Feeling excluded from step mum?

So longggg story short it’s my dads 50th this month and I asked him in dec what he had planned and he smiled and said it’s not for him to organise. So I’m thinking right il message his wife and get things organised as we live 5 hours away etc. She messaged saying she is taking him away for the evening and then her daughter to doing a surprise tea nothing major. But no invite so I continue to tell her what my dad said and she just kept repeating herself that her daughter was doing something for him so okay.
A week before his birthday her daughter messaged asking if we would like to come, but now I have a week to try and get some extra cash for petrol, try and get time off work etc!
I spoke to my Nan the other day who mentioned she got invited weeks ago! The same day I asked my step mum what the plans for. I’m hurt and upset I don’t understand why they have left it this long to invite me when they know I have a son and Xmas etc and they tell me I’m going to have to get a hotel if I come down? Am I right to be upset I kinda feel like it was deliberate. My step mum made it clear that nothing was being planned for his birthday however she invited my Nan for a surprise tea but didn’t think to invite his daughter. I have raised my opinion and I’m just being blamed and kinda oh well attitude

That is a shitty thing to do , I think I would be tempted to take your dad out by yourself , or invite him to come and stay with you and treat him to a nice meal out ?

I really want to go so she doesn’t win, it’s just going to be a struggle. I’m just completely gobsmacked and hurt. When I raised my feelings with my step mum she turned around and said with and attitude like that I won’t be welcome!
I literally just said how I feel. My partner doesn’t think we should go for the simple fact is going to struggle for money etc and it’s their fault for leaving it so long
