Key takeaways
- Start with what you use least and pack daily dishes last.
- Wrap every plate and glass on its own and stand plates on their edges.
- Use dish packs with dividers for stemware and cups.
- Label the box with the room and write fragile on every side.
The kitchen is where most broken things come from, and where most time goes.
Start with the extras
Pack the wedding china, the serving platters and the seasonal items first. Keep a set of dishes and a pan out until the last day.
Wrap and stand
Wrap each plate in packing paper and stand plates on their edges, as if they were records. Glasses go in dividers or wrapped in extra paper.
Heavy at the bottom
Pots and heavy items go at the bottom of the box, light items on top. Fill gaps with crumpled paper so nothing shifts.
Label clearly
Write fragile, the room and the contents on the side of the box, not the top.
