About

Hello and Welcome!

We’re Mary Rachel and Matt Connelly

We’re absolutely thrilled to introduce Palmetto Storks, a stork sign rental service, to the Florence area! As parents of two little ones ourselves and surrounded by friends and family expanding their own families, we understand the joy that comes with welcoming a new baby. When our own children were born, we found a gap in local options for these beautiful and personalized signs, inspiring us to venture into this heartwarming business. 

The decision to start this venture was fueled by our love for stork rentals, and we knew it would be a perfect fit for our community. Mary Rachel, with her role as a high-risk pregnancy nurse practitioner, holds a deep appreciation for the miracle of new life. We firmly believe that each child is a cause for celebration, and what better way to express a warm “Welcome Home!” than with these charming storks!

Our hope is to expand our business beyond birth announcements to include other joyous occasions in the future! We are looking forward to sharing in the excitement of your celebrations.

Picture Perfect Memories!

Our main attraction is the 6-foot tall personalized birth announcement stork sign! It is designed to help celebrate your newest addition being born. Not only is it a precious decoration for your yard, but it can serve as a backdrop to your first official family photos. These eye-catching storks can showcase your new bundle of joy to your friends and family!

The stork bundle made just for your newborn will be a keepsake you will treasure forever. Your little ones will grow up in the blink of an eye, so let us help you make your birth announcement unforgettable. 

Include the Whole Family!

Siblings and other family members can join in the excitement.

We offer personalized sibling stars to include any big brothers or sisters in the celebration! These fun stars are the perfect display for your growing family. Each child can keep their star to remember when they welcomed their little sibling home! 

The stars are not just for siblings either! Grandparents or other friends and family can get in on the fun. We can truly individualize these stars to have any message you want. For those thinking of gifting a stork to new parents, consider using a message star to leave a love note with your stork! Examples include “We love you!  Nene and Pop” or “Welcome home!  Love, your friends”. The possibilities are endless!
