How do I say no to being ask to be a Godparent? My cousin is about to have her baby. Her and her husband have asked me and my wife to be the godparents. My cousin and I aren't very close, I see them maybe once every couple years, and their request caught me off guard. 

This isn't really something me and my wife want to do, not for any real reason but just because it seems odd to us.

How do we say no without offending my cousin?
