The best way to handle the stress of moving home is by turning this boring and time-consuming task into something fun and interesting. One of the latest trends among people planning a relocation is known as a packing party. Once you learn more about it, you will be tempted to throw one yourself because it will enable you to:
- Quickly breeze through the packing process
- Say proper goodbye to your friends
- Make your move more memorable and different
- Combine the practical with the entertaining
This idea is especially suitable for those who are about to relocate to a different country or to a new city. So, if you fall into that group of people, you simply must hold a packing party.
A farewell party with a twist
Think of packing parties as a farewell party but with a more practical twist. You invite your good friends, neighbours or relatives to give you a hand for this task. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is more relaxed and there are also drinks and snacks. These events involve both packing and chatting and, if you feel like it, you can even organise some party games. It is all up to you!
Why host a packing party?
If you are moving to a different city such as Leeds, for instance, you will not only need to rely on trusted removals from London to Leeds but you will also need to throw a farewell party for your nearest and dearest of people. But imagine that you are pressed by time and you really need to wrap your relocation as quickly as possible. The solution here is quite obvious – a packing party. By planning such an event, you will get to kill two birds with one stone. Ingenious, right!
How to organise such an event?
We know that we said that the general atmosphere of a packing party should be relaxed and laidback. Yet again there are several rather strict rules to which you should stick.
The decluttering process is entirely your responsibility
Do not make your party guests go through your old junk and to help you declutter. This is something that you should take care of alone. That is because your friends are not your slaves and also because you are the only person in the world who can decide which of your items you want to keep, donate or throw away.
Send out some invites
Don’t just message your mates to come over to your place. Send them special invitations in advance and let them decide whether they would like to be part of it.
Have the packing materials ready
On the day of the big event, make sure you have all the necessary packing supplies. Arrange them on a large table to make the packing process easier and quicker. Don’t be afraid to assign specific tasks to your friends.
Don’t forget that this is a party
Play some nice music in the background, serve beverages and snacks. This should be a fun experience for everyone involved in it.
The great thing about this kind of parties is that you do not need to be moving to the other side of the world to host one such event. Even if you are planning to use quality removals in Newbury Park IG2 you can ask the movers to leave the packing to you and your friends.
