  Do your friends have WordPress.com accounts? They don’t need blogs, but they do need to have accounts. The only personal information they give to wp is a valid email address; the email address is the way wp can identify who is allowed to view your private site.

  Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.

  Thanks for the answer. They all have WordPress accounts, as the blog is private.

  Yes, but did they have accounts before you sent the invitations? You might just try sending the invitations again, making sure the usernames or emails are exact.
