I’m leaning towards YTA. Both of you really. If your reasoning was delivered to her the same way it’s written here, then you’d been unnecessarily rude. You could’ve suggested a few dishes that matched your menu and advised her of serious allergies. She might’ve initially been just being polite. But after a response like that one might decide not to listen just out of spite. Can’t say I blame her.

NTA. Stop inviting her. If she or your brother asks why, tell them it’s your home, party, and rules, not theirs, so they are no longer welcome for repeatedly thinking they can ignore you and do as they please. Oh, and if you are in any mutual social media groups, post this and everything they did every time that led up to it.
