Why is it masculine?

Invito is masculine because it derives from the Latin "invitum," the accusative form of "invitatus" (past participle of "invitare"). In Latin, this form functioned as a noun meaning "invitation." When Italian inherited this word, it retained the masculine gender. The -o ending in Italian typically marks masculine nouns, a pattern inherited from Latin masculine second-declension nouns.
