You have seen yard cards on all the lawns in South Bend. Flamingos, cows, hearts, and stars all flood your neighbors’ yard with lawn letters spelling phrases like Happy Birthday, Congrats, and Welcome home. A life-size greeting card for your front lawn, what could be more fun!? That’s what Jennifer Nyikos from Fun By The Yard thought when she started her Yard Card business out of her Michiana home in 2011. From hand-cut and painted signs for her friends and family to becoming the number one professional yard greeting company in Northern Indiana has been a dream come true for Nyikos.

You can welcome home a newborn baby, send them off to school for the first time, decorate for birthday parties, give your daughter a sweet 16 to remember, congratulate students on graduation, ring in a 21st birthday, celebrate an engagement, do something special for your anniversary, give your best friend a fun Over the Hill birthday celebration, or send your parents into retirement in style. Whatever the life event, Fun By the Yard is here to celebrate with you! “We decorate your memories!”

What makes FBTY yard card rentals stand out from competitors like Card My Yard and Sign Gypsies? Experience, Customer service, and selection.
