Activity for MrsMcDougall

Got home from an amazing weekend with some of my bridal party and other close friends last night. My maid of honor rented an amazing house on Lake Chelan, about a 3 hour drive away from Seattle. We had a total of 7 girls with us for the weekend....

I'm so excited for this weekend! I'm laying in bed wide awake since 5 am because I can't wait to get this weekend started. Two of my bridesmaids are asleep in the other room, after flying in from DC & Calgary last night. One more girl is flying in...

Not really asking anything, just need to get this off my chest to people that can relate. I've mentioned before that we've had several staffing changes that caused us concern with both our venue & our event designer/florist. We've tried to assume the...

A couple of days ago I was telling my FH how I always almost ask Alexa (Amazon Echo) to turn on the TV because we have it set up to turn on our living room lights via voice command. Just now, he texts me and tells me to turn the tv off (I work from...

Apparently today is WTF Wednesday but like x10 at my office. My boss' brand new car got backed into THREE TIMES by a tow truck, I'm getting absolutely crap from vendors that they want me to publish, and my bff has to deal with just complete idiots....

I think I posted this in a thread at one point, but my client has a giant event that is happening 2 days before my wedding. I was stressing so bad when the date was announced because my boss said I might not be able to get time off before the...

My 12 year old niece is going to be a Jr bridesmaid in my wedding & i'm having a really hard time finding a dress that I think is appropriate for her that matches the other bridesmaids. The bridesmaids will be in floor length gold dresses of their...

I have all the Rehearsal Dinner questions lately! I'm thinking of doing a make-your-own taco bar for the rehearsal dinner, since FH and I love Mexican food & I think it would allow flexibility for all of the dietary restrictions we have amongst the...

I know a few Seattle, Vancouver, Western Washington ladies had talked about possibly having a social, so I'd like to go ahead and offer to be the host for it! Ladies, if you're interested, comment letting me know & any time restrictions you have. I...

We're at the stage where we need to start planning the rehearsal dinner & I'm trying to figure out who I need to invite. I know everyone that will be at the rehearsal & their significant others, but what the following: - Parents & siblings of flower...

Just got one more thing checked off the list! We ordered 10 dozen doughnuts as part of our desserts in a mixture of custom doughnuts with our colors & their regular variety. Those, plus 10 dozen cupcakes we ordered on a steep discount last summer & a...

Some of you may remember that I vented about the executive chef leaving my venue back in August, with little to no recourse. Well now, in about 2 months, I've lost two different sales managers. The original one that we signed the contract with and...
