Friend tried to ditch helping me with sister's shower party?

I apologize, I made a confusing post because I was super emotional.
I am friends with two sisters A and B. A is my best friend, but I am also close with B.
B is getting married and I am only a wedding guest (this is already confirmed). I vented to my grandma and she was shocked I was not in the bridal party. She watched all of us grow up together and saw how close we were.
A is having a baby shower hosted at my parents place. The idea was for us to work together and get everything ready.
B is having her bach party the day before and she was asking what she could contribute and pay for. Asking if I would be in charge of the menu and stuff. She would come help 2 hours before the party. I was not invited to the party the day before the shower. I would have been working alone doing everything with B strolling in right before the party.
I love A and I am contributing quite a bit with decor and a dessert she likes. A even told me that her sister and SIL were in charge of planning everything.

But you do know, she has told you and it’s not for another 2 weeks so plenty of time for A or B to make other plans for food. Or you to arrange a delivery, for your ‘best friend in the world’.

How do you cope with the curveballs of parenthood when something like this has got you in such a state? If you’re this salty over not being asked to be a bridesmaid (which seems to be the root of this), wait til you’re parent of a teen!

I am hurt at the fact that she was hoping I would step in and do the while party by myself.
