I fail to understand why one has to invite such a couple for Yom Tov. 
Shabbos comes every week and no says that one may not invite gentiles 
for Shabbos.

I again repeat what I posted on Areivim about Pesach. The seder is, 
IMO, for one's children and grandchildren. Our experience has been 
that one cannot give them the proper attention if one has too many 
guests and/or if one has to devote time explaining things to these 
guests rather than explaining things to the children and 
grandchildren and involving them. After all, the mitzvah on Seder 
night is V'higadeta l'vincha and not to your guests.
