Depends on how i am invited. If it is a facebook invite, i may not see it. If it is important, then you should send a personal message via text or email.
If it is an evite, i am more likely to see it and rsvp.
If it is paper, I will send a reply.
People are quite lax about their invites now, so it can't be surprising there are not respomses.

I threw a party back in mid-January, and invited people in various ways, all of which had RSVP included: my neighbors got paper invitations passed out at their doors - most showed up after letting me know they were coming, or responded that they couldn't make it, while some friends received mailed paper invitations, while others were sent emails or phone calls. These friends were quite varied in their responses.
Those who showed up either responded verbally or by email, text, or phone calls. About a third of the no-shows let me know they wouldn't be attending. The rest - well, a few asked how it had gone when they next saw me, but didn't reply to the invitations prior to the event, while others ignored the whole thing. All email addresses were correct and current.
I had just under thirty people in attendance (capacity for my house); we had a lot of fun, and the party was a great success. But I've decided that there is no reason to continue to invite people who ignore my invitations and show no interest and offer no excuses for such behavior. Why would I want these people in my home, anyway, after such rude obliviousness? Ignore my invitations and you won't get any more. Problem solved!
As a kid, I've had birthday parties where a few people don't shop up. In second grade, no one showed up for my birthday party, just like Glenn.
So, please enlighten me as to why you don't RSVP to parties?
I had 0% attendance at my 7 year birthday party.
To this day I don't know if my mother really invited anyone or not, but she said she invited 'all my friends' at the time. Now she back-pedals and says she's sure she invited them but doesn't remember anymore the specific event...
We always RSVP.
Because our functions are usually pretty dependent on knowing numbers, if people don't RSVP to us, we call/text them to ask a week or two before the event. Then subtract a couple who will bail on the party day of.
I'm too wishy-washy to RSVP to things. I always change my mind and don't like being tied down to events... if I feel like I'm being anchored to something, I'll find any way to regain "control" and my freedom.
I don't like being seen as a flake, so I don't make commitments unless I know, 100%, that I'm willing to go to an event or party. Only if I must will I RSVP, but it makes me feel more anxious and nervous when I do.

This statement is all about you, with no consideration at all given to those kind enough to invite you. Please tell your friends not to request that you RSVP anymore, since it causes you such undue stress to have to respond one way or another - then seek help for this problem, which indicates you may very likely have other similar issues that will unnecessarily complicate your life.

Too late for that. While we're at it, add 'narcissist' to the mix.

And what about the people who are taking the time to plan a nice event or outing, and who had the courtesy to want you to come, but are having trouble making arrangements because you can't be bothered to speak up one way or the other?
