For me and mine, a big selling point of FB is the event management piece. Does Mastodon have anything similar?

  Nope. It's more similar to Twitter (chronological timeline), but without promoted messages / "you may have missed" types of features. Event Invitations is one of the few uses of FB that I still have. I'm open to alternatives that simplify facilitate threaded discussions between those who were invited, but as with any system convenience is a factor. Google Calendar does work, yet somehow (and ironically) seems more intrusive than Facebook in that you're communicating directly with emails; the younger the participant, the greater the lack of enthusiasm for emails.

    +1 on this. This is one of the things I also haven't been able to find replacement for outside of FB yet. I guess it might be because it it almost too simple of a problem, to easy so no one makes a solution all can come together on. All an event mostly is is a message thread to which you can pin some information about when and where, right? In that case I would almost say the functionality is probably already there. Just that we have to change how we do things.
