Operation Shower Blog

Our “Red, White and Coo” baby shower with the PGA TOUR and the March of Dimes is fast approaching. Want a sneak peek of our adorable invitation?

Each Operation Shower baby shower is a chance to let our military families and moms-to-be know how much we appreciate their service and their sacrifice. Sure, we have such amazing product in our boxes that we could do punch, cake and doilies and have a great shower. OR we could give each shower its own theme, pay attention to every little detail and make them events to remember. Guess which one we do???

The first chance to set the stage for our showers is with our invitations. Operation Shower is so lucky and so grateful to have the support of Tiny*Prints as our official Invitation Sponsor this year.  Our relationship with Tiny*Prints started last year and we are thrilled to have them on board for our 2010 events as well! One look at the Baby Shower invitation section alone is proof that with their selection you can never run out of cute party theme ideas with style.

It’s not just baby shower high style though. From weddings to birthdays to holidays to  personal stationery – Tiny*Prints has all of your paper goods needs covered.

Thank you, Tiny*Prints. Companies and people like you make what we do possible!

Operation Shower just completed our A is for Apple, B is for Baby . . Shower !   We joined with the March of Dimes to hold an event that we will always remember.  We will write much more about it soon, but I wanted to share this amazing video from Stephanie Beaty|www.lifeographer.com.  She generously donated her time and these wonderful photographs!  I have to warn you, you may cry!

We’ve been working hard to make our upcoming event with the March of Dimes a special day for a group of deserving military moms who have babies in the NICU at the Portsmouth Naval Hospital.

We certainly haven’t been the only ones working hard though! A lot of people are on board to make this a success. There will be a lot more to come on all of the efforts of our generous donors and sponsors, but for now (while we catch our breath!) here’s a little sneak peek of the invitations.

Did we mention the design and time spent on these and the rest of our papery goodness to come were all donated by the lovely, Kim over at The TomKat Studio? Do we have the best donors or what?

We’ve been fortunate enough to have some incredible sponsors donate items for our Showers In A Box. One sponsor that goes above and beyond the call of duty is Resa Design.

Resa Design creates items for your little one that are not only practical and affordable, but they also make sure you don’t sacrifice your desire to be the hippest mom on the block. After all, Resa’s tagline IS “Your Baby. Your Style.”

Not only has Resa herself donated her adorable baby items for our boxes, but she also has a portion of her website set aside directly for gifts to Operation Shower. So many people ask how they can help, and Resa has made it so easy to give the gift of cute! Simply click here and choose one of several needed items (at 50%off retail!) that you would like to purchase as a gift to our moms-to-be!

Never has shopping been so rewarding. Okay, we’ll admit, finding the perfect pair of shoes on sale for yourself is also pretty rewarding. With the amazing prices on such cool gear for your baby you can actually still afford to treat  yourself, too. We all win! I love it when a plan comes together.
