Answer 1

I believe that model structure would work.

Here's an example query to get all events with guests with the 'waiting' status:

Events.where('guests.status' => 'waiting')

Here's another example to, given an event, get all that event's guests with 'waiting' status:

event = Events.first # get the desired event
event.guests.where(:status => 'waiting')

Finally, you should name your models singular names (User, Event, Guest). Also, your Guest model has some typos I fixed below:

class User
  include Mongoid::Document

end

class Event
  include Mongoid::Document

  embeds_many :guests
end

class Guest
  include Mongoid::Document

  embedded_in :event
  belongs_to :user

  field :status
end
