Shows only one VEVENT (first) from many in .ics file

Here is the ICS file content:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Test//Test 1.0//EN

CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:Asia/Tokyo

In Thunderbird and Gmail I able to see only first (by order) event. Is this normal behaviour for mail clients, should I create separate .ics file for each VEVENT then and send it with single mail? Thanks in advance for help!

Separate them. I don't know a calendar app that allows one to 'invite' someone to multiple events at the same time. One can of course send a multi event file and ask the user to import it (but for multi events sometimes subscribe is better). If one sends an ics file generated by google calendar, it does the same thing (along with option to download ics file), so nothing to do with your file.

If the need is to have a person see multiple events at a time, a better approach would be to offer them a personal subscribeable ics url. That way they see it separately in their calendar app and it will update/refresh when there are changes.
