First, we need to subtract the $80 cleanup fee from the total budget of $3,000: $3,000 - $80 = $<<3000-80=2920>>2,920
Next, we need to divide the remaining budget by the cost per person to find the maximum number of people they can invite: $2,920 / $32/person = <<2920/32=91.25>>91.25 people
Since they cannot invite a fraction of a person, they can invite at most 91 people to the reception.
