Hello,
Should invite be followed by to/for?
Eg:-
1) I had invited him for/to the wedding.
2) Please don't invite many people to/for the wedding.
Is one always used over the other?
Thanks,
Prasanna

'To' is usually used instead of 'for', but either is possible.

sorry, but i have read like this before..
Invite to (place/event)
Invite for (activity)
They have invited me FOR a dinner ( just a meal)
They have invited me TO the dinner ( dinner party)
FOR can be used in these sentences ?

Now you have gone beyond the scope of the original question.
Of course, place must be 'to', but that is a different consideration: They've invited me to Chicago. And an activity is a purpose, so you will need 'for': They invited me for chess.
But where there is no clear distinction, as in the original post, either will do:
They've invited me to/for di
