Yeah, for some reason, people suck about stuff like this. I have no idea why, or how it has become so widespread.
I usually have a party rule: I invite well in advance (a couple of weeks or more) and tell people to RSVP; I send out a reminder with request to RSVP a week or so in advance; if I have less than a quorum (a minimum number I decide on based on total invited) of responses by the middle of the week of the party, I cancel.
