Moving Tips for Newlyweds

Monday, April 13th, 2009

After all of the fun of wedding planning, celebrating and honeymooning, many newlyweds face the daunting task of moving in together. This means consolidating all of your stuff, weeding out duplicate items and compromising on a design aesthetic that will suit you both.

As if that weren’t difficult enough, you also have to deal with the logistics of changing your address, co-signing your lease and dozens of other details that you might not expect.

To help ease your stress, here’s a few moving tips for newlyweds that we’ve gathered from around the web:

Make Your Move More Fun!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

I once heard that nearly a sixth of the American population moves every year. In my opinion, at least half of that statistic involves newlyweds moving in together! It almost seems like a cruel trick–you persevere through all the stress of wedding planning, escape together on your blissful honeymoon and then abruptly return to the hectic atmosphere of moving, redecorating and trying to get into the swing of a new schedule as a married couple.

But, instead of scrambling to reconnect with friends, establish your new home and tie up loose real estate ends, why not combine all of the tedious work you have to do into one fun and festive moving party? Multitask by turning your moving announcements into moving party invitations as well, and then invite all of your friends over to help you relocate to your new home.

Then, you can make the entire event an homage to your move. Playing this moving-inspired playlist from Making Your Move, serve whatever food is left in your fridge and make party games out of packing. See who can bubble wrap your lamps fastest, or have a dolly race to the moving truck.

You could also play “Pin the Furniture on the Room” using items cut out from a home design magazine in an attempt to steal redecorating ideas from your friends. If that fails, ask them to help you with this interactive room planner from HGTV.

Your friends will certainly grumble less about helping you move if you turn the occasion into a true event!
