CUSTOM HANDHELD GREETING SIGNS

Smile It's Sunday

Handheld sign for church parking lot & arrival teams

FROM $29

The welcome starts before anyone reaches the door — and this is the sign that starts it. Held by your parking and arrival team, it greets first-time guests while they're still in the car, turning a parking lot into a genuinely friendly first impression. Bold and high-contrast, it stays easy to read from a moving vehicle. Make it your own: choose your colors, add your logo and hashtag, and pick the shape and size your team likes best. Printed in our own shop and shipped straight to your church.

PARKING LOT & ARRIVAL TEAM

Your parking team's first hello

The Smile It's Sunday sign is a handheld sign built for church parking lot teams — because the welcome doesn't start at the front door, it starts on the road. The first thing a guest experiences is your parking lot, and a volunteer waving this sign turns that lot from logistics into hospitality before anyone gets out of the car. Bold lettering on a high-contrast background stays readable from a moving vehicle at a distance, which is exactly what an arrival-team sign has to do. It sets a first-time guest's emotional tone a full five minutes ahead of the lobby, and it's light enough to hold and wave through an entire arrival window. Order one per parking volunteer — churches that get the parking lot right tend to hear about it on connect cards.

Frequently asked

Can these signs be used outdoors in a parking lot?

Yes, for handheld use. They're ideal for parking teams in dry weather; for signs left outside permanently, pair them with our yard signs instead.

How far away can drivers read one of these signs?

With the bold, high-contrast lettering in this design, comfortably across a parking lot — enough for a driver rolling through to catch it.

What color should a parking lot sign be?

Higher-contrast combinations read best in sunlight. The customizer lets you test any background color against dark text before ordering.

How do I customize a sign?

Every design opens in our online customizer. Start from a template — pick any premade design and edit colors, logo, and hashtag — or upload your own artwork. You can also switch shape and sides before ordering.

What are the signs made of?

3/16" foam board with rounded corners — rigid enough to stand on an easel, light enough for a greeter to hold all morning.

What sizes and shapes do the signs come in?

Three shapes: Square (22" × 22") — our most popular and the most readable handheld option; Circle (22" diameter) — a softer look for lobbies and kids areas; and Rectangle (18" × 24") — the vertical option, sized to fit standard easels and frames.

Do you offer single-sided and double-sided printing?

Both. Double-sided printing adds $10 per sign and is our most popular option — worth it for handheld, parking lot, and roadside signs that get seen from both directions.

Do I need to approve a proof before printing?

No. Our customizer runs an instant print check on your design or uploaded artwork the moment you finish, so there’s no proof email to wait on — your order goes straight to production.

How fast do signs ship?

Orders ship within 2–5 business days. Our business days are Monday–Thursday, excluding holidays. Because the instant print check replaces the proof email, nothing waits on back-and-forth approval.

Can I print my own design instead?

Yes — choose “Upload Your Artwork” in the customizer and send us a PDF, JPG, or PNG. The instant print check verifies your file on the spot, no proof needed.

How it works

  1. MAKE IT YOURS

    Open this design in the customizer and make it yours — background color, design color, your logo, your hashtag. Or skip the template and upload your own artwork (PDF, JPG, or PNG).

  2. PICK SHAPE & SIDES

    Square 22" × 22", Circle 22", or Rectangle 18" × 24" — single-sided, or double-sided for +$10 so it reads coming and going.

  3. INSTANT PRINT CHECK

    Your design is verified the moment you finish. No proof emails, no waiting on approval — your order goes straight to production.

  4. PRINTED & SHIPPED TO YOU

    Your sign arrives ready for Sunday: printed on 3/16" foam board with rounded corners, ready for a greeter's hands.

How many signs does your church need?

A good rule: one sign per staffed entrance, plus a spare. A single-entrance church starts with two; most churches order four to six to cover doors, the lobby, and the parking team. Larger and multi-campus churches typically order a matched set of eight or more so every touchpoint — parking lot, doors, lobby, welcome desk — says the same thing. Every sign is customized individually, so a set can share one design or mix designs in coordinated colors.
