AIBU to not go to her wedding?

My husband and I have been invited to the wedding of my old friend from university. We used to live together and were really good friends but this was 15 years ago. Since then we rarely see each other as we live in different areas of the country and I have a one year old DS. She came to our wedding but that was two years ago and was near to where she lived and she doesn't have children. We stay in touch with the odd message a couple of times a year.

I am a SAHM and we are on a really tight budget with no family near us to help. I feel terrible but I think I am going to have to decline the invite due to the cost of staying in a hotel/present etc and the fact that it will be really hard to find someone to look after DS.

AIBU?

YANBU, decline but perhaps send a card/small gift.

No. Send a card, a small gift and your best wishes.

Decline and send a card nearer the event.

Do you actually want to go to this wedding? If not just decline with regret. It's no big deal.
