I totally understand what you mean.

But as a bootstrapped startup, we have to make tradeoffs as our budget is limited. We have to accept invitations gradually today to keep our servers alive. We should be able to accept everybody within a few days at most. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I hadn't thought of the load. If it's there because you need to rate-limit users, then I completely understand. Would be ideal to take everyone instantly, but the world isn't always ideal.
