I would try to give as much notice as possible. A friend of mine cancelled her plans to attend a wedding at the last minute because she had to take an exam to get into medical school (that she knew about for awhile). It created lots of problems between her and the friend (in fact I don't think they really speak anymore). I think that if you are not crazy about attending the wedding, it is rude to respond yes in the first place. Weddings are expensive and it is my understanding that a lot of places will charge you whether or not the person attends. So if you get 5 or 6 people (or more) cancelling at the last minute at 50-100 a plate, that really adds up. It's one thing if a true emergency arises but if you know ahead a time that you didn't really want to come and did this to me, I would be super pissed, but that is just me too.
