WP7 and WP8 calendar invites

[Mr. Brown]

Is anyone else annoyed with how clumsy it is to invite people to a calendar event in WP7 and WP8? I wish you could just hit invite attendees and then start typing in an email address or a person's name that exists in your people hub just like you would for an email or a text message. There are times that I want to invite someone to a meeting and they are not in my people hub and I am unable to invite them unless I create a contact for them. Does anyone know a good work around for this?

Thanks!
