Not Invited to Cousin's Wedding

My cousin is getting married. We used to live next door to each other when we were teenagers and have always been friendly. There's no big family drama, no issues, we don't see each other frequently but text occasionally, and see each other at family gatherings.

Cousin has invited all of our family, and all of her cousins (including all my siblings) to her wedding, but hasn't invited me. I've spoken to my Mum about it who says she thinks it's because we have small children, they aren't having kids at their wedding, and we have no one to look after the kids (my entire family will be at the wedding, DH is an orphan and only child).

Whilst I appreciate that may be the case AIBU to think it would have been nice to receive just a courtesy invitation rather than just being completely ignored? I feel so hurt that it's left me in tears and I can't really think rationally about it.

I haven't asked her directly because I don't do conflict, so I'm just quietly very sad.

Any update @Caribun?
I’d be very sad to be excluded.

I think my birthday will go pretty similar OP and it is a big one. Several other things which I won’t go into are happening around my birthday. I know my birth family won’t give two hoots about seeing me never mind celebrating. My DH wants to do something to celebrate it with our adult DC but due to one thing and another we won’t have time for a break away to coincide with my birthday (which is what I wanted to do to celebrate). I think at best it will be a compromise lunch or evening meal and nothing else will happen.
