By inviting them to a feast on his daughter’s birthday, Falki doesn’t look like he’s expending a ton of resources to placate another chieftain that his father insulted, and instead it’s just a big celebration that he’s inviting his neighbor to, and Aud can show that there’s no bad blood by coming to honor his daughter.
At least, that’s what I’m assuming.
There’s also, I think, the implication of a betrothal or future betrothal to completely seal the peace.
