Yes, if your Django project needs user invitations and you accept GPL-3.0 licensing. The package is production-stable, actively maintained, has low install friction, and integrates cleanly with django-allauth. No, if your project is proprietary or closed-source, as the copyleft license is incompatible.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Django 3.2+ and Python 3.8+; must be added to INSTALLED_APPS and database migrations run.

What it is and what it does
Django-invitations is a reusable Django app that handles the creation and management of user invitations. It provides a generic invitation model and backend system, allowing developers to integrate invitation workflows into their applications with minimal boilerplate. The package is designed to work seamlessly with django-allauth for authentication but can also function independently.
The package abstracts the invitation lifecycle—creating invitations, storing them, and managing acceptance—through a pluggable backend architecture. This means you can extend or replace the default behavior to fit your application's needs. It supports Django 3.2 through 4.2 and modern Python versions (3.8–3.12), making it compatible with current Django projects. The single runtime dependency on django keeps the installation lightweight.
Use it for
- Build a SaaS application where administrators send email invitations to new users who then register via a unique link.
- Implement a closed-beta signup flow where only invited users can create accounts.
- Create a team collaboration platform where existing members can invite others to join their workspace.
- Add an invitation system to an existing Django+django-allauth project without writing custom invitation logic.
- Extend the default invitation backend to enforce custom rules (e.g., domain-based invitations, expiration policies).
