01

Getting Started

What is a yard greeting?

A yard greeting is a personalized outdoor display made from oversized letters, numbers, graphics, and accessories placed in a customer's yard to celebrate birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, retirements, baby showers, holidays, and other special occasions.

What comes in a starter kit?

Starter kits include the essential letters, numbers, stakes, and accessories needed to begin creating professional yard greetings. They're perfect for new businesses and anyone looking to build a complete inventory quickly.

Do yard letters come pre-assembled?

Most of our yard letters require some simple assembly (sliding a stake into place). If you'd rather skip that step, our EZ Sets need much less setup and can be used indoors as well as outdoors.

Which starter kit should I buy?

The best starter kit depends on the types of events you plan to serve. Businesses expecting birthdays, graduations, and school events should choose a complete alphabet starter package with accessories.

What occasions do you offer?

We carry products for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, baby showers, retirements, holidays, school events, and much more.

02

Letters & Kits

Can I buy individual letters?

Yes! Individual letters are available so you can replace lost pieces, expand your inventory, or spell custom names and phrases without purchasing another complete alphabet set.

What's the difference between alphabet sets and individual letters?

Alphabet sets include a full collection of letters (and often numbers) for creating complete greetings. Individual letters allow you to purchase only the characters you need.

What are letter sets & packs?

Letter sets contain commonly used letters and combinations that help expand your inventory without purchasing another full alphabet.

Can I order custom words?

Absolutely. We offer custom words for names, schools, businesses, and special events.

What sizes do your yard letters come in?

Most collections are available in multiple sizes, including 18-inch and 22.75-inch options, depending on the font and product. Need something outside those two? Just reach out and we can create a custom size on request.

Can I customize my own message?

Yes! Build your own greeting by selecting individual letters, numbers, and accessories to create nearly any message.

Can I match colors to my existing set?

Yes, we can match colors to an existing set. Since color can vary slightly between print runs, we'll need the PMS color codes from your original order to guarantee an exact match. Reach out to our team and we'll help track it down.

03

Accessories & Supplies

Which stakes should I buy?

We offer several stake options depending on the type of display you're creating and the ground conditions. For precise placement and a consistent, level look every time, we recommend our EZ Stakes. Their dog-leg design holds signs at an even height and prevents slipping.

What accessories should every yard card business own?

We recommend keeping extra stakes, fillers, balloons, carrying cases, pathway markers, and replacement letters on hand.

What are EZ Fillers?

EZ Fillers help fill empty spaces in displays and create fuller, more professional-looking yard greetings.

04

Business Resources

How much does it cost to start a yard card business?

Many businesses begin with a starter kit and gradually expand their inventory. The investment depends on how many occasions and themes you want to offer.

Do you offer business resources?

Yes. We provide business resources to help new and existing rental companies grow, including marketing tools and starter packages.

05

Ordering & Shipping

How quickly do you ship?

Many products ship within 1–3 business days. Some custom products may require additional production time.

Do you offer rush shipping?

Yes. Rush production and expedited shipping are available on many products.

Do you offer free shipping?

Many yard card supplies and accessories qualify for free shipping. Product pages will indicate eligibility.

Can I reorder letters later?

Absolutely. You never have to purchase another complete starter kit if you simply need additional letters or accessories.

06

Storage & Care

How should I store my yard letters?

Store letters flat in a clean, dry location. We recommend keeping them in a dedicated carrying case. It keeps your alphabet organized by letter, protects the edges from cracking in transit, and makes loading up for an install much faster.

Can yard letters stay outside?

Yes. Our corrugated plastic yard letters are designed for outdoor use and can withstand normal weather conditions.

What if a letter is damaged?

We'll replace any letter damaged in shipping. Wear from normal weather exposure over time isn't covered, but you never need to buy a full new set. Individual letters are available anytime to replace just the pieces you need.

How long do yard letters last?

With normal use and proper care, corrugated plastic yard letters typically last for multiple seasons of repeated installs. Storing them flat in a carrying case between events, rather than leaving them stacked outside or in direct sun, is the single biggest factor in how long a set lasts.

How do I clean yard letters?

Simply wipe them clean with mild soap and water before storing.
