"… invites me out …/… invites me …"?

I hope he will invite/invites me out to dinner.
I hope he will invite/invites me to dinner.

I dropped the word out in the second statement. I expect that he invites me to his home. Is it OK?

invites me out — You'll go to a restaurant. invites me — You'll go to his home OR to a restaurant. As you see, the second is ambiguous compared to the first.
