I just received a baby shower invitation from a "supposed" close friend of my husband, yet this person didn't even acknowledge my husband when he was in the hospital.
Her invitation comes as a slap in the face. I feel bad for her and annoyed at the same time, which I just don’t think is the desired reaction from a baby shower invitation.
You've run headlong into the phenemenon I covered in this blog:

Rather than consider it a "slap in the face," you might simply redefine this "friend" as an "acquaintance," and realize the latter won't live up to the standards of the former. Sad but true, alas.
I did do that. :s
