My brother and brother-in-law did it the right way, they had everything boxed up and ready to go. They furnished the truck, gloves, dollies, drinks, food and had everything boxed and all boxes labeled since we packed, moved, unpacked and moved them into their new places the same day. Being unorganized is your own business, but when you invite others to help, you had better not waste their time/effort.

My thoughts exactly. I helped a friend move across town a few years ago. Nothing was packed, nothing was organized. About six more people than necessary had been invited. We probably took 2-3 extra trips with the moving truck because of the disorganization.
When we bought our house, we invited one other couple to help us move. They showed up to everything already packed in boxes and labelled. Their job was to move stuff from location A to location B. No packing, no unpacking, no organizing, no decorating, just moving stuff. It took two hours. We did have them help place heavy furniture, but otherwise it "put the boxes labelled 'kitchen' in the kitchen.
