I've done invoices for several of my businesses in the past. I just put my name and contact information, their name and contact information, the word "INVOICE", the date the payment is due, and then list the itemized service(s) by date. On each line, I put the date, what was done, dotted line, then the amount. At the end, there is a total. The recipient then knows how much to pay, who to pay, and what it is for. For one company that makes mistakes, overpaying me and underpaying me, I also have a short history at the beginning with how much was owed in the past, how much was paid, and how much is still due from that balance (whether over or under), then I start the current list. One time they accidentally paid me double because I sent a second invoice after the deadline, so now I have to mark "Duplicate" on those kinds of invoices. That check was so big that I returned it "Return Receipt Requested". No, it wasn't for a signing.

Now that seems odd...maybe you should include your terms in
case they dump a large package on you or fax backs or whatever or say specifically what the fee quoted covers and anything extra is additional. But don't listen to me, I'm wrong a lot. I have a very simple invoice in word I could email you if you message me. I know there are some free sites on line, but just easiest for me to do them in word and keep in my online file.

I would add your tax ID, payment address, and who to make the check payable to, along with "net 30" or whatever your terms are. Microsoft Word has plenty of invoice templates you can access.
