iCal will not send if location is added to event

I've noticed in the last 2 weeks or so that people haven't responded (accept, decline or maybe) to my ical invites. I just realized they haven't been getting them. I tried some trouble shooting and found that all of the invites I sent with no location specified sent correctly, but if an event had the location/address added it did not go at all. It's on my calendar, but it shows no one has responded and in fact no one received the invites.

Help! I use this feature all the time and the location is a key component.

Thanks

PS I've created these invites from my iMac, iPad and iPhone.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.1.1

In addition to the location, my invites are not received if I put anything in the Notes field. By removing the notes and resending it to the Invitee it is received. In addition, if I add notes or location after the invite is accepted, the updates are NOT received and only show up in my own calendar entry.

This thread started on December 10th but the OP said he had problems a couple of weeks before that. That is around the time that Apple said that it was going to do something about spam going to iCal:

Apologies if this has been asked before. Is everyone who has this problem running iOS 10.2? Or are there different iOS versions in play?

In my case, I am running 10.2.

How do you submit a bug report to the Calendar Engineering Team? My wife and I seem to have the same issue. We are using iPhone 7 and 7+ with ios 10.2

Just submitted my feedback claim to Apple, as it is still happening and not fixed....😠

Has anyone heard of a resolution for this? Has Apple admitted a bug that needs fixing? This is a very serious issue.

It seemed yesterday for me that clicking on the "accept" link in the email did nothing, but opening the attachment did work. If you get a chance it might be worth trying both approaches.
