We used Signs by Farris. He’s local and made and installed ours within 2 weeks! We are happy with the quality.

Town squares have merchant nights and John Hayes has a tent that provides a large selection of personalized driveway lamp signs

Ace hardware has basic not fancy lamp signs.

A long wait
 
We used Signs By Jackie as well. Be warned that it took 8 weeks so that tells you how busy they are. If you are in the newer sections you also need to buy a new bar to hang it on -which they will sell to you as well , because the ones provided are too short. We had trouble with the holes so my husband had to drill into it to make it fit better.

We went to the Ace Hardware near the Winn Dixie and Spanish Springs. They had a pretty good selection of types.

My sister ordered hers at Ace Hardware. It's beautiful and lights up at night.

Ace Hardware also makes lamp post signs.

Make sure you know what you want first

We spent some time driving around in the golf cart looking at signs after dark; while some of the signs look great by day, you can't read them well after dark and we knew we wanted something internally lit so it was clearly legible after dark. Several of the vendors listed only do a specific type or style of sign, and we found that the ones we really liked (and could clearly read day or night) were by Signs by Jackie, so we went with them. They are really popular and it does take 6-8 weeks for them to be ready, but they also installed it while we were gone and did a beautiful job.

If anyone is moving and no longer wants their sign, I'll take it. I would love to hang a sign with some random person's / couple's name and possibly a pet or two as a deterrent to lukewarm acquaintance and unintelligent friends.

I love this idea! LOL

I own a 3D Printer up north and made my own sign.

Pretty sure Bob Martin was the guy I was talking about...

The UPS store have several on display you can choose from and then put whatever names you want on it.

We were at Americano's last Saturday and stopped at the sign table in the Saturday market there. I think it was Signs by Jackie. We were told to pick the sign up at the Saturday farmer's market in Brownwood. All the vendors markets have been permanently closed. Don't know why.
