Ja, viele Leute einladen.
You need the past participle *eingeladen* for a passive meaning, not the infinitive *einladen*.

When *viele* modifies a plural noun, it stays in the nominative form *viele*, not dative *vielen*.

Cultural Tip
In German, *Leute* is the go‑to word for “people” in everyday speech, while *Personen* sounds more formal or written. The passive construction *sind eingeladen* is very common for invitations; you could also use the perfect *wurden eingeladen* to stress that the invitation happened in the past. Remember that the verb must agree with the plural subject – never *ist*.
