There is absolutely no excuse for inviting a goy to a bris. I can understand inviting a goy to a chasunah, but a bris? Why do they even have to know about it? There are ways of explaining it metaphorically, but that should be reserved for a yid, frum or frei, not for a goy. It serves no purpose to explain these things to them. Will your friend also invite them over for shabbos and then wonder how to explain why you don’t do melachah? How about invite them for kapparos? Will they also get a kibbud? How about kvattah? I mean, please!!! Let your friend make a separate “celebration” before or after the bris and invite whoever her heart desires, but do not profane the bris shel eliyahu.
