Since we are talking invitationals and not general quad meets, I think meet efficiency is critical to the success of a meet. If you are inviting teams to come to your meet and asking them to pay, then the host school should be organized so that the events flow without too much hesitation. There should be proper planning on behalf of the host school to make sure all bases are covered. Quality starters, clerks, referees, and finish line workers are critical to smooth meets.
