What is the rule when inviting the guests of another person?

Question

What is the rule when inviting the guests of another person? My neighbour invites my guests for meals without asking me. Meanwhile I have prepared food for the guests. Should a person invite the host too when his guests are invited?

Answer

It is improper for a person to invite another person's guest without referring to the host. The host may have made some other arrangement. The guest too should refer the person to his/her host. The guest should not accept invitations without the knowledge of the host. It is not necessary to invite the host also. Only the host should be informed.
