Here is the Gift Registry!

http://www.thankyou.com.au/

Instructions:
1. Go to FIND A REGISTRY in the bottom centre of the home page
2. Select 'WEDDING' for 'Occasion Type'
3. Enter 'KNIGHT' in the last name box (you can also use 'HELD', if that's how you roll)
4. Enter 18/04/2009 in the 'Occasion Date' field
5. Press FIND
6. On the results screen, click on the 'Gift Registry' link on the right hand side
7. Read our welcome message, then click on the 'Select a Gift' tab to view the registry.

If you have any problems or questions please feel free to contact Jules or myself. Please also read the welcome note, as it has some information in there that is useful (particularly about IKEA gift vouchers).

P.S. This registry doesn't mean you need to get us a gift, we are more than happy for you just to be there on the day, especially those of you travelling from interstate. :)

ETA: We've heard that some people may be having trouble accessing the registry; we've expanded the instructions to try and remove ambiguity, and if you still have trouble either leave a comment or contact us.

Accommodation Proclamation

So due in part to our jetsetting ways over the past few years, as well as our different hometowns, there'll be a lot of you travelling into Adelaide for this wedding, and you'll need somewhere to sleep. My mum and dad's place is already full up, so here are a bunch of suggested hotels and accommodation options you can check out if you need ideas.

OUTSIDE THE CBD:
These are hotels just outside the CBD (which is where the wedding is) and are thus easy to commute in from.

- Jasper Motor Inn
('plain and comfy', according to my parents)

- Tiffins On The Park

- The Arkaba Hotel
(some friends of ours stayed here and absolutely loved it)


INSIDE THE CBD:
Given that the wedding is taking place inside the CBD, staying inside it should make moving about fairly easy.

Honestly, though, it's much of a muchness. The best bet is to check out Wotif and check out deals and offers in Adelaide's CBD. If Wotif is too confusing, here are several options:

- Hotel Grand Chancellor

- Stamford Plaza Adelaide

- Mercure Grosvenor

- The Sebel Playford

You can also check out this map we made of the CBD, and where each part of the day is taking place.

Let us know if you have any problems or questions.

Happy last day of summer, y'all...

Coming Soon!

Hi!

Hopefully the fact you're reading this means you've gotten your invite, and have decided to check out the web address we gave you. This makes us happy, if only because it means the Post Office was nice and actually delivered the invites (apparently A5 envelopes require double postage. Who'da thought it? We certainly didn't.)

So this post is just here as another placeholder, to remind you to check back soon as we add various and sundry bits of information like maps, the gift registry, accommodation suggestions for you out-of-towners, and maybe even insightful (or failing that, short) blog posts about how the wedding preparations and so forth are going. So bookmark this, and check back soon!

Oh, and the sooner you all get your RSVPs in, the easier it is for us. So get back to us!

Don't be afraid to add comments to blog posts, or if you have a blogger/gmail account feel free to follow us.

- Julian

P.S. - as I write this, it's two months precisely until the wedding. How serendipitous!
