8-Week Moving Checklist for Casper & Natrona County

A realistic 8-week timeline for planning a stress-free move in Casper, Mills, Bar Nunn, and surrounding Natrona County — packing, utilities, schools, and moving day.

A great move rarely happens by accident. This week-by-week checklist is what our Casper crews wish every family had — realistic, local, and free.

8 weeks out — plan and organize

  • Inventory every room and start decluttering
  • Request quotes from 2–3 Wyoming movers
  • Set a budget with a 10–15% cushion
  • Start a moving binder or shared note

6 weeks out — schedule and notify

  • Book your moving date
  • Notify your child's school in Casper or Natrona County SD
  • Start using up frozen food
  • Order specialty packing materials

4 weeks out — utilities & address

  • Schedule utility disconnect/connect (see our Casper Utilities resource)
  • File USPS change of address
  • Update driver license & vehicle registration
  • Confirm parking/access at both addresses

2 weeks out — pack non-essentials

  • Pack out-of-season items, books, decor
  • Label every box with room + contents
  • Refill prescriptions
  • Confirm crew size and moving-day timing with Crosstown Movers

1 week out — finalize

  • Pack a 'first-night' bag for each person
  • Empty & defrost the freezer
  • Withdraw small cash for tips (optional but appreciated)
  • Take utility meter photos on move-out day

Moving day

  • Be present for walk-through with the crew
  • Keep phone charger + water accessible
  • Do a final empty-house walk before locking up
  • Sign paperwork after items are placed

First week in your new Casper home

Unpack the kitchen first, then bedrooms. Meet 2 neighbors. Locate the nearest urgent care, grocery, and gas station. Welcome home.
