Perhaps, when you spoke to your maid of honor, your tone might have suggested that you were unhappy with her. Is there a chance that you showed the disappointment you've expressed here to her? You may have said " if it is to much for you, I would understand if you wanted to back out", and she interpreted that to mean "You're not doing a good job, you're disappointing me and I wish I hadn't asked you?"
May is three months away...the bachelorette party doesn't need to be planned that far in advance unless you're going to a show where you'd need tickets or going to a spa where you'd need an appointment.
I think you should call your friend, maybe schedule a day you could meet to share a meal (maybe meet halfway) and speak to each other from your heart. Let her know how you are feeling about the wedding and about your friendship but always use the words "I feel" rather than "you make me feel". If you can't speak in person I suppose you can do the next best thing to being there.
You seem to have a certain level of expectation. Maybe if you drop that level down a bit, you may suffer less disappointment. Not every bride has a shower or bachelorette party, heck...some don't even have receptions. Try focusing on the real reason for all of the planning..the day you'll celebrate your love for your groom and profess this mutual love in the prescence of your family and friends. That's what it's all about. 10 years from now, the gifts you receive from a bridal shower will be a distant, if not nonexistent memory, but focus on your love and your marriage will be there for you to enjoy forever.
