ITA, with people like that, you
have to be blunt. It might make your husband uncomfortable having to be like that, but it's better than having your party spoiled by selfish folks too cheap to find a babysitter. Also, I like the offer of coming over at another time, it gives both sides an out.
Unless you could find a mutual friend that you could arrange for them to drop their kids off with - but that's really going above and beyond, and it doesn't sound like these friends are close enough to warrant it.
