Crib transition from bassinet - any tips for smooth move?

5 month old has outgrown bassinet. Crib is in our room. How did you transition without total disaster?

Put crib next to bed first, then nap them in crib for a week, then start night sleeps. Slow transition.
Use a sheet you've slept on in the crib - your smell is calming.
Honestly we just moved her one night and she didn't notice. YMMV.
Sleep sack in same brand/style they used in bassinet helps with continuity.
