no one gets an email, so reopen it and use the send option.
Double-check spelling of each email address, since a typo sends the invite to the wrong person or nowhere.
Guests can reply from their inbox, and their answer updates the guest list in your Calendar.
For large groups, use a Google Group address instead of typing every person one by one.
Questions
Will the invite appear in the guest's Gmail inbox?
Yes. Google Calendar emails an invitation to each address you add, and guests can accept or decline straight from that email.
Can I send an invite without adding guests one by one?
Yes. Add a Google Group or mailing list address as a guest and everyone in it receives the invitation.
Why did my guest not get the invitation?
The most common cause is not clicking Send after saving, or a mistyped address. Check the guest list and resend from the event.
