For our wedding last year, we had to have a final count in 72 hours before the event. We still had between
15-20 not show up last-minute who had RSVPd yes (yes, I was slightly peeved about that, especially when some of them either offered completely lame excuses or no excuses at all.)
What the bride did is definitely not cool, especially this late into the planning, but as a former bride, I know we're not always thinking how our decisions will affect others.
Are there going to be other girls from your chapter or people you know? If so, I'd say go and have fun with them! Eat up, drink up, take as many favors and pieces of cake as you want. If not, then I'd personally probably stay at home and maybe (maybe) try and get in touch with the bride a month or so after the wedding after the dust has all settled (that is, if you still want to keep in touch with her.)
