The Smiths is plural for "Smith" and means there is more than one person named Smith and the invitation is from them all.  When in doubt, we like to use "The Smith Family".

The Smith's (with an apostrophe) is the plural possessive of "Smith".  The "Smith's" means the possession of more than one "Smith" of something (see Rule 2 below) like "The Smith's car is green". 

So, the proper grammar is from "The Smiths" or "The Smiths invite you ..." You are using the plural form of Smith (Smiths) not possessive for (Smith's), so no apostrophe, please!
