Private Invitations

Is it possible to send an invitation to more than one invitee but in the
blind? I recoil at the poor etiquette of revealing email addresses of
persons not otherwise connected except by my invitation. No mention of such
an option can be found in the Entourage 2008 help.

Hi Mark!

I don't know of any calendaring application that supports Bcc of
recipients. I agree that revealing addresses in *E-mail* can be poor
etiquette but when a *meeting* is called then everyone is expected to be
meeting with everyone else. No privacy is expected.

You may be able to script sending one invitation at a time but that's
not practical because you'll have multiple events for the same time on
your own calendar.

Hope this helps!

I'm scheduling events that are attended by persons not associated by a
common workplace or email domain. They're all independent. So while "Joe"
will surely see and talk to "Kathy" at the event, he might not want his
email address to go out to 20 invitees whom he knows only by occasional
association. The spam exposure is easy to imagine.

But possibly there is a way to script this. I appreciate your response,
Bill.

Rather than script it, you can create the event without any attendees,
then just drag that event into a new email that is BCC'd to the recipients.

There, the event will form an ICS attachment that they can double-click
to add the event to their calendar of choice.
