Sister didn't show up to shower...

Not really looking for advice, just a place to vent.
I have two sisters: A & S. Both half sisters, one from my mom's side and the other from my dad's side. But my family dynamic is a little different so I usually don't refer to them as half siblings.
Anyway, A is one of my bridesmaids and she helped plan the shower. She did awesome. S sent me a gift a few days ago, which I'm so grateful for. She said she was coming to the shower with my niece (near my age). S even texted me last night and said she would see me today. The shower comes, and she's nowhere to be seen. I texted her. A texted her. Never responded to me, didn't show up. I'm mostly annoyed because my FMIL paid for my sister and niece's plates, my bridesmaids spent money on favors. I just thought it was rude.
S later texted A to tell her she didn't have enough gas to drive there (20 mins away). It's a lame excuse to me, but I'm upset because she hasn't said a word to me about it. Only talked to my other sister.So, that's my rant. Anyone else have family issues like this?

Totally understand how frustrating this is. An event like this is usually planned ahead of time with time to RSVP, so there’s no reason she should have no showed unless an emergency happened. I practically had to beg my family to show up to my engagement party. People were also backing out last second after RSVPing. One of my cousins almost backed out because her dog sitter flaked. (Who needs a dog sitter for dinner?). The majority of my family did not RSVP with me and I just felt like an absolute joke to everyone. Thank God my friends and MOH showed up and RSVP’d because I really felt that no one cared. It hurts when close family members pull that on you. I hope your sister gives a genuine apology and makes up for it. I’m sorry you had to experience that!

I had a similar experience. A girl who I worked with, I was very close with her, has not responded to me. A little while ago I sent a message to all the people who have not RSVPd reminding them they would be due soon. I never heard from her, but she texted a mutual friend about how she doesn’t feel comfortable. I was like okay that’s fine maybe she’ll respond after that. Nope! She sent the decline in the mail and she never responded to my text. I was a little hurt because I thought she would have at least reached out to me instead of my friend since it is my wedding. Needless to say she threw shade at our mutual friend for going to my Las Vegas wedding.
