    I would ring cousin and have a chat.

    Things always come up before and after people RSVP. We had friends ring 4 days before wedding saying they couldnt come to ceremony and reception due to her having a bleed in early preg and ment to be on bed rest but she wanted to come to part of it, we told them to do what felt best for them and to not push self we would understand. (in end they didnt come to any of it as she had another bleed)
    We also had DH boss call him day before wedding at 1630 to say him and wife not coming no reason!!! He did get 1 person from his work to replace at last minute but we still had empty seats.

    Sorry all my wawful what I am saying as not unusal for people to need to change what they have RSVP and maybe your cousin could ring someone else at last min if u were in hospital. As even with a newborn you could go to wedding if feeling up to it!

    I am in extactly the same situation as you. DD is flowergirl 3rd December and this bubby is due 8th December. The wedding is 4 hours from home and I am going to go. DH is not happy that I'm going and really wishes I wouldn't go but I just can't miss DD being a flowergirl.
    If DD wasn't a flowergirl I wouldn't be going.
    How far away is the wedding? If it is close to home that doesn't involve you travelling I'd go but if you have to travel I wouldn't go.
    The day of my wedding I had 10 people pull out the reception - these things happen and I'm sure your cousin would understand if you are in labour/hospital.

    I'm just praying my waters don't break in the middle of the ceremony or on the dance floor while I'm cutting a groove.

    it's only 20minutes away max so it's not far away which is good. the reception place is closer to the hospital than my house ^^;

    Definitely go then You could party away your early labour on the dance floor, move those hips, get baby moving down!!!

    Seriously, I'd call, let them know what's happening and take it as it comes. You're family, you're not making up some lame excuse, you're being upfront. I'd be understandable if I were the bride!

    Liviam - seriously, 10 people??? That is really terrible.

    I'd go. You can't miss a wedding. Have the baby on the dance floor if you have to. Alternatively, take a newborn in a sling. Either way, covered.

    But, yeah, agree with all that talk to yer cuzzie stuff.
