Question: When Max is having dinner with Lucy and her family, why does his reflection show in the mirror if he's really a vampire?
Answer:Max says later that because he was "invited" to come into Lucy's house, then certain identifying vampire traits are nullified and their enemies are rendered powerless. That was why he had a reflection, could eat garlic, which is supposed to repel vampires, and wasn't "burned" by the holy water being thrown on him.
When was it established that the "man of the house" had to invite them in?
It didn't need to be the "man of the house." When Max arrived for dinner, Michael opened the door. Max just referred to him as the man of the house in a leading way so he will be invited in, knowing it would protect him from being exposed as a vampire.

Ya, but Max wasn't invited by the man of the house. That would be the grandfather. Plot error, then?
