Wedding invite, but our children aren't invited 🤔

We have some friends that have invited us to their wedding, but they don't want children there at all. Which is fine, it's their choice... but we will have an almost 3 year old and a 10 month old then. We have no one in the family that can babysit! At all! We are not happy with paying for a stranger to look after ours kids (just how we feel!) and it's a few hours away so we would have to stay overnight! So looks like my husband will have to go alone and I'll have to miss out :-(

EDIT- I'm not saying I'm annoyed they haven't invited kids as I know it's there choice and they can do what they like it's their wedding. But a lot of there friends including us have children and some people don't have the option of babysitters x
