Have you already been invited? If so the correct answer is: "I am invited to the (a) party tomorrow."

If you think that in the future it �s possible, then use the first sentence: "I will be invited to the (a) party tomorrow."

Both of sentences are correct.

Let �s find the difference between two expressions for the future " will " and " be +V_ing"

It depends on what you want the sentence to mean.

I will be invited to a party tomorrow.

This means that there is a party with an unknown date. Tomorrow, I will be invited to this party.

I am invited to the party tomorrow.

There is a party the next day. I am already invited.

"will be" something that is going to happen

"am" present state of being

.....and don �t forget "going to" for future meaning + present continuous for future arrangements:

She �s going to get married in the spring.
We �re going to have a party next week.
I �m meeting friends for lunch tomorrow.
We �re leaving for Paris on Sunday.
