15 Fun and Creative Signs to Make With Your Friends

Friendship revolves around making memories, and sometimes the simplest activities create the best moments.

Among the many fun things you can do with your friends, making signs is one of the most underrated yet enjoyable.

It’s inexpensive, imaginative, and perfect for bonding—whether you’re cheering at a sporting event, celebrating a friend’s achievement, or just playing around with funny posters.

Consider this, you get to brainstorm, doodle, laugh at silly drawings, and end up with something you can proudly hang in your room as a reminder of good times.

Need a gift for your friends? Here are 15 sign ideas that range from funny to supportive—and even a little weird.

15 Fun and Creative Signs to Make With Your Friends

1. A Sports Cheer Sign

When you and your friends go to a game, you can’t skip making a bright sports sign. Write the team name in bold, add a bit of glitter, and draw the mascot. Even if your art skills aren’t great, the fun is in trying. These signs instantly bring energy and excitement to game day.

2. A Birthday Poster

If it’s your friend’s birthday, grab some cardboard and markers and create a giant Happy Birthday! sign. Add inside jokes, sketches of their favorite things, or even baby pictures (with their permission, of course). It’s a sweet, personal gesture that makes them feel loved.

3. A Welcome Home Sign

Whether your friend was away on a trip, at school, or at summer camp, a warm welcome-home sign is the perfect way to show excitement. Use bold colors, add balloons or cut-out hearts, and make it festive.

4. Inside Joke Poster

Every friend group has inside jokes that no one else understands. Turn one into a giant poster. Write the phrase in bold, add doodles that only your group will get, and laugh as outsiders look confused.

5. Encouragement Sign

Making an encouragement sign for a friend who has an exam, performance, or big day can mean the world. A simple You got this! or We believe in you! can make them feel supported and less anxious.

If you and your friends are passionate about a cause, making awareness or protest posters is both fun and impactful. Brainstorm catchy slogans, get creative with designs, and let your voices be heard.

7. A Sleepover Banner

Sleepovers are fun on their own, but walking into a room with a giant homemade Best Sleepover Ever! banner makes it even better. Add doodles of pizza, popcorn, or stars for extra charm.

8. Road Trip Car Signs

Planning a road trip? Make car window signs with funny phrases like Honk if you love road trips! or quirky doodles to make other drivers smile. It’s a silly way to add more fun to your adventure.

9. A Fake Concert Poster

If you love music, design a fake concert poster for your “band.” Give yourselves a goofy name, create a fake logo, and list made-up tour dates. It’s a fun inside joke and makes for cool wall art.

10. Holiday Signs

Make themed signs for holidays like Christmas, Halloween, or Valentine’s Day. Add festive doodles, stickers, and cut-outs, then hang them around your space to set the mood.

11. Meme Poster

Take a meme your group loves and turn it into a poster. Bad drawings, funny captions, and internet humor all add to the fun. It’s guaranteed to get laughs every time you see it.

12. A “Just Because” Poster

Sometimes, you don’t need a reason. Grab your markers, scribble nonsense, and create an intentionally ugly masterpiece. These random posters are hilarious and bring back memories of making them.

13. Travel Bucket List Poster

If your group loves traveling, make a sign listing all the places you want to visit together. Add doodles of landmarks, stick figures, or random sketches. It’s fun to create and inspiring to look at.

14. Group Rules Poster

This one’s always a hit: create a fake rule list for your friend group. For example:

  • Rule 1: Pizza before midnight.

  • Rule 5: Inside jokes must always be repeated three times.

It’s silly, creative, and guaranteed to make everyone laugh.

Whenever a friend reaches a milestone—graduation, new job, big project—make a sign just for them. Write their name in bold, decorate with stars and motivational words, and wave it proudly while cheering them on.

Why Making Signs With Friends Is Worth It

Making signs might seem simple, but it’s surprisingly fun and meaningful. Here’s why:

  • It’s creative: You can draw, paint, doodle, and add stickers.

  • It builds connection: Shared activities and silly moments strengthen friendships.

  • It fits any occasion: From serious causes to just-for-fun nights, signs work everywhere.

  • It’s affordable: All you need are paper, cardboard, and markers.

And at the end, you’re left with something tangible—a memory you can hang on your wall and cherish.

Final Thoughts

Friendship doesn’t always require expensive outings or complicated plans. Sometimes, the best memories are made sitting around with markers, laughing at ridiculous doodles, and creating signs that reflect your unique bond.
