I can’t find the option to invite followers by inputting their email addresses.
Sorry, I know must be there somewhere but I can’t find it. The new stats page isn’t working for me so I’ve reverted to the old one. I’m assuming it’s somewhere under Followers …The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I too am having this issue. I just don’t know where to go to add this as an option for people who have asked me about getting email notifications.
My blog is hebeegbeezblog.wordpress.com -
Hi there. To invite people to follow your blog you need to go to the Users section of the WP-Admin dashboard. Instructions to do that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
As for email notifications, besides inviting people you can also put the Follow Blog widget on your site to allow people to easily subscribe to email notifications: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Lastly, logged in WordPress.com users can also subscribe for email notifications from the Blogs I Follow section of the Reader: https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/#manage-email-and-im-settings-for-specific-blogs

What you are looking for does not exist. There is no such mass mailing feature here at WordPress.com.
IMPORTANT Note: When followers or commenters provide an email address for a specific purpose you cannot use it for any other purpose. In fact doing that in Canada and other countries is against the law.
Here at WordPress.COM our subscribers make the decision to act and to subscribe to our blogs. They control their own subscriptions; we don’t. They also determine how frequently they wish to receive our posts (instantly, daily, weekly, never) by email. Many choose to follow in the WordPress.COM Reader rather than by email.
You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widgets by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts go to > Settings > Reading and scroll down to Follower Settings:
These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.
Logged out users __ Show follow button to logged out users.Checking this will present a follow button to logged out users in the bottom corner of their screen.
We have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.

It does exist because I’ve used it before. Maybe I expressed it wrong. There was a function whereby I could email my friends an invitation to follow my blog. Then they could just become email followers. Or am I going completely crazy?

Know there is a built-in spam prevention limit so do not send more than 10 invitations out at any point in time. -
