This doesn't happen when you're throwing a get-together of 5-10 close friends.

It's more frequent for me with parties of 100+ invites.

The way I accidentally don't invite people is

1. I setup Facebook event.

2. I scroll through a list of my friends on Facebook.

3. As I scroll through I invite any friends I think would have a good time at the party and are in town.

4. Never realize I didn't to invite Jake.

5. During or day after party I wonder why Jake didn't come. Then remember that he doesn't have Facebook

I don't think most people sit down and try to remember every person they know. Then create a list of people to invite and then use Facebook to invite them. I think they go through Facebook and invite the ones they recognize similar to the way I do it. It's also hard to keep track of who is, and isn't using Facebook at any given time.
