On Najm, the invitation writes the rest

Type the names and each one’s parents once, and choose who invites. The invitation sets the request line, the day with its Islamic date, the time and the place, and greets each family by name on its own link. Each family replies on it.

£49, once, however many families you invite. Paid when you send it, after you have seen it exactly as your guests will.
