The gift didn't arrive until a few days after the bridal shower. The bride-to-be emailed me the following Monday to tell me she didn't receive a card from me. Is that rude or should I have made sure she received the gift at the shower?
If I ever become one of those brides, shoot me.

That's rude. You had no obligation, even as a bridesmaid, to send a gift to a shower you were not attending.

This is not the first time she's exhibited signs of Bridezilla behavior. When I flew out to NY for her bachelorette party, she practically prohibited me from spending any time with my other friends in NYC. She said "I'm the one getting married and it's not my job to accommodate your social life." I flew across the country for a few short days and she expects me to devote every mintue to her? I mean really. It's so selfish. Am I right or am I right?

I feel for you, but did she have activities planned which you could not attend because you had made other plans? Or did she just ask you to be by her side 24/7? If the first, then she has a point, if the latter, then I agree with TF - fuck her. Bad enough you have to wear a bridesmaid dress all night, fly across country to be with this monstrosity (who is one of your best friends? - drop her like a rock).
