inviters
Those who summon
Inviters are people who invite—those who extend invitations or welcome others to participate.
The word appears in contexts where the act of inviting defines a role: The inviters set the tone for the gathering.
Less common than "hosts," inviters emphasizes the initial act of asking rather than the ongoing responsibility of hospitality.
