Well ... I don't know how big this soror's wedding is, but lots of people can't afford to invite everyone they would like to their wedding. It may not be intended as a slight at all. My mom had a tiny wedding because she and my dad were in college and they simply couldn't afford anything else.

And since people don't arrange their own showers, it's not like the bride to be is asking for gifts from people she didn't invite to partake in the festivities.

On the other hand, it's somewhat unusual but not unheard of for people to attend showers of wedding they are not invited to (unless the bride is of a religion where some people can't attend the actual ceremony - this happens with Mormon weddings, but guests are usually invited to the reception in that case). I have seen an entire sorority throw a shower for someone when they knew they wouldn't all be attending, especially if the sisters are still geographically close.

So ... what am I trying to say ... it's maybe unusual, and the girl who is upset is under to obligation to attend, but I don't think feeling angry is appropriate.
