If you have access to your server, you could set up an invites table in your database.
Create a php script where you generate a unique invite ID and supply that as a parameter to a signup script (You could use hidden input fields to store it).
If the invite ID doesn't match an already generated one in the database then it's clearly someone who wasn't invited so you can ignore their signup request.

If you don't want to make it yourself, you could try a plugin like [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Thats exactly what I was thinking would be the right way to go.
