Accumulated pics

Man, I can't believe I haven't posted since December! TBH I all but forgot about my poor neglected wedding blog. But now that I have less than two months until the big day, I see no reason why I should give up. So I've decided that instead of blathering on too much I'm going to post three wedding-related pics from my phone of some random bits and pieces from the last couple of months...

The above are my Ravenclaw garters (one to wear and throw, the other a keepsake) that I had custom made from an online store. They weren't cheap, but they will serve as one of those geeky little personalised touches we wanted to incorporate, and also as my "something blue". Ravenclaw is my favourite House in Harry Potter, and according to a quiz designed by JK Rowling herself, where I would hypothetically be sorted.

Cake bags that I ordered from eBay. Cute and simple.

Table name cards! I'm concerned that some of them will dwarf some of the centrepiece candleholders, so I'm going to try and devise a way to actually make them a part of the centrepieces through careful arranging. Don't know how well it'll work!

The placecards that tie onto the bonbonniere have also been made (apart from a couple of last-minute RSVPs that I may receive) in the same style as the table names. One of those things that I thought would be a huge daunting task, but only took one afternoon.

Things are starting to happen now... we're going to see about the guys' suits on Thursday night (they were closed when we went on Sat arvo!), Rydges want to see us in early March for our first meeting since we booked the place, then we have bridesmaids alterations, my alterations, my hair trial... And most importantly, I finish work in five and a half weeks!!

As for IVF stuff, we had our info and counselling sessions last week, I received my treatment plan and we signed all our consent forms for our first cycle. Right now I'm in my last week of another tracking cycle (my pregnancy test will be this Monday), then I have a follow-up to discuss anything new at the end of March... After that, it's just a matter of calling them up when I get back from honeymoon and telling them I'm ready to start. If my cycles stay as regular as they have been, I should start jabbing myself with needles from around the 17th May.... joy!

I'll try and post more in the lead-up to the wedding.. even if no one reads this, it'll be nice for me to look back on in the future. :)
