Husband attending stag do on my birthday

Close mutual friends of ours have organised their stag and hens do on my birthday. They are aware it is my birthday weekend (have been told twice). Last year they were away for my birthday, no worries there, but didn't acknowledge it which hurt. What also annoys me is that I won't get to celebrate my birthday properly with my husband as he is best man so has said he has to go which I understand. They will also be organising strippers which my husband knows I am not happy about. She has also organised a venue for her 30th birthday that weekend as she has a birthday a few days after mine (which is great and should be fun).

But with the stag/hens do and her birthday there is little time to celebrate mine. Thinking this is going to be a pretty crappy birthday with my husband at the stag do with strippers and me on my own. My question is, am I being over sensitive or selfish or is it rude of them to organise the stag/hens do on my birthday, when they could organise another weekend (the wedding isn't until another two months). Also the wedding is overseas and will cost us a fortune and we have a new bub so really can't afford it. But we can't say no as hubby is the best man.

Oh and also meant to say - it's their choice to get married abroad, and you then have to decide if you want to go (and can afford to) or not. I would say that going when you don't really want to and moaning about it is pretty pointless...
