inviter
One who summons
An inviter is someone who extends an invitation.
The word is straightforward but uncommon—most English speakers prefer the person who invited me or the host to the inviter.
It appears occasionally in legal or formal contexts where precision matters: The inviter bears responsibility for the safety of guests on the premises.
