Moving can be a friendly experience

If you are a part of a frugal family or community of friends, then moving can be a rewarding experience. Here is a great idea for hosting a moving party. Make it a weekend long experience and have a ball!
- We all have girlfriends that we love who have cool stuff. So remember that when you are moving and offer to have a room full of freebies. That way you don’t have to pack what you don’t want to pack.
- Get plenty of boxes and divide your friends into rooms. Make a game of packing and offer prizes that you know your girlfriends would like for first, second, and third place in finishing.
- Offer a delicious pizza dinner at the end of the day with a baby sitter there so that you can relax one last time with your girlfriends before you leave.
- Whatever your girlfriends don’t want to take out of the freebie room, pack up and take to the goodwill or have a yard sale. Don’t look back. Just purge!
- And my favorite part of a moving party – if you are invited to one, offer to have a babysitter for the kids at your house. That way you don’t have the kiddos running around for a short time and you ladies can get a ton more done!
Nobody likes to move. Especially when you are leaving your friends. I also don’t know anyone who likes to pack. But I do know a lot of girlfriends who like to be helpful and hang out before losing a dear friend. So offer the idea of a moving party for the girlfriends and enjoy one last hoorah before she goes.
