Getting married is something many Phoenix residents dream of their whole lives. When they say “I do,” though, they often don’t think of the challenges that lie ahead. One of these challenges may be a lack of storage space. When two people merge their households due to a marriage, there’s bound to be a lack of space for everyone’s belongings. In fact, there are several reasons why a newlywed couple may find it worthwhile to invest in storage units. Keeping Wedding Gifts While almost every couple loves getting wedding gifts, sometimes it can be hard finding space for them all. If you had a large wedding, that’s hundreds of gifts that need a place inside your home. That’s a lot for a newly married couple to handle, especially if they’re leaving for their honeymoon soon after the wedding. They may decide to put everything in storage and go through the gifts at a later date. This gives the couple time to declutter the home so there’s room for all the gifts. Storing Items for a Move If the couple did not live together before they got married, then they will need to move in together after the nuptials. When two households combine, the moving process can be difficult, so many people get help from storage units. Whether one spouse is moving into the other’s existing home or the two are moving into a brand-new home, there’s bound to be an adjustment period. The couple will need time to settle in and go through all their belongings since there will likely be duplicate items or items that neither person will need in the future. You don’t want to make your new home uncomfortable because there is too much stuff in the way. Storage units can be used to store larger items or items you don’t use often so you can move them in gradually. Long-Term Storage Long-term storage is a good option for many new couples. Storage units are ideal for storing seasonal items, such as holiday decorations, sporting equipment, patio furniture, BBQs and more. They can also be used to store family heirlooms and large kitchen items that are not used often, like china and wine glasses. Sometimes couples must stay in an apartment or smaller home until they can save up enough money to upgrade their living spaces, so long-term storage is a good solution, even if the move won’t happen for several years.
