 ## Owner Auto-Attendee
 
-When sending invites, `mail@luyx.org` (owner's SimpleLogin alias) is **always added as an attendee automatically**. This ensures the owner receives every invite and can Accept/Decline from their own email client. No need to include it in `--to` — it's added by the script.
+When sending invites, `mail@luyx.org` (owner's SimpleLogin alias) is **always added as an attendee automatically**. All invites include a **1-day reminder** (VALARM) by default. This ensures the owner receives every invite and can Accept/Decline from their own email client. No need to include it in `--to` — it's added by the script.
 
 When accepting or tentatively accepting a received invite, the original invite is **automatically forwarded to `mail@luyx.org`** so the event lands on the owner's calendar too.
