However, bare in mind that DIY moves are not necessarily the cheaper option! In fact, if not planned thoroughly, a DIY move can be more expensive than expected.

Declutter before moving in with your spouse

After you get married you will combine all your assets and as a result, you will have twice the amount of household goods you should deal with. The more items you have, the more complicated and expensive your move will be – is a rule of thumb when it comes to moving house.

– Go through your belongings, make an inventory list and compare it to your partner’s. Chances are that both of you have more items than you realize, so you should decide what to keep and what to leave behind. Also, don’t forget the wedding gifts you should also make room for.

– Since moving is a huge investment, selling your duplicate possessions can get you some extra money that can cover at least one part of the moving costs. Remember that the size of the moving truck you rent is based on the size of your home and items that you are moving with you. Also, professional movers will charge you less for packing and moving fewer possessions.

– Keep your new home as clutter-free as possible. If there are items you simply cannot let go of, although you are not using them frequently, put them into storage and ensure an easy access whenever you need them.

– Keep delicate wedding gifts in their original packaging, since it will provide the best protection during the move.

– Be ready to make some compromises now that you are about to share the living space with your spouse. Talk about your needs, habits, lifestyles as well as about what your non-negotiables are. It’s extremely important to maintain an open communication and be honest with your spouse even when it comes to discussing some less important issues.

And most importantly, stay positive and optimistic throughout the moving process. Consider throwing a housewarming party once you settle into your family home in order to celebrate the new beginning.
