I think your guests should've offered to help clean up - it's rude that they didn't. But I think it's rude for a host to ask guests to help out, too. When I'm hostessing, I always refuse help unless they're really close friends and there's not much to do... but I am also a somewhat stodgy hostess (for example, I think that caning would be an acceptable punishment for people who don't RSVP).
