When people invite you to an event with Google Calendar, you can automatically find the event on your calendar. To let people know if you go to an event, you can RSVP to calendar invitations. You can also add a note or suggest a different time for an event. When your email account receives the invite, Google Calendar adds the event to your primary calendar.

Forward calendar invites
Important: If you forward an invitation, the recipient might be able to see updated meeting details and could change your RSVP response at any time.
If you have permission to add guests to an event, you can forward the invite to new guests by email. When new guests respond to the invite, they’ll be added to the guest list. They’ll also be able to invite others.
If you don’t want guests to be able to invite others, edit your event, tap the guests, and turn off “Guests can add others.”
