Invitations sent via email have some characteristics that may lead recipients to interpret them as spam:

1. The subject line is generic and does not contain the sender's name.
2. The personalized message and sender image are not at the top of the invite, so the receiver may need to scroll.
3. Not everybody downloads remote content by default, so much of the invite content will appear blank/blocked.

This happened to me personally, the recipient took one look the mail and deleted it...
