Looking for a unique surprise for a special event? Celebrate with a personalized lawn message. Surprise someone with a waste-free sign instead of a card! We create large letters for any occasion—all ages. Our signs are handmade, colorful, artistic, festive, and weather proof. We also offer large lawn “candles” and other decorative elements, depending on the occasion.

Choose the celebration date and let us do the rest. A no-contact social distance business, brought to you by a local Portland mother-daughter duo. We create, deliver, set up, and pick up. We are affordable and easy to work with.

Our business was created during the COVID-19 pandemic in response to the limitation of face-to-face gatherings and celebrations—bringing joy and fun in lieu of traditional parties. Passerbys like to cheer and offer greetings as they drive or walk by your yard. A percentage of proceeds are donated to Portland Homeless Family Solutions COVID-19 Response Fund or Don’t Shoot PDX (an organization working on behalf of Black Lives Matter).

Bring joy to someone special by ordering Lawn Party NW signs. Let us help make your celebration special and unique.
