WIBTA If I Didn't Attend My Friend's Bridal Shower After RSVPing Yes?

Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster. Recently, I (27F) graduated from college. Receiving my Bachelor's was a huge accomplishment for me since I didn't take the traditional route of going to college for 4 years right after high school. I never thought I'd graduate, but I did. My friends know my struggles with school and how much this meant to me. They've all been very supportive and I feel so lucky to be able to celebrate my accomplishment with my friends.

This past weekend was my graduation party. My one friend (28F) had RSVP'd "Yes" for her and her fiancè. I've always supported her throughout her accomplishments and shown up for her. I've celebrated her graduation and her engagement. I visited and checked in on her multiple times when she had emergency surgery. For the few years I've known her, we've always had a good friendship. However, she never showed up to my graduation party. She didn't call or text. I didn't hear anything from her fiancè either (who I'm also friends with). This was really disappointing and a little hurtful.

Her bridal shower is next weekend. I originally RSVP'd "yes" and had every intention of going to celebrate her. Now, I'm debating on not going. WIBTA if I didn't attend the bridal shower despite RSPVing "yes"?

EDIT: Yes, I did check in and did not receive a response. According to social media, she was out and about the morning of.

EDIT #2/Update: Redditors, you're right. I will be attending her shower and addressing the situation with her no-showing at another time. Besides this incident, she's been a good friend and has shown up for a lot. But it's best for now to not act out of emotion. Thank you all for your brutally honest opinions. I appreciate the reality check.
