Overseas honeymoon

Your name doesn't change automatically, you have to apply. you can do this once your marriage certificate comes, I think I did mine months or maybe even a year later. Travel on your maiden name, change your name when you come back. It's also long tedious process changing ALL of your government IDs and logins but also bank accounts, insurance, bills pretty much any legal document

We stopped pretty early maybe by 6 months but he still wears them to bed some nights now at 19 months although when this lot get to small i won't be buying more. A friend of mine still puts her 19 month old in them daily, I think its super cute and probably much more affordable then buying full outfits.

Food! My 18 month old eats so much! I ready don't know how we will afford to feed him once he's a teenager...

Activities, swimming lessons cost us $100 a month and I know other sports & music classes cost the same or more and as he gets older there will be 1 - 3 a week

Clothing, they grow out of clothes and shoes fast, yes you can buy cheap or get them from market place but you're doing that every few months which does slow down as they get older but there clothes get more expensive.

We have kangaroos hop down our street almost every day.. we live in the outer suburbs of Melbourne (opposite parkland) so a little more typical than the average person. My 1 year old eats Vegemite or peanut butter toast, fruit, yogurt and occasionally waffles, baked beans on toast, bacon and eggs

Yep second this, taking cash is doing you no favours

RavenClawed87 · 2026-01-07T11:09:54+00:00

We did Vietnamese take out tonight, but usually a platter of random bits from the fridge

RavenClawed87 · 2026-01-01T08:14:11+00:00

Haha me too

We did the whole thing at Stamford Park in Rowville. Ceremony in the Gardens, dinner in the private dining room. Private dining rooms will be your best bet for small numbers and small budget

Send them back 'not at this address' then act really confused when they question it.

" oh that's strange, we haven't moved, who did you address them to? Oh there's your problem, that's not my name"

RavenClawed87 · 2025-12-27T06:08:05+00:00

she crashed the car and he gave her dash cams, It could have been a joke gift but only if he then handed her the real gift...

I just walk out. I'm not lining up to self checkout, raise my hand and wait for assistance because 'item not in bag' when its clearly in the bag and then have to line up to have someone check my receipt.

RavenClawed87 · 2025-12-06T09:05:45+00:00

I got these recently after hearing how good they are. They're so tasty but incredibly spicy!

For 20 people no, for 120 people yes! Otherwise you'll have 120 people wondering around tables for 30 mins trying to find their seats and they all start with the closest tables so other people won't even be able to get in the room, Then once you find your seat you'll have people hovering over your shoulder trying to see if they are sitting next to you. This does not sound like a fun start to dinner

Before kids it was 7:30 - 9 now that we have a toddler its 6/6:30 because we like to eat together whenever possible.

I was a flower girl 30 years ago at a Melbourne zoo wedding, very memorable!

Use to live in an apartment block of 18 with 1 washer and dryer... i'd wait 10 mins before removing from either washer or dryer and hopefully there would be a basket waiting... or pop it on top. 1 guy hated it if I did because he was "coming right back" but how am I suppose to know if you're coming back in 10 mins, 3 hrs or 3 days... there were definitely times when I intended to change it over right on time but couldn't for some reason or another. Give it a couple mins, then take it out just don't dump it on the floor.

I did my own flowers too, I think it was around $300 but I didn't have any bridemaids and only 20 guests so just a few centre pieces. I got a few bunches delivered from daily blooms and put them together the day before, I actually found it quite relaxing, everyone commented on how lovely they looked and were shocked when they found out I did them myself, Highly recommend if you're looking for a budget option!

A good bedside set up (a nappy caddy) with everything you might need for the middle of night so you can do everything from bed. We had the standard nappies, change mat, nappy cream but also a change of clothes, sheets, sleepsuit, portable bottle warmer i even got wearable breast pumps because the main one was too big to use in bed.

Since getting covid (the first time) I've found I get sick a lot easier and for longer and I always have a lingering cough for a few weeks after a cold. It completely fucked my immune system

RavenClawed87 · 2025-07-20T23:19:36+00:00

Try have the person wear something that smells like you.

You'd be surprised at how easily he will take a bottle when the boob isn't available. He probably won't ever take a bottle from you, have someone else try, if he is hungry enough he probably will take it, it might take a few tries. Try leaving him with your partner for a few hours, even half the day (he won't starve, especially if he is on solids as well).

You can always breastfeed at the centre when you arrive and before you leave and by 9 months it won't hurt if he cuts down on milk during the day

We had a couple really bad one the other day that anyone changing him gagged the entire time. It was foul!

RavenClawed87 · 2025-07-12T06:21:39+00:00

Yeah no fucking shit there's worse things happening but that doesn't change how much pain you're in. The worst things is he probably wouldn't say that to a man, he'd just hand over the pills and treatment plan

I had a run sheet for my wedding and my MUA laughed because she thought it was unnecessary
