he says the party was her idea... she wonders why he didnt invite her friends... so does he invite strangers to be a jerk? the odd thing about that is it fit into her plans as though she had come up with the party herself.
what if he had invited friends? not sure if the plan would have worked the same

About not inviting strangers fitting into his wife's plans. I think that Frederick Loren is keen for the party as being seen as his wife's idea. He reveals at the end (crowing to his dead wife) that he was aware of her evil plans but that she didn't know that he was playing along too. So a bit of a double cross on his part.
shareI always think back to their exchange:
Loren: Friends? Do we HAVE any friends?
Annabel: No, your jealousy took care of that.
So why's she complaining about not having any friends then?
Price was so delicious here, it almost made me cry (happy tears)
He genuinely loved and adored his (cheating) beautiful wife, but was smart enough to realize her 'secret' affair with Dr. Trent (outside of her apparent greediness and murderous intentions) with inheriting his fortune, should he... accidentally die...
The party idea was so deliciously a sarcastic and sardonic game-play with him. He secretly beat Annabelle (and her lover, Dr. Trent) at her own selfish, greedy game. Just goes to show what a tangled, stupid web some are willing to weave...
And the party guests were not directly Strangers. As revealed, following the opening, and their gathering... each of them either worked at one of Frederick's companies, or had worked for him at some point.

Obviously strangers had to be invited for either plan to work because since none of them knew either he or his wife, there'd be no bias when they were talking to the police.
