I don't think it's very polite to send Evites in the first place. So I would back away from calling people who don't respond to them rude, as it is hypocritical.

Some of us are not stuck in the 80s and doing paper invites.

Some of us are also not stuck in 2002 and doing Evites.

And you think texting is a better way to reach 50 people?

Best to do both.

Why are you offended that another email sits unnoticed in someone's spam folder?

I just checked with the two people who never viewed the evite to my party. It was lost in both their spam folders. Honest mistake, and one I’ve been guilty of as well. They both happily RSVPed once they knew about it.

I’ve also been guilty of viewing an invite, not replying because I wanted to check dates, and totally forgetting. That’s only happened for kid parties though, and I fully realize it’s really bad of me and woke up a week after the party suddenly remembering and feeling awful about it. My mind is pretty much Swiss cheese these days though and it’s all I can do to keep up with work. I’m sorry.

OP, I had to go to inbox infinity years ago. I get hundreds of emails a day between my professional and personal email. I try to keep up but unless Gmail treats it as primary, it will take a while because I can't scroll through a bunch of non-primary emails every day. My friends will send me personal texts to make sure I know about an invite, and I respond to those. I'm doing my best, and no ill will is intended but I don't have capacity to notice evites.

I get wedding and bat/bar mitzvah invites at least six weeks in advance. I just decide if I want to go and RSVP, and then plan around that event.

Same here. Whenever I got invites that far in advance, it was for a milestone celebration so I planned around that event if I was in town and did not have any travel plans. Sometimes I say Maybe if I am unsure, so the host can know that I may end up coming for the event. I feel like it is the polite thing to do rather than just viewing and ignoring for weeks.

GTFO.

A wedding is a bit different than a kindergarten classmate’s (who you’ve never met) birthday party at a trampoline park, yes?
