There is something which I am still not sure about which is should I use 誘うor 呼ぶ when telling someone that I was invited by the inviter who is the host/sponsor of the event.

For example:

私はスミスさんにカラオケに誘われました。
or
私はスミスさんにカラオケに呼ばれました。
The two sentences have different meanings.

First one means "I was asked to go karaoke by Smith."

Second one means (and I'm changing the voice) "Smith called me and asked me to come to the karaoke." Smith was already at the karaoke as he made this call.
