Here's a related-but unique addendum to the Send iCal alarms to other people's email addresses hint. I thought if you could do that, you can do the same thing with your Address Book groups. Sure enough, it works like a charm.

In your Adress Book entry, add a new email entry, give it some relevant name such as "Fellow mac nuts," and then in the email address field, enter the name of an existing group from your Address Book. Now that label and email address will show up in the iCal email alarm drop-down box.

[robg adds: This does indeed work as described. If your group name has spaces in it, you don't even need to do anything special -- just type the name of the group, complete with spaces.]
