Yes. But the meaning is slightly "off."

Will we invite them to have dinner with us, if they come here?

Yes, the grammar is correct, but the sentence itself is difficult to interpret, to the point of being nonsense without context. It seems equivalent to "Will we ask them to speak if they speak?"

Hi

I think it's possible to make sense of it if we assume:

- If they visit our town, will we ask them to dinner?

In that case, the grammar and the meaning are OK

You expect them to be gatecrashers, don't you?

Hi

Ah, there I'd think of: will we invite them in if they come here? If we have chosen not to invite them in, but they come in anyway, they are gatecrashers
