Blue Bird — Reviews, Complaints and Ratings

The story of MissNowMrs started at a Hawaiian luau party in Bethesda. I met my future husband, a super cute guy wearing a blue polo shirt and grass skirt… and our love story began. Little did I know that by attending that party I would end up becoming an accidental entrepreneur and married name change expert! In 2005 we got married and I decided to take a day off of work to change my maiden name to Tate. So, I did some internet research, completed all of the name change forms, and map quested directions to each of the government offices I needed to visit (yes, these were the days before GPS and Waze.) Initially, I felt organized and completely capable of handling the switch to Mrs. It turns out, I was very wrong. It took three trips to get my new married name on my driver’s license. Ugh! One form was outdated, then I had my marriage certificate but not a certified marriage certificate. So, instead of knocking out my name change in 6 hours I came home empty handed, having wasted a vacation day and was fuming. I stormed into the house and told my husband, “There should be some sort of service that makes name change easy.” Being a brilliant man, he looked at me and said, “You should do that.” Those four words combined with my name change mishaps sparked the idea for MissNowMrs. Suddenly, I became a woman entrepreneur in tech, waaaay before that was a cool thing to do. The company was founded when I was 25, so I ended up growing up with my startup. Thirteen years later, having built a multi-million dollar company, become a mother, authored a book to help other women turn their ideas into successful businesses, and launched an app; I still love what I do.
