Bridal Shower Quandry

There are probably quite a few brides here on PT so I wonder if you could help me to decide what to do about this.

I have been invited to a certain girl's bridal shower. This girl was a high school friend of my boyfriend. I have met her only twice - two years ago, we ran into her at a supermarket and we chatted for maybe 3 miutes. Then last month, we went to the engagement party and I literally could not pick her out of the crowd. I didn't get a chance to talk to her at the party and she did not introduce me to any of the houseful of other guests. I felt very awkward as her friends were quite unwelcoming to me.

I guess she asked my boyfriend for my address because I got a shower invite in the mail. She spelled my first name wrong and she didn't even know what my surname is. Likewise, I have no idea what her surname is!

Anyway, I barely know this girl and I feel I am being invited solely so I will add to the gift pile. Why else would she invite me? She and my boyfriend aren't even close.

I don't mean to be bitchy at all, but do I really have to go just because I'm invited? I really don't want to spend a summer Saturday watching a near-stranger tear open gifts in the company of dozens of other strangers... I feel like making a stand but I don't want to enrage the bride.
