Straight Outta Candy Printable Sign For Halloween

This Straight Outta Candy Printable Sign For Halloween gives you a fun way to decorate for Halloween or to tell trick-or-treaters you are out of candy!

The words are clear, simple, and bold so they can be easily read, from a distance. If you are out of candy, you can place this sign on your front door so trick-or-treaters can see it from the road.

Why We Don’t Pass Out Candy To Trick-Or-Treaters

Our neighborhood is a popular one when it comes to trick-or-treaters. The first few years we lived here, we embraced the excitement and spent quite a bit of money on candy to pass out. I would sit on a chair at the front door and greet the constant stream of trick-or-treaters as they arrived and refilled my candy basket often. It was a lot of fun.

For a few years, we created a trick-or-treat table with a variety of goodies and a Printable Halloween Sign that said Take One, 2 If you Dare. It was a sweet set up and it was easy to keep tabs on the table because our front doors are glass. We chose to do this because Halloween also happens to be my husband’s Birthday (if you know someone with a Halloween Birthday, check out these Printable Halloween Birthday Cards) and it was nice to not have to be at the front door all night. Then, one Halloween night, I looked up just in time to see a grown woman, without a costume, doing a full arm sweep from our trick-or-treat table into her large bag. The next morning, we found our little picket fence had been damaged and there were candy wrappers all over our yard.

I didn’t want to go back to sitting at the front door all night (since it’s also my husband’s Birthday) so we opted not to participate the following year and saved over $300 in treats. Our Straight Outta Candy sign helped to keep the constant knocks away. I even heard one trick-or-treater exclaim, ‘already?’ but we were okay with that.

Instead, we usually make up a few little Boo Boxes to deliver to the special little ones that we know well or put together a Halloween Care Package to surprise someone with. I can’t say we’ll never participate in the neighborhood candy grab again but, for now, we are enjoying opting out.

When To Use The Out Of Candy Sign

  • When You Are Out Of Candy: Place the sign on your door so trick-or-treaters know, without coming up to your door, that you are out of candy. No need to turn the lights off when you have a Straight Outta Candy Sign!

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have glass doors, you can print and tape the sign to the inside glass so trick-or-treaters can see it from the road. You could also tape the sign to the door on the outside. You may want to laminate the sign to make it extra durable and pack it away to use again next year.

The sign also makes great Halloween decor! I like to print the sign on card stock and frame the sign in a simple black 8-1/2 x 11″ frame.

Silly trick-or-treaters may take this sign down if it’s taped to your door. For this reason, it is best to place the sign in a window next to the door or you can keep checking on the sign to make sure it’s still there.

In my experience, the sign does work. When we placed the sign on our front door, we did not have knocks on our door. While I can’t promise that trick-or-treaters won’t knock, this sign is a fun and festive way to let them know you aren’t participating in passing out candy.

In the past, turning off lights didn’t work for us because trick-or-treaters could see lights on in the house and knew someone was home. Also, trick-or-treaters often start before it’s dark so it’s a good way to let them know you aren’t participating.
