Rather than send an email to the group right away, could you not store up 
messages and send them out with more than one change in? So if person A creates 
an event, and person B and C sign to attend, your system would hold on and post 
all 3 messages in the same email.

Facebook has a similar system to reduce the number of emails it sends. I tell 
you, its appreciated by the recipients too more often than not!

Thanks,
