Am I being sensitive?

Got engaged one week ago! I sent my close family pictures and then posted them online. I have received some congratulations but some people haven’t, including my stepmom and my 3 step siblings. I also had a birthday the same week and they did wish me a happy birthday but now im feeling upset they haven’t said congrats. We are all in a group chat together and they saw my posts, and one of my stepsiblings partners even said congrats.

I expressed in the group chat that i would like to celebrate and only my dad answered saying sure as long as we clean after ourselves and bring food. I kinda felt a little bad because it felt like we were being brushed off so I cancelled latter to see that all my siblings/ stepsiblings went to his house to eat on the weekend and didn’t call us to invite us to join. I feel like im being silly for wanting them to make a big deal but also…i feel like they should?

am i doing too much? or are they really doing too little? also i decided not to have a bridal party so i wouldn’t leave my stepsiblings out (bc i would have my sisters but not them) but now im feeling upset and like i should just do it and leave them out. 😵‍💫
