My daughter is turning 11, but her BFF doesn't like the other girls that are invited. Any help?

Girls at that age can be into drama. It is also not unusual for them to take the stance "if you are friends with Jane, you can't be friends with me". If this is what is going on with your daughter and her BFF, I'd suggest that you go ahead with the group party as planned, let the chips fall where they may, and if the BFF boycotts the party or causes a scene, your daughter will have learned much about friendship, and how true friends act.
However, I can see that there might be another scenario. If the other girls who are coming are bullies, for instance, and ostracize or tease or are otherwise mean, if they are the ones who will create the drama, I'd say a change of plans is in order. If your daughter invited the others so that she could be part of the "in crowd", than maybe the party should be canceled, and just your daughter and her BFF could do something special.
Or perhaps it is not so much that the BFF doesn't like all other girls, but that there is one who is a bully or mean. Perhaps that is the guest who needs to be uninvited. You should investigate the problem - maybe talk to both girls and find out what the issue is. It could very well be a bullying issue, and the BFF could be the bully or could be the victim. The action you take will be different when you figure it out.
