I'm the kind of asshole who doesn't reply until the very last minute.

Most times, I just click the "back" button and try to remember when it's happening. Unless its invitation addressed specifically to me (by first name, for example), I tend to think it's a blanket invitation and my specific response isn't really necessary. Most things I get invited to are just "hey, I want to have some people over and hey, you're one of those people."

If they actually take the effort to specifically message me, even if it's like:

"Hey {My First Name}:

You comin' on Saturday? I think you should.

Thanks,
{My friend}"

I'll respond. Otherwise I just hit "Maybe Attending" or nothing at all.

So in answer to your question, I think individually addressed messages are the way to elicit the type of response you want.
