Yes I remember chatting to you about past travels and future plans! Glad to hear you're considering this - Slovenia is lovely.
We followed Seat61 itinerary: 05:40 London - Paris, 15:55 Paris - Munich, 23:20 Munich - Ljubljana (arr 6am).
Eurostar - take the bikes (in bags) to EuroDespatch in St. Pancras 24hr before.
France - you will be boarding an empty train, take them to upstairs to the fairly generous luggage storage area - there are places where 2 Evocs fit perfectly
Night train from Munich - Ljubljana is operated by Austrian ÖBB (oebb.at) so best booked through their website (as opposed to Bahn.de). Yeah, total PITA as platypus described. I would call them up (very helpful and perfect English) and explore other timing options to avoid the sleeper train. The website does have a filter for "traveling with bikes" and I want to trust it, but maybe talking to someone experienced could be of value.
Let me know what other details you need and I will dig up my notes!
