Perché è feminine?

Invitation is feminine in French because it derives from the Latin *invitatio*, which belonged to the first declension (*-atio* words). However, Latin *-atio* words belonged to the third declension (not first), and they were grammatically feminine in Latin. This feminine gender was preserved as French developed from Vulgar Latin. The French suffix *-ation* (derived from Latin *-atio*) consistently produces feminine nouns in French.
