These shoes were made for *walking your voter-eligible butt to the polls and exercising your right to choose the fate of the next four years of this country* 🇺🇸 Does that sound dramatic? Because that’s how I’m feeling. Thankful I was able to vote in-person almost a month ago, with the nicest volunteers that could possibly exists! Thank your poll workers for their VOLUNTARY service to us and their country- even though some are compensated for their time tomorrow, they have chosen to serve us in the most uncertain times. Add them to the list of unsung heroes of 2020 IMO 🙌🏼

First 🐝 Day but make it virtual 📲 Your milestones are still happening, even if they look a little different. What was originally going to be a backyard blowout with , first shifted to a small guest list and socially distanced. Then rerouted to split parties and a video call to keep everyone safe and included. Throw in a and custom backdrop and we’re talking Queen Bee people! 👑 Seriously, order the food and frills, set up the camera, and keep on keeping on in these crazy times! Life isn’t slowing down but at least we can make the best of it ✨

We can’t pass up this national day... meet the 4-legged faces behind In Cahoots! Georgie and Maggie most likely have voiced their opinions on your design board, tried a bit of your plated dinner options, and took on the roles of sleeping on the job. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Your furry friends are always welcomed and snuggled over here! Who else works alongside a judgmental, hairy supervisor? 🐾

20/08/2020

Cheers to baby Friday and 600 followers 🥂 Maggie and Lauren, Lor and Mag, just over here constantly talking about how we miss things and also how much of a genius Taylor Swift is 🤷🏼‍♀️
Any other content creators out there struggling with social media right now? This is a tough season of life, there is so much behind the scenes work going on to keep event dreams alive, but without the beautiful finished product right now to show for it. We’re counting the days until we’re all buzzing around again, so until then, yes to all the micro weddings, small dinner parties, and intimate events 💯

Rainy day suggestion? Grab a magazine + your favorite couch blanket and snuggle up with some inspiration! Anyone else total a lover? 💌

Outdoor brunch but make it 💯 Dining Al Fresco is always made better with a gorgeous tablescape and some bubbly. Cue .llc and this amazing piece for one of our bride-to-be’s! 🌿 Thank you to for letting us take over and for your team’s impeccable service through these crazy times!

95° and sunshine is setting our Monday Mood ☀️ Outdoor dining is at its prime on summer evenings. The days are long, the summer produce is abundant, and the reasons to dine al fresco are endless! Designing the perfect summer tablescape is what we love best, whether it’s your outdoor reception for 100 or your dinner party for 10. There’s always a reason to gather or celebrate, so why not do it around a perfectly curated table? Until then, we’ll enjoy some bubbly outside by the pool 🥂

Let’s get real for a second. This time last year, I was picking the date for this gorgeous sunrise engagement session. Currently, I’m staring at a page of four contingency options for the wedding day in October. And I can’t look at it objectively because holla, it’s my own wedding 👋🏼 I am just here to tell you all that none of this is ideal, it’s not fun, and it’s pretty confusing... But damn do we have a lot to be grateful for. Our health. Our love. Our flexible and gracious vendors. Our communities making the tough choices to keep us safe. Our friendors keeping us sane. Our variety of options. All of it! So please, if you needed to hear this because you can relate as a 2020 couple, a small business owner, or just someone who is a fellow passenger on the struggle bus, I’m going to spare you of the cutesy motivational quote and just tell you that you’re doing the best you can and we see you. 🤍

As creatives, we’re constantly drawing inspiration from the people, places, and things around us! Our brains are always on the move for the next amazing programming element, the personal touch everyone will notice, or what theme the next dinner party should feature. We’re so excited to capture that endless flow of creativity with our series! A weekly posting to highlight whatever mood we’re in from Taco Night inspiration to Office Decor vibes. A sweet little spot for us to share photos we’ve been inspired by or loved experiencing.

This time last year, we were pulling out all the stops for a corporate blowout, including a silent disco 🎧 This summer, we’re FaceTiming all the time and putting our management and creative skills to the test with reschedules and pivots. No ones industry is immune and we know that. We just happen to love our jobs that are focused on gathering, connecting, and sharing. The events industry is resilient and we are proud to be among the best of the best.

There are a bunch of new faces here so it’s time for a re-introduction 👋🏼 I’m Maggie, the owner of In Cahoots Creatives!
I’m an enneagram 2-1 (Helper & Reformer), I love my rescue dog, and my favorite place in any home is the kitchen 👩🏼‍🍳 I don’t care what color wine you’re serving, I’d love to help you find a place to eat with your in-laws, and I’d prefer to always get early-bird tickets for events.
I’ve been event planning for 5 years and I’ve worked on everything from launch parties to baby showers to corporate holidays to weddings. From nonprofit events and national monuments to private gatherings on your gorgeous rooftop or backyard, I’ve been all over 💫
I’m inspired by personal details and contrasting colors at events, and my style is a timeless wardrobe with trendy accessories.
Ways to my heart: letting me bring something to your dinner party, bringing your dog to a meeting, or asking if we can share meals so we all get to try more ♥️

It’s been a wild ride so far but none of our work is done! Events are picking back up in our region, racism is still firing on all cylinders, and covid-19 doesn’t care that you miss your favorite packed bar.
•
Wear a mask, teach your grandparents and kids about all the lessons you’ve learned in the last month, and get your vendors booked for 2021. Then pour yourself a nice serving of whatever brings you the most comfort! What’s the drink for you? 🍷☕️🍸🥃

Yesterday, we had the opportunity and privilege of being a part of , a panel discussion moderated by and highlighting the voices and experiences of and . It was filled with insightful, vulnerable, and actionable conversation about the experiences of these planners not only being women in the industry, but how the color of our skin also changes our experience in the events industry and beyond. Racism is real and rampant, and it is not always easy to spot in our behaviors and privileges. Our takeaway from this discussion is that our allyship will be a verb, not a noun. We are committed actively being anti-racist and not complicit in any form of oppressive or unequal behavior. We are excited to work with people that also cherish this value, as well as maintain a diverse network of vendors, clients, and projects. Thank you ladies again for sharing space for this conversation! 💭♥️

How amazing is this transformation at ?! A true testament of what some creativity and rental vendors can bring to life! A beautiful outdoor dining experience with options for ⛈ or ☀️. All tables sanitized, screens between guests, and even a spot for a larger group looking to eat out together. Plus the food and wine selections do NOT disappoint 🍽. Man do we love ♥️ @ Alexandria, Virginia

To all our followers, friends, and fellow Instagram-wanderers, we have been quiet on this account as we've been sharing and learning on our personal accounts and in our lives. With no if's, and's, or but's- Black Lives Matter. ALL Black lives; trans, women, children, men, LQBTQIA, cis, no matter. Your voice, opinions, health, education, history, culture, rights, and all should be valued and equal, but we know they are not. Our business has no place for intolerance and I wanted to share these words to make our stance known. While we welcome all events, couples, individuals, families, and businesses with open arms, intolerance has no place here and we will not be the right partners for you if you do not share these values.

I will be posting our regular content following this post, but please know what we are doing in our lives to not just add to the voices, but show our commitment through actions:
📥 Voting in every election open- local, state, and national- here in Alexandria, VA for me. 👋🏼

📖 Reading White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo to understand ways through my life where I may have perpetuated racism or prejudice and not been aware. Doing something racist and being A Racist are different, and understanding and educating ourselves allows us to be better for our communities and country. You can always learn more, and this was a good place for us to start. My list of books, movies, articles and shows keeps growing, and if you have suggestions, send them my way! 📚

🛍 Actively supporting Black-owned small businesses. We are a women-led team and always made it a priority to shop women-owned. I never put an emphasis on supporting other minority-owned businesses and that is a fault I did not realize until recently.
•
🗓 Continuously educating ourselves and staying considerate, informed, and engaged. It would be so easy to read one book and feel like we "checked the box" but this movement will not take one day, week, or month. It will be a life-long commitment to being anti-racist. It will not always be filled with simple choices or easy actions, and we are committed to doing the work, day in and day out.
