The answer

There is no religious impediment to inviting non-mahram women to a wedding celebration, provided they are separated from the men and do not intermingle with them, and provided this does not lead to any objectionable act. However, if inviting them leads to immodest display (tabarruj), seclusion (khalwa), or intermingling (ikhtilat), then it is not permissible.

If they are non-Muslims, there is also no impediment, as long as there is no external factor leading to the occurrence of objectionable acts or violations of Islamic law. It is important to note that non-Muslim women do not adhere to the Islamic dress code, which often means that inviting them will involve something prohibited.
