Remove the Shoes, pretty please! π Have you ever wished there was a cute little sign by your front door that would remind guests to leave their shoes at the door? Something darling, welcoming, and maybe even a little sassy? {wink}
Remove The Shoes
Well, Nora brought up this very question in our Tip Junkie Facebook community, and I knew you crafty girls would have some fabulous ideas! Hereβs what Nora asked:
βLaurie, do you have any ideas for a sign that politely or comically request that my house guest remove their shoes at her front door.β
Isnβt that a fun question? I love when our Tip Junkie community shares little everyday challenges because thereβs almost always a creative way to make life prettier and easier! So, naturally, I went looking for inspiration. I found 10 clever Signs for Guests that are sweet, stylish, and full of personality.
10 Creative Signs for Guests

Asking guests to Take Off Shoes can be easier than you think with these fun ideas. Please note, that none of these are actual tutorials, they are links to ideas and Etsy shops! Sadly, I searched and searched so if you have a tutorial on your site β Iβd love to see it. {wink}
1.Β Cute block that you can decorate or embellish any way that you like and pop in a darling black and white photo of your kiddies piggies.
2. Take Off Shoes lettering by the baseboards is such a fun idea. I love how the letters get progressively larger but the same color as the wall. {snicker}
3.Β Removing Shoes Before Entering β This Print was a Digital Reproduction Of An Original BirdAve Illustration and completely whimsical and fun.
4.Β Mahalo for taking off your shoes! This sign is a whimsical and colorful reminder for your guests to remove their shoes before entering your home created by Rusti Lee. (no long available)
5.Β This is a great idea to cross stitch something into a beautiful frame like this, βAbandon Shoes All Ye Who Enterβ.
6.Β Please Remove Your Shoes painted rectangle door hanger.Β Itβs hand painted with several fun shoe types on it.
7.Β βPlease Remove Your Shoes ~ Donβt take better ones on your way out!β sign is hysterical!
8.Β Since Iβm from Texas I really appreciate this sign, βIf youβre not George Strait, Take your boots off!β
9.Β Hereβs another funny one, βLife is made of choices, Remove your shoes or scrub the floorβ.
Bonus: Wondering what to do with the shoes that people are taking off all the time?Β I LOVE the idea behind this shoe rack that floats off the floor.Β Seriously cool.
Which One Would You Choose?
Iβm curious! Would you put a pretty handmade sign by your front door or choose something funny that makes everyone smile?
