I would include it in auth. It should be easy to implement as follows:
The inviter creates a new record for the invitee and triggers a request reset
password request with an optional custom message.
You do not need an extra table for invitations. You may need an extra field for
auth_user to store the the id of the person who created the record (invitation)
if not self.
