FAQ
Q: Do I need to have a front yard for the stork signs?
Yes, we can set up our stork signs on traditional lawns in areas that have not been heavily landscaped. We cannot install in areas with rocks, pea gravel, concrete, mulch, flower beds, raised beds, garden pots, thick landscaping, or hard-packed soil.
If you do not have a lawn, we also provide just the bundle with the baby’s details which can be hung on apartment doors to announce a new baby.
Q: How early should I reserve a stork?
The birth of a baby is unpredictable so we do not take advance orders for birth announcement stork signs. Please give us a call as soon as the baby arrives so we can set it up before the mom and new baby arrive home.
You can reserve a stork in advance for baby showers, Sip & Sees and Gender Reveals.
Q: How much are sibling/message stars/dog bones and cat signs?
Sibling Stars/Message Stars/Cat Signs or Dog Bone Signs can be added to your order of a stork sign for $25/per sign. They are personalized and left behind at the end of the rental period.
Q: What service do you offer for twins, triplets, and quadruplets?
We offer stork signs for multiple births – we set up a separate sign for each sign. Each bundle carries the details of each baby.
Q: What is your refund policy?
We will cancel and refund your order if
- there is an extreme weather condition that prevents us from setting up the stork sign
- you cancel the order 24 hours in advance.
Q: How do I place my order? How do I pay for your service?
