Default Saying you'll come and then not also bad form.
If you are serving food it can be a panic when more than expected show up. What drives me crazy is when people say they will come and then don't, especially if it is a dinner. When I moved to Marietta, GA a few years back I hosted a neighborhood get together offering wine and cocktail snacks, in an effort to get to know my new neighbors. I got 15 rsvps that they would come. I was crazed getting enough food and wine. On the evening two couples showed up so 6 people instead of the expected 30. We don't drink much so those two couples went home with a ton of wine and food. I mean if you find someone objectionable how hard is it to find an excuse or just say you have something planned.
