I do them manually. That's partly why there's a bit of a delay between your ten-year anniversary and the time that the invite gets sent out. These days I tend to be away from the forum for months at a time, but when I have the inclination to come back (usually to reply to a PM) I pick up from where I left off on the members' list and send the invites to people whose accounts are ten years old up until around the present date.
Since this is a manual process, unfortunately I don't invite everyone. If I see that a person has been active within the past 3-4 years (usually by their login date) then they get an invite. If their activity information is set to private then I take a look at their posting history. If they've made a post 5+ years after their join date then regardless of recent activity I figure that there's a good chance they're still logging in somewhat regularly and I invite them. If I recognize the user name then I invite them regardless of apparent activity.
If there's a way to automate the process then I'd love to use it.
