...any of you following my tweets may have seen that the last week was something of a non-event for me, as I spent the whole thing in bed with horrible gastroenteritis. So wedding planning and chatter was pretty much off the menu (what was on the menu, I hear you ask? cream crackers, water and rehydration solution. YUM!)
This week, I'm going to be having a crack at gocco, with a long term view to perhaps making some invitations. I'm just checking if it's bloggable...hopefully there'll be an update soon...
I know it's still a long way off for invitations (OK, just over a year is not that long any more) but if I'm going to make the things, then I'm going to potentially need quite a long time as I don't anticipate being amazing at this stuff (having not made things like this since childhood). Also, I want to send the invitations out just after Christmas. Most weekends are booked up for the rest of the summer. Most will be booked up at Christmas. So I should invest a little brain power in it as often as I can otherwise I'll be staring the festive season in the face with no crafty bits of card to show for it...
Oh, and I also put in a request with my Mum for her to start on bunting. She IS good at this stuff, a crafting supremo. Let's hope I inherited some of those genes...

Hope you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely advise starting your invitations as early as possible, I started mine with over a year to go and I'm very nearly finished with just a month before they have to be sent out! eep!
Saying that I am far too picky for my own good and couldn't decide on a single thing!
Have fun gocco-ing :D

Hope you are feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Laura in that you should start the invites as soon as you can, or at least start thinking about them.
It took me a long time to decide too but since all our guests had had save the dates, we only sent them with around 2 months to go in the end.
