A day that signifies the end of an academic era. A day of celebration. Your child is graduating. Put yourself in their shoes on this momentous day. You put on that cap and gown, getting ready to head to the graduation ceremony. You\u2019ll walk up on a stage in front of your class, family, and friends. You\u2019ll be handed your well-earned diploma. You\u2019ll have an ear-to-ear smile. You\u2019ll throw that cap in the air along with your peers. It\u2019s the culmination of hard work and unrelenting effort. You have made it. You have graduated. On the way home, you\u2019ll wonder what\u2019s in store for the rest of the day. Then, as you pull up to your house, you see it. It\u2019s a big, bold message. Standing proudly in the lawn, you have received a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/congrats-grad-yard-letters\/\">CONGRATS GRAD yard letter greeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"592\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image.png 592w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting yourself in the shoes of that graduate, it has now sunk in that he\/she deserves something unique, something that shouts out to all who see it. Graduating any level of school is a really big deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Yard Letter Kit:<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you get when you order your CONGRATS GRAD <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/custom-yard-signs\/yard-letters\/congrats-grad-ready-to-ship\">yard letters<\/a> from us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Corrugated letters that spell out &#8220;congrats grad&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A one-piece coro that reads, \u201c2021\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A one-piece coro graduation cap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>28 titanium steel wire stakes that hold up your materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All the materials come in a handy, lightweight white box with a convenient carrying handle. We even include a how-to-set-up sheet for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-1.png 350w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-1-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get back to the letters for just a minute. They are, as mentioned, made out of 1\/6<sup>th<\/sup> inch-wide corrugated plastic that can handle precipitation with ease. Rain will have zero impact on your letters. They are 18 inches tall. We chose that height for two key reasons. It is the perfect height for maximizing viewability. Secondly, if corrugated plastic letters or signs are taller than 18 inches, they are susceptible to being bent by wind or even blown over by it. We tell you this because we want to do it right for you. We have sold in excess of 15 million coro yard signs, so we have the experience of knowing what works best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Yard Letter Ownership:<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"452\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-2.png 452w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-2-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So, what makes us different? When you order from us, your yard letters are yours, period. You paid for them, so why shouldn\u2019t they be yours? We don\u2019t rent them; we sell them\u2014for just $69. Our prices are lower than our competitors, and you keep the product. It\u2019s that simple. Also worth noting, we have these graduation yard letters in house, and they are ready to ship to you on the same day you order (if you do so before 4pm ET). Yes, we are different, and we\u2019re proud of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Customization and Design:<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With regard to customizing your yard letter greeting, we can do it all for you. Want to add the grad\u2019s name? Would you like to add some stars, a diploma, or other kinds of flair? We have you covered. We can make anything you want. All you have to do is call us at (800) 614-8040 and we\u2019ll create the perfect design you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"461\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-4.png 461w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-4-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As for design, it\u2019s an important element for the effectiveness of your message. We\u2019ll circle back to this in a minute. First, we\u2019ve focused this article on graduation yard letters, but we can create letters for any event, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Birthdays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weddings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anniversaries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baby showers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bachelor parties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business advertising<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s just a sampling of what we can do. If you can think of it, we can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to design now. Generally speaking, the bigger the signage, the better. But with yard letters, the 18-inch height we mentioned earlier in the article is the maximum to go with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That leads us to font and color when it comes to your yard letters and different events. These play a significant role in how successful your message is delivered. Unless you\u2019re promoting an upscale event like a wedding, you\u2019ll want to stick with an easy-to-read, recognizable font. Why? They\u2019re commonplace, and we\u2019re all used to seeing them on our computers, our cell phones, and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pop quiz\u2014which of these fonts is the easiest for you to read?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"287\" height=\"132\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6154\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We never want to assume, but we\u2019re guessing you chose C. It\u2019s in Calibri font. Most computers default to that, so it\u2019s familiar to you. Other common fonts are Helvetica, Times New Roman, and Arial. We advise you to strongly consider a discernible font.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With color, keep it simple and use no more than a couple colors. Your yard letters will get troublesome for the eye if you introduce something like five different colors. Here\u2019s an example of a fictitious restaurant sign we made up. Note how irritating it is to look at. It\u2019s completely ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-6.png\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image-6.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrast with colors is key when you choose to use more than one color. If the borders of your letters are light, the interior of the letters should be dark, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>In Closing:<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it. That\u2019s the world of custom yard letters. If you still have questions or are ready to place an order, give us a ring. We, at Good Guys Signs, are ready to help make your graduate\u2019s day special or to assist you with signage for that special event in your future.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-7.png 624w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-7-300x119.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Then, as you pull up to your house, you see it.
