Congratulations! You just got married and now you get to deal with moving all your thing to a new location. Whether you're the one moving in with your spouse or you've decided to get a brand new place for the two of you, moving can be stressful.
Of course, you can take the stress out of your residential move by hiring a professional team to help with packing, moving and unpacking. Regardless, you still need a few tips to help make the move go smoother. Here are a few great moving tips for newlyweds.
Create Your Plan in Advance
You'll be planning a wedding, combining all your things and moving all at once. This can be a very stressful time, even though it's supposed to be the best day of your life. When you have a plan, it becomes less stressful.
Book your move with professional movers ahead of time and make sure you have everything planned out. If you will be doing the packing, have things packed up before the wedding day or at least before you leave for your honeymoon.
Work Together
Married life is all about compromise, communication and working together. During the moving process, make sure you have each other's back and you'll get through it without killing each other. You can split the tasks and have one person pack the kitchen, while the other packs the living room.
Make sure you stay calm, be nice to each other and keep the disagreements to a minimum. Remember, there are far more important things than which one of you gets to keep your couch. Take breaks and joke around with your partner.
Consider the Wedding Gifts in Your Plan
As you plan for your move, as newlyweds, you want to consider the wedding gifts in your plan. If you will be moving shortly after the wedding and you will be moving to a new home together, make sure you consider the wedding gifts. You will need room in the truck for the gifts and you will need to make sure you have room in your new home.
Minimalize Before You Marry
The wedding day is fast approaching and you want to make sure things go as smooth as possible. Weddings are stressful all the way up until you meet at the altar. You don't want to add any additional stress to the day. Take the time to minimalize for the move before your wedding day.
Remember, you can have a garage sale, donate items and throw out things not in good enough condition to sell. The less you have to move, the better, as it will make it easier on the movers and on you.
Hire Professionals
While moving things yourself may seem like the best option, it's not, especially when you first get married. If there were ever a time to hire professional movers, this is the time. It may just help save your marriage from struggling right from the beginning.
Professional movers will come in and pack up everything, load it into the truck, unload it at your new destination and unpack it for you. This takes the stress out of moving and allows you to keep the honeymoon period going after your wedding day.
If you're getting married or just got married, use these tips and a professional moving company to ensure your move doesn't become overwhelming.
