Is the word convidados the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?
Yes
The word "convidados" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only differences lie in pronunciation. In Brazil, the vowels tend to be more open and clearly articulated, and the "d" sound is often more dental. In Portugal, the vowels are more closed and often reduced (de-vocalized), making the word sound more "clipped" or swallowed compared to the Brazilian pronunciation.
Brazilian Portuguese Examples

- Não esqueça de dar as boas-vindas aos convidados. (Don't forget to welcome the guests.)
- A lista de convidados está ficando enorme! (The guest list is getting huge!)
