When the pandemic forced the cancelation of many celebrations, some families shared their well-wishes via yard signs. Whether for graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, or weddings the signs were a prominent way to create a festive mood, safely from outdoors.
It’s a practice that I hope continues.
Having a public acknowledgment of a significant event lends itself to community celebration. Neighbors can comment on the milestone. Strangers honk as they pass by. Even if you don’t personally contribute to the well-wishes, it brings a momentary smile when you see that something delightful is happening near you.
Think about how you can capitalize on the yard sign trend to promote events in your organization, recognize your star employees, celebrate a milestone achievement, or simply declare a message of joy. We need all the signs of hope that we can get.
