We have many more professional photos to show you from this incredible event but wanted give you a peek as they start to trickle in!

We also want to use these posts to thank some of our amazing sponsors and donors.

All photos in this post (other than the bookshelf of treat bags and red wagon full of candy) were shot and generously donated by the talented, Velia, of Velia Roldan Photography.

Baked goods for the sweets table were donated by Cinotti’s Bakery. They.Were.Delicious.

Printed items such as sweets labels and shower in a box labels were designed by me, Amy of Operation Shower and Stem Parties, and generously printed by Print Today in St. Louis.  Thank you, Huck and team!

The “Oprah” moment when 36 PGA TOUR volunteers walked in with a car seat for each mom was incredible and made possible by Kmart. Not only did Kmart donate the car seats but also donated almost all of the items for our moms! We can’t thank you enough!

Those “blue boxes”…Tiffany & Co donated gorgeous crystal serving pieces.  What a special treat!

Whole Foods went above and beyond in donating food for the event, gorgeous floral centerpieces for the food table as well as gift cards attached to a long stemmed rose for each mom. We love Whole Foods!

Thank you once again to our incredible invitation sponsor, TinyPrints, for our continued relationship. We treasure you!

We are so excited to have a new connection with Build A Bear. We love this fellow hometown St. Louis group and look forward to many more smiles to come with the donation of darling teddy bears.

Happy Moms? You bet! Thank you Peace Love Mom for always being such a great supporter of Operation Shower and donating your adorable tshirts. A picture IS worth a thousand words and so is a Happy Mom tshirt!

More photos and thank yous to come. Until then, carry the thoughts of Memorial Day with you every day with grateful hearts for those that have served and presently serve our country.

Operation Shower is so excited to announce our collaboration this weekend with The Magic House in St. Louis.  

This holiday weekend is such a wonderful time to take the family out and explore all The Magic House has to offer! Not only is the weekend a good time to spend with your own family, but it’s the perfect opportunity to honor those that are separated from theirs due to military deployments.  What a wonderful teaching opportunity for your children about the reason we have Memorial Day! 

The Magic House has generously partnered with us to give each visitor who donates a new baby item over Memorial Day Weekend free admission for that day.

We are specifically looking for donations of the following: board books, onesies, bibs and burp cloths. You can bring these with your or swing into the Museum gift shop and purchase them there. We’ll then take all these items and give them to some very deserving military moms-to-be!

Thank you, The Magic House for helping Operation Shower honor our military moms and families while providing lots of fun for local St. Louis families year-round!

We have so many people to thank for helping us make the recent Red, White & Coo baby shower with THE PGA TOUR and March of Dimes such a success, and we look forward to getting to each and every one.

To say that this event was “amazing” would be an understatement. We (who are a very chatty bunch of four women) truly have no words. So, until we find the words, we leave you with a wonderful video recap of the day which aired originally on “Inside The PGA TOUR” on The Golf Channel.

You can look at the smiles of the moms and see the excitement in the air and just know that all of us at Operation Shower felt that a million times over. Serving those that serve is truly an honor that we take very seriously and humbly.

We can’t wait to see what the future holds. Oprah? Ellen? Stay tuned to find out how you can help fulfill our next dream!
