Accepted answer

It is up to you. In general, you do repeat it when you are praying together with other people, but if you are on your own, you can choose whether you want repeat the antiphon after each strophe of the invitatory.

The antiphon at the beginning of the psalms or canticles should always be recited or sung, but you can choose whether to repeat it at the end of psalm. Only in the invitatory is customary to repeat the antiphon after each strophe. You can read that in the General Instruction on the Liturgy of Hours. Read especially the numbers 34-36 and 110-120. I use also the 4-volume set where this is explained in the Ordinary and also the iBreviary app either on my mobile phone or in my browser. The fact that you can omit the antiphon repetition in the invitatory is explained here.
