Our firm cut-off for next day delivery of any sign is 4:00 p.m. the day before. If you’d like to have a stork sign in the yard before the new parents / baby arrive home, we must have all the necessary info and payment no later than 4:00 p.m. the afternoon before they are to be discharged. An earlier notice is always appreciated and gives you a better chance for delivery at the time you'd like.

WHERE WILL YOU PLACE THE SIGN IN THE YARD?
We use our best judgment regarding sign placement to ensure optimal visibility and a pleasing backdrop for photographs. If there is a specific spot you would like for the sign to be placed, please notify us when you place your order and we will do our best to accommodate your request. We cannot guarantee exact placement of the sign if you are not at home when we deliver the sign and/or if you have not marked the location in the yard with a clearly visible marker.
MAY I MOW AROUND OR ATTACHED ANYTHING TO THE YARD SIGNS?
Please do not move and/or remove the yard sign as damage can occur. If you want the sign picked up early, please call us at 225-288-7570 and we will do so.
Please keep all lawn equipment away from the signs. Weed eaters and mowers damage the signs if contact is made with the sign.
Please do not attach anything to the sign, including balloons. When a balloon pops the sun bakes the latex into the sign causing permanent damage.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE YARD SIGN IS DAMAGED?
If you notice any damage on the sign please notify Baton Rouge Stork & Birthday Signs immediately at 225-288-7570. Our signs are durable, weather-resistant and designed to last. However, the signs are not designed for climbing. We are not responsible or liable for any and all injuries involving the sign while on the property. Homeowner is responsible for keeping all lawn equipment away from the signs.
