If someone asks you why they were not invited to your party, you might explain those limitations if they are indeed the case. If you had other reasons for not inviting this particular person, I don't think it is polite to point them out. A simple “I am sorry, but I was limited as to my guest list” should suffice.
If you're tight with the person who left you out, and you feel like you can talk through it without a major fallout, you can say something along the lines of, “I heard you planned a group dinner and I wasn't invited and I felt bad. Did I do anything to upset you?

They often expect to be invited, but since they have no concrete relationship with those around them, they never cross the minds of others when it comes to events and parties.
