I voted for definitely. I completely understand the logistics, time, money and effort put into hosting an event. It is downright rude to respond yes and not show.
I debated marking "unforeseen circumstances" but I feel that people will interpret that how they want and there may be a very broad definition for some. In other words, significant illness, death in family, etc are universal reasons and I how personally define unforeseen circumstances. However, I know people who would define it as "I don't have a baby-sitter" because they forgot to call one or "it's been a long week and I am tired."
What your poll doesn't include is if you are not able to go to a function do you respond "no" or just not respond? I always try to respond "no" just to let the host know that I received the invitation and to thank them for including me/us. It also doesn't leave the host wondering how many random people may show up who didn't RSVP. (because those exist too....)
