These two both derive from the Latin vocare, “to call,” but the prefixes made these verbs differ both in Latin and in English. Today to evoke is “to call forth, to summon, to elicit,” as in Just the mention of his name evoked smiles from all who knew him. To invoke means “to call upon and hence to appeal to, to resort to, to beg or ask for,” as in She invoked the wrath of the gods upon the traitor and Their argument invoked the First Amendment. Both are Standard in these senses.
