Whether you are running a 5K, a festival, a fundraiser gala or a conference, event signs fall into three groups: wayfinding, registration and sponsors. Get those right and your volunteers spend less time answering "where do I go?".

Below are the signs event planners order most, a planning checklist, and how to get everything delivered before the big day.

Everything you need for your event

Wayfinding signs

Three navy directional yard signs with arrows along a sidewalk

Directional yard signs

Yard signs with big arrows are the easiest way to guide people from the street to parking, from parking to check-in, and around a course or campus. They are light, quick to place, and easy to reuse next year.

  • Corrugated plastic with optional H-stake
  • Sizes from 18 × 12 to 36 × 24 in, plus a 24 × 6 in rider
  • Double-sided so arrows read from both directions
  • Order "Parking", "Registration" and "Restrooms" as separate jobs at one bulk price

Pick a size on our yard sign printing page.

Registration and info signs

Foam board welcome sign on an easel at a ballroom event

Foam boards and poster stands

Use foam board for welcome signs, schedules, seating charts, menus and maps. It is light and made for indoor use. For a free-standing sign, the poster stand is a 60 in floor stand with a double-sided sign, so you don't need an easel.

  • 3/16 in foam board, sizes from 12 × 18 to 36 × 24 in
  • Poster stand: 60 in tall, double-sided sign included
  • Put a QR code on your schedule or course map

Sponsor and photo signs

Retractable banner stand next to a table at an indoor event

Banner stands and banner A-frames

Sponsors want to be seen. A retractable banner stand by the stage or check-in table is a simple way to thank them. Outdoors, a banner A-frame holds vinyl banners on an aluminum frame, 4 ft or 8 ft wide, on one or both sides.

  • Banner stands pack into a travel bag and set up in minutes
  • Save 5% on 2+ stands, 10% on 5+, 15% on 10+
  • Banner A-frames work well at start and finish lines

Wayfinding

Yard signs with arrows for parking, entrances, restrooms and the course.

Registration

A banner stand behind the table and a foam board with check-in steps.

Sponsors

Banner stands and banner A-frames with sponsor logos near the action.

Info

Poster stands with schedules, maps and menus.

Event sign checklist

  • Directional signs from the road to parking to the entrance
  • Registration or check-in sign people can see from a distance
  • Schedule, map or course sign near the main gathering spot
  • Sponsor signs placed where photos get taken
  • Restroom, water, first aid and exit signs
  • Welcome sign at the door
  • A plan for who sets up and picks up each sign
  • An order date about a week before the event

Tip. Leave dates off your wayfinding signs. "Parking" and "Registration" can come back next year, which stretches your sign budget.

Event sign FAQ

When should I order event signs?

Orders placed by 12pm ship the next business day. Aim for about a week before your event so there's time for shipping and a walk-through.

What's the best sign for directions?

Double-sided yard signs with large arrows on H-stakes. They are fast to place and easy to read from a car.

Can I order many different directional signs?

Yes. Add each design as its own job. There is no extra fee for multiple designs, and your bulk price is based on the total quantity.

Is foam board OK outside?

Foam board is made for indoor use. For outdoor signs, use yard signs, banner A-frames or a rigid aluminum sign.

Do you print vinyl banners?

Our banner A-frames come with printed vinyl banners. For other banners, see all signs and banners or request a custom quote.

Tell us within 14 days of delivery and we will reprint it free or give you store credit.
