iCal file for Google Calendar with guests getting email reminders

I'd like to set up a script to produce weekly event ICS files that include guests and reminders for them a few days in advance. I created an event in Google Calendar and tried to copy what it produced, but it didn't work. Here's what I tried:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//Urbina//Personal//EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20151011T160000Z
DTEND:20151011T170000Z
DTSTAMP:20151006T172727Z
ORGANIZER;CN=Me Dude:mailto:[email protected]
UID:[email protected]
ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;[email protected];X-NUM-GUESTS=0:mailto:[email protected]
ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;[email protected];X-NUM-GUESTS=0:mailto:[email protected]
LOCATION:Kaos
SUMMARY:event led by two people
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

There may even be a problem with the line breaks, but they won't render properly in the code window--since I clearly don't know what I'm doing here (new-ish guy).

Edit: Oops, right and right.
What I wanted was for the two people to be indicated as guests and for there to be a reminder e-mail sent to them 4 or 5 days before the event. (I would produce the event files for each week, all at the same time, months in advance, and import them so I don't have to manually enter them each week.) The event is created, but the 'guests' don't appear. I am assuming the e-mails won't be sent either in that case.

Before BEGIN:VEVENT you need to have METHOD:REQUEST
