Is there as way to shut off the invitation when you set up a new user?

Is there as way to shut off the invitation when you set up a new user?  I would like to get all my users in the system, my org structure set up and tested, etc, BEFORE I invite the users.  I did not see a way to shut of the automatic invitation email.  The only way to get around it is to set up the users with no Email ID.  However, when you do that - you get into the problem of not being able to update a user's Email ID (which makes NO sense whatsoever).  If I set up a user with an incorrect email ID - there is no way to fix it unless I delete and recreate the user.  It seems that an administrator should be able to change an Email ID at any time.
