Its the big day. You're finally out on your own and you are moving out. Many of us who find ourselves in this situation have a lot on our minds. The last thing we are thinking about is hiring movers. We usually recruit friends and family to lend a hand during this endeavor. Anyone utilizing friends and family as a movers work force should tread softly. There are going to be a few snags in the road. Realistically no move goes off perfectly without a hitch.

On a positive note if your friends and family are willing to help and you should be very appreciative. You are going to have to find a way to get their services without taking advantage of them and in the end be completely thankful. You can throw a housewarming party (or house leaving party) and invite all your pals who helped you during the move. A party in their honor is a great way to show appreciation. You don't want to burn any bridges or aggravate your family and friends by completely shunning them after they have helped you move.

Always plan ahead and pack all your items early for the move. A great way to save time is to create a checklist of all your items and the jobs assigned to your friends and family. Keep things simple and light hearted, you don't want to turn your family and friends against you.

Obviously you and your help will spend most of the move loading and unloading boxes to and from the truck, van, or whatever vehicle you have secured. Make sure that you pack your boxes ahead of time. If not your going to waste a lot of time packing boxes while your family and friends just wait around doing nothing (if this happens you might see that certain people will just up and leave and that's the last thing you want). Prepare the boxes early and the move will go a lot easier for everyone.

With a great attack plan for moving day you'll be integrated to your new home in no time. Also your friends wont feel like they are being taken for granted by helping you out. At the end of the day youll save some money on movers (which usually is quite affordable in the first place). Not to mention you will create a stronger bond with your friends and family.
