Matt forgot that he had invited some friends to dinner yesterday. OK

I had invited all the neighbors for my birthday party tomorrow.  There is nothing in your sentence that justifies the use of the past perfect.  The present perfect ('have invited') or past simple ('invited') would be OK.

We had invited a lot of people today There is nothing in your sentence that justifies the use of the past perfect.  The present perfect ('have invited') or past simple ('invited') would be OK.
