New appointment - how to notify others without using Invite

[sdinme]

When I enter a new appointment into Calendar, I would like to notify
co-workers of this, but the only means of doing this that I know of is to use
the Invite Atendees, which asks them to Accept or Decline, and confuses them
because they can't distinguish from an actual Invite, and a regular "FYI -
just so you know". Is there another way of notifying them without using the
Invite option? Many thanks, Sonia

Create a new mail message and attach the calendar item to it.

Or use the Forward as vCal/iCal command and put an FYI note in the body of the message.
