We cannot place a sign in front of public utility boxes, water mains or any other structure owned by the city, parish or state. We cannot impede access to those areas or we could be fined and / or have our signs damaged or destroyed when they are moved by the city / parish / state.

Stork Signs:  Advanced booking is best and we can reserve your stork with payment. We will take any information you have ahead of time. Please call as soon as the baby is born, and we will get the rest of the information and a date they are expected to be home.  We strive to install stork signs within 24-hours of your call, but it is not guaranteed. Our cut-off for next day delivery is 4:00 p.m. the day before.

Birthday Signs:  To have the best chance of booking your favorite birthday or flamingo sign, please call to order as soon as possible.  Payment is required at the time you place the order to secure the reservation.

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.

If a grandparents sign is ordered at the same time as the sign for the new parents, the discounted rental price for a grandparent sign is $75/week. The bundle will state 'Proud grandparents of Baby's name + the birthdate."  Please note: The delivery address for the grandparents sign must be in an area we serve.

We offer storks for baby showers for $75* for one or two days.  The bundle will be personalized for the event. Ask about our Baby Shower/Baby Arrival Packages.

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.

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.

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.
