Why do I get invites when I add an event to my calendar??

Running Sonoma 14.0 and iCal 14.0 (2964) on MacBook Pro. Suddenly every time I add an appointment to my iCal, I receive an invitation. I get an alert that says "Invitation From somebody" for the event I just put on my calendar. And then when I am in iCal, it shows up as a new invitation that I need to accept, decline or maybe. I understand how to invite others to an event - I do it all the time, but why am I getting an invitation from myself with every event I put on my calendar? This is super annoying and now I'm worried if I don't accept it, the event may not stay on my calendar or alert me based on my reminders.

I did just discover that it's only Exchange appointments. When I put an event on my calendar using my iCloud account it does not send invitation, but anything and everything via Exchange creates an invitation.
