Forgot to invite cousin to baby shower

3 replies

I'm not that close with my mum's side of the family and only ever see them once or twice a year (sometimes less than that) as they all live quite far from me. I do, however, have one cousin who lives quite locally to me, but we don't really have a close relationship.

I recently had a baby shower and completely forgot about her! I've since heard that she's quite upset and has been asking other family members why she wasn't invited and I feel awful. Do I send a message and apologise? What would I even say in the apology? I can't exactly say 'sorry you weren't invited, I completely forgot about you'

Please help 😩

Leave it. You haven’t done anything wrong.

Don’t message, call her . Clearly she feels closer to you than you do her

sorry I pressed send before I was finished, maybe invite her to come and see you when the baby is born just explain that you just forgot and that this was not usual for you

it might be an opportunity to get closer to a member of your family who lives local to you -which is a nice thing!
