Forgot to ask my fav cousin to be a bridesmaid- How do I handle this?

Are you having poems or bible passages being read she could do that.

You could have her as a specail speaker and talk about how awesome you are and growing up together and things like that

I think just be honest with her and tell her how awful you feel forgetting. You should definitely acknowledge it rather than just giving her some random job. If you want to give her a special job....you def. should...but definitely just be upfront and tell her how bad you feel. I'm sure she'll appreciate your honesty.

I agree with Aquilla. If you ask her now to do something she is going to know that you are doing it out of guilt. Be honest with her. She will love and respect you more for being honest.

Along with what the others are saying.. could she be an MC at your dinner/reception? that's a really important job and she can feel just as included.. involve her with the rehearsal dinner, etc.

If she was your "fav cousin" how did you forget?? Lol...I know that as we grow- we become different people, diff friends, diff place in life but you never forget your childhood memories. It was the SAME EXACT way with me too, my younger cousin & I were more like sisters- we hung out every weekend did everything together- grew up together!! She is my Maid of Honor, I wouldn't have it any other way No, we don't talk and hang out EVERYday but it's our bond is what matters! You can have her do a passage/ reading or something like that at the ceremony without her looking out of place ...
