Keep track of User-to-User Application Requests ( invites )

I'm working on new project and want to allow Facebook invites.

I need to throttle invites though, as I'm focused on Product and not Scalability right now.

I'm trying to grasp how I can do this with the current Facebook system....

Using the Requests Dialog:

I really want to ensure that my small group of users can only invite one or two people right now. Until I scale, I can't risk having an extra 100 total accounts. Even if I drop the requests to "1", all someone needs to do is pop-open another request dialog and they can invite more people.

Anyone have an idea ?

Could you instead ask the users to send a link to a person that they would like to invite, which could contain a referral or beta / access key? You could then limit the number of keys / links that each user can generate.

E.g:

Refer a friend to the service:

<input box for e-mail> <send button>

Friend receives:

XYZ wants you to join FunNewSite.Org
