FAQ
Do I need to have a lawn for the stork signs?
We want to make sure that your stork sign is displayed in the perfect spot, so we install signs on traditional residential lawns. To make sure the sign is securely installed, we need a wide expanse of unobstructed soil with grass on top. Unfortunately, we cannot install signs in rocks, pea gravel, concrete, mulch, flower beds, raised beds, garden pots, thick landscaping, or hard-packed soil that has been used as a driveway. We also can’t put the sign in front of any public utility boxes, water mains, or other structures owned by the city, county, or state. We want to avoid any fines or damage to our signs, so we can’t impede access to these areas.
We can create just the personalized bundle for you if you do not have a yard. These are perfect for nursery or hospital doors to announce your new baby. They are also great for those without a yard space!
For indoor events, you can request an indoor stand for the stork sign.
How early should I reserve a stork?
We love celebrating new life with you! Please call us for a birth announcement stork sign as soon as the baby is born, and we’ll do our best to get the sign up before you come home from the hospital. We strive to deliver your sign within 24-48 hours of placing an order. You can contact us by phone or email whenever you’re ready to order! Once you’ve submitted an order form, we’ll give you a call to confirm the details and arrange payment. If you haven’t heard back from us, don’t hesitate to reach out at (608) 279-4476. We’re available from 8 AM to 8 PM to answer any questions you may have.
You can reserve a stork sign for baby shower or sip and see events in advance.

Under what circumstances do you cancel an order?

What is your refund policy?
In the event that you need to cancel your rental, we’ll issue you a full refund as long as you cancel at least 24 hours in advance or if extreme weather conditions prevent us from setting up your sign. However, we won’t be able to issue a refund if we can’t access a gated community due to a lack of gate code or entry permission from the security guard, if a homeowner or recipient doesn’t allow us to set up the sign or requests early pickup, if we encounter threatening animals on the property, or if the location doesn’t have a traditional lawn.
We understand that there may be unforeseen circumstances, but we kindly ask that you make sure all access arrangements are taken care of before delivery to ensure that we can provide the best service possible.

Where will you install the new baby sign in the yard?
We love making sure our stork signs are visible and make for great photo opportunities! Our goal is to stake the sign in the front yard where it can easily be seen from the road. However, we also want to make sure that the sign is placed in a spot that you’re happy with, so please let us know if you have a specific place in mind before we arrive. We’ll do our very best to accommodate your request!
