Schedule in Advance

You can’t expect people to help if you don’t give them notice in advance. Let people know about your unpacking party at least two weeks before the date so that they can plan ahead of time. You should also provide reasonable incentives for them to help you unpack like a takeout dinner or gift cards.

Only Invite Close Friends and Family

Because these are your belongings that are going to be unpacked, you want to make sure you don’t invite anyone over that you don’t fully trust. You should only ask for the help of close family and friends when unpacking to make sure nothing goes awry.

Establish the Goal

While the point of an unpacking party is to make the process more bearable, it can easily turn into a casual get together. Establish clear goals before the unpacking party so everyone is on the same page.

Avoid Unpacking Valuables

Accidents happen – and it can be an especially uncomfortable situation if someone damages one of your valuable possessions during the unpacking process. You should do your best to avoid this by unpacking your valuables beforehand or saving them until after the party

Keep Drinking Light

While a little bit of alcohol can help the time go by a bit faster,  one or two beers can easily turn into a handful in the company of good friends. Try to be conscious of alcohol consumption to keep things from going off track or out of hand.
