Thank you for your answer. It is disappointing because I have been using this email alias for networking with business colleagues, and I did not want to expose my main email address to all. I wish iCal can introduce such capability to select the email an invitation can be accepted. Otherwise, a dead-end for me... I will have to create a new email address for such.

Hello harksyd.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. There isn’t a way to choose an alias for iCloud to send a calendar invite, but you can choose a different email account to send an invite from. Sending calendar invites may not be supported by all email providers, but you can find the steps for sending calendar invites via supported email provider in the following link:

Invite people to events in Calendar on Mac
