Planning a move is hard work, and there is a lot of preparation that goes into the process of finding a new place to live. This includes packing your belongings, finding a moving company and planning your moving budget. It's a time-consuming process that can be tedious, frustrating and overwhelming to handle. Now, imagine planning your move while you plan your wedding. It's common to deal with these two major life events at the same time. It can be tough to juggle them all at once, and it can be incredibly easy to get swept up in everything.

Planning a Move and a Wedding at the Same Time

It's important to plan the move separately from the wedding to avoid confusion and any unnecessary difficulties. Split responsibilities, ask for help and stay on top of all the paperwork and information that both processes entail. This way, when it comes time to make important decisions, you'll know exactly what to do to keep everything running as smoothly as possible.

Delegate wedding and moving responsibilities

Imagine mixing up the wedding date and the date of your move! That's not an ideal scenario for anyone, so it's a good idea to have each person focus on a different job. The most important thing to remember when planning two events as big and as important as a wedding and a move is that you should keep both processes separate from each other and dedicate an equal amount of time to each. In fact, it's best if you delegate the responsibilities of planning each aspect to different people.

For example, place your mother in charge of the florist. Then, have your significant other focus on hiring a moving company.

TIP: Make a checklist of things to get done for the move and the wedding, then split the responsibilities from there.

Divvying up responsibilities will help both get done simultaneously -- while keeping the important details of both separate will stop you from being confused. This will also lessen the burden of work and responsibilities among you and your significant other, making executing your plans for the move and wedding a lot simpler.

Ask friends for help or hire more hands

Planning a wedding and a move is surely a lot for two people to handle, so the best thing you can do is take help wherever you can get it. If you feel as if you and your significant other are not able to handle all the moving and wedding planning on your own, it is perfectly okay to hire professionals to take care of it for you.

For the wedding:

  • Your close friends and family will be happy to get involved in major life events like these, like planning a wedding
  • Delegate some responsibilities to them to alleviate pressure
  • Hire a professional wedding planner to fully take over the preparation process

For the move:

  • Focus on hiring dependable, professional, and experienced movers
  • If hiring movers is out of your budget, ask friends and family for help with packing and other moving-related jobs
  • Work with a trusted real estate agent to help you secure a new home and to handle all the important paperwork involved

Organization is key during wedding and move preparation

Here are some essential tips you should follow to maintain organization during planning and preparing:

  • Create separate email folders for your wedding vendors and your moving details
  • Keep the papers and documents in separate (clearly marked) file folders
  • Follow up on your communication with whoever is assisting you in the planning of both the wedding and the move
  • Keep a thorough record of each step of the process for future reference
  • Place all receipts in separate folders, organized by date

Although planning a wedding and a move can be overwhelming, the best way to approach both is to take everything one step at a time. With enough careful planning and preparation, both your wedding and your move will go as you envisioned.
