Today, I spent $70 on party supplies for my sister's bachelorette party, another hour decorating, three hours baking and designing a cake, before waiting five hours to hear that she and another bridesmaid had 'moved' the party elsewhere. Cake anyone? FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I spent over $160 and 2 hours preparing for a Halloween party I was throwing. The only person who showed up was my sister, who helped me decorate. FML
Today, I went to pick up my sister's wedding cake. It was a nice day, the shop was close, and the cake wasn't too big so I walked. On my way back, I stepped aside for a kid on a bike, tripped over my shoelaces, and dumped my sister's expensive, custom-designed cake. The wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, after planning 4 months in advance and spending almost $600 to cover everyone's tickets to the event center, all of my siblings decided to bail on my 30th birthday celebration because driving 3 hours is too much. FML
Today, I was at my sister's wedding. Everything was going flawlessly. That is, until our visibly drunk mom started a punch-up over who got to cut the cake first. FML
Today, my sisters and I were throwing my mom a birthday party. Since I'm not good at baking, I ordered her a really nice and expensive cake. As my daughter and I were headed out the door, she told me she had added some sprinkles to make it pretty. It was the silica beads from a package. FML
Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I was very happy. When the moment came to blow the candles, all of the decoration on the cake flew off. It had taken an hour to make and set them on the cake. FML
Today, at work, I was supposed to have an easy two-hour shift, after which I was planning on attending a party that had been arranged to celebrate my graduation. Nearly six hours later, I am just getting home after being super busy and shorthanded at work for hours. I missed my own party. FML
Today, is my little sister's 16th birthday. I spent my last $20 on a gift for her, cleaned the house for her party, made an ice cream cake, and got her a rose. What did I get? "I hope you kept the receipt for this. Oh, and stay in your room during my party." FML
Today, my family threw me a surprise party for my 29th Birthday. My brother-in-law sent me a text telling me they were all waiting for me to arrive. Thinking it was at my sister's home, I drove two hours there. It was actually at my parents' house. I missed my party and they ate my cake. FML

At least you didn't book a stripper, unless he counts as a "party supply".

Invite some friends and have your own party. And she better not expect any gifts either

Yep. That's what happens when you're a jerk to someone. Honestly, she couldn't have taken a couple minutes out of her day to call OP and tell her that the venue had been changed? Really? Anyway, I will join for Cake. Cake is good. It's so delicious.

I'm fighting with my bestie's other bridesmaid over pretty much everything, too. She most recently moved the bridal shower up two hours, knowing that everyone was traveling a couple of hours to get there and that I had work. I barely made it for the "start" of the party, but no one else (save my mother) made it until a couple of hours late. In other words, I feel your pain OP. Chin up through the wedding and then you can be done with the other bridesmaid.

You should talk to your best friend about it she is the ruling power, she can make one of you head bridesmaid and that trumps any other bridesmaid

I am the Maid of Honor. Unfortunately, I also live an hour away from my friend in comparison to the three-to-five minute jaunt for the other bridesmaid, so it's far easier for her to be there and bend the bride's ear than it is for me.
