ROUND for dinner

[emogen]

Hi guys!

Another sentence to you help me:
"... have people round for dinner."

Is it necessary put "round" in this sentence? Why?
If I wrote without "round", it would not be right?

Thanks a lot again!

"... have people round for dinner."

Is it necessary put "round" in this sentence? No
If I wrote it without "round", it wouldn't it not be right? It would be fine.

Before anybody else mentions it, 'have people for dinner' could suggest that you are a cannibal, but only if you are, like me, someone who indulges in pedantic, somewhat pathetic, humour.
