Meaning of a sentence

one of my professor asked me to the thanksgiving dinner. In his email, he mentioned you likely should plan to be at our home into the evening, if that also works. What does this mean? It means stay in their home until night or stay overnight?

Thanks

It's hard to know for sure without seeing this phrase in the exact context of the letter, but usually the phrase "into the evening" means very late. I think what your professor is saying is that you should plan for a late night. I do not think he is implying that you stay there overnight.
