1. Love it or List it

If you are planning to move into a new house after your wedding, it's important to get your household in order before your nuptial preparations take over.

Each of you should make a moving checklist with all your furniture, major appliances, kitchen/dining wares, and other household goods. Figure out what items you have in common and move onto our next step.

 

2. Merge and Consolidate

Consider this a test of how your marriage will work when it comes to compromise. Once you have both listed your household assets and figured out what you have in common, it's time to merge and consolidate.

Choose:

  • Furniture that goes better with the colour scheme in your new living space
  • Which TV or appliance works better and/or is newer
  • Artwork you both enjoy
  • What items fit the measurements of your new home
  • Whose music collection is better (OK you may want to merge that one)

Be honest with yourself and your partner by making sure you are both happy with your decisions. It's also OK to hold onto those things that you wish to keep for yourself such as books and mementoes that hold special meaning.

 

3. Store for Tomorrow

Once you have chosen which household items you'll merge, and which you wish to give away or sell, it helps to rent a self-storage unit when you start to clear everything out. One of the biggest complaints between couples is when things start to pile up, and that is especially true of material items. By keeping things organized as well as neat and tidy, it will cause less stress, as you get ready for your big day.

A secure storage space can also be used to store away any of your wedding finds and supplies.

 

4. Save for Something New

While it's important to slim down your inventory to prepare for a new home, you'll also want to think about the future. Make a wish list of things what you will need down the road. This is also a great way to think about those items you can place on your wedding registry. Next, save some room in your storage locker for after the wedding. You'll need the space for those larger gifts, and it will help to have everything together when it comes to moving into your new home.
