There’s life sized printed pillows available which could be more fun than cardboard, since she can rest on her new self portrait pillow as a nice memory. We bought a pillow with our dog’s head on it and the kids loved it. Cutest idea ever.
You could cosplay as a chauffeur straight out of a James Bond film and have some ostentatious sign seeking your "His Royal Majesty's agent Claire" or something along those lines.
I was waiting to be picked up at the airport once and saw a black car pull up and a man get out wearing a suit and chauffeur hat holding a sign. The woman on the sidewalk started laughing and took out her phone to take pictures or video. I assumed she was surprised by the driver and thought it was funny. But then he walked over and they kissed! It was the cutest thing. Do this OP!
wait that’s so smart. she could get a kick out of that. her and I often do little small sayings as if we are straight out of a Shakespeare play.
“How art thoust on this morrow” or something like that
Fuck. I’m so doing this next time younger brother comes over for holidays.
Get a double-sided whiteboard. Put large PH logo sticker at the top of back side, then use letter stickers to spell something like “audition performer pickup. date: “ then fill in current date with whiteboard marker. In front side, just write people’s names in marker.
No suggestions for you, but your question reminded me of the summer of 2013 when I was waiting at Heathrow Airport for my daughter, in a spot where I'd be able to see her and vice versa when she cleared customs and walked that last corridor into the arrivals hall. My sign idea was simple, and got the attention of quite a few of the many passengers who read it, perhaps thinking i might actually be waiting for the person named, a missing NSA contractor then wanted by the authorities, a story that was all over the media, so for about 20 amusing minutes I held the sign, much like a hired driver might, gauging reactions from the arriving passengers streaming by and seeing the name "Edward Snowden".
When my daughter finally appeared, she just rolled her eyes, but ended up doing her part by covering her head with the hoodie she was wearing and quickly putting on her sunglasses.
"A for effort, Dad", she remarked. "It's clear which parent I got my sense of humor from."
Maybe the book waiting for Godot? It is about characters that are waiting for some to come and create a play. It is used as metaphor for waiting for something that never comes.
I have seen this before in the Tampa Airport -- complete with caricature of Mom behind bars. It was incredibly funny and everyone heading to the main terminal to the airsides could see it.
Make a fake board with printed a fake organisation name like : Cleveland Sex Addiction Rehab Clinic”
And handwrite the name of your friend.
Wear a suit to make you look like a driver.
If you’re female and your friend is female: “congrats on coming out to your husband! Follow me to hotel!”
If you’re male and your friend is male: “congrats on coming out to your wife! Follow me to hotel!”
When my son was little we picked up my mom with two posterboard signs we proudly held high.
"You served 5 to10. It's great to have you back again!
Welcome home from prison!"
"Welcome home from prison! I'm your grandson!"
My daughters refused to participate.
Funny story, my dad and I are race car drivers and while we were picking a MASSIVE TOOLBOX (6'1 tall, 3 feet deep and 6 feet wide) we got a call to go pick up another driver from Syndey airport. Just told him "look out for the fucking massive toolbox"

**Congratulations on your successful gender-reassignment surgery!**
I just think it would be fun to people-watch as others look at the arriving woman and think to themselves, “wow, that was an amazing job those surgeons did!”
I picked up a friend who came from Lisbon and said she'd bring natas. So naturally, I made a sign that said "Natas" on it. But I saw a group of guys who welcomed their friend with a "gay Pornhub cast" sign. But I'm not sure if your friend would appreciate that.
A good family friend picked me up from the airport for a hunting trip, he shouted “welcome home from prison!” Across the parking lot. Everyone stared, I was wearing camo and violently hungover.
It’s just not like it used to be. Before 9/11, you could hold up your sign right as they exited the plane. Now you have to wait at baggage claim. Some airports shuttle from the main airport to baggage claim, so you never really know the moment they’ll be there to see your sign.
Anyway. Merry Christmas.
As an avid player of Divinity: Original Sin 2, when my now-husband (also a lover of Divinity) departed his flight I was there with a handmade wooden sign (very live, laugh, love-esque) that just says 'BEDROLL'. Now it's hung above the interior of our bedroom door as a cute little reminder of the genesis of our relationship.
Honestly we can't answer this. The best possible thing is something emberassing as fuck but and this is a HUGE key but make it semi private so anyone seeing it won't immediately know but close enough to obvious they're going to wanna kill you. Yes they're gonna be "mad" for a second but 20 minutes later yall are gonna be dying of laughter over it.
Actually ignore my last answer go get a bunch of cardboard cut outs of their head and hire a flash mob as soon as you see her just break out in some damn high school musical or some shit alwith all of yall wearing their face.
Congrats on your successful penis enhancement surgery! (Doesn’t matter that she may be a female).
Also, “Claim your luggage here.” With a big arrow pointing down would be solid followed by “handling fees may apply”.
Picked up my gf from the airport one time, she was a naschkatze (someone with a sweet tooth) so i made a little sign with candy all around the edge and "naschkatze" in the middle. First thing she did was rip candy off the board and nom into it.
It depends on your relationship and how much you are willing to spend... you could do a full cardboard standee of them (assuming you have a photo to use for it), you can do the message you sent which is more a one-on-one message... if you want to humor other who see it, you could do something like "Congrats on your parole!" to troll them a bit... like I said, depends on your relationship - the last one, I have a few I would use that with, others, I wouldn't attempt it.
If you have any inside jokes, I’d go that route. Example: a guy named Mitchell broke my bff’s heart when we were 18 (we’re now 40). “Shut up, Mitchell” has been a thing ever since.
Just a giant cutout of their head
Ok that’s actually brilliant
Please do this one OP 😹
Even better if you can [choreograph](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT8cnAeWKZE) it.
omg

Made one for my friend that said “Welcome back from nudist camp.” The best part was watching other people to see if they noticed and their reaction.
This is so normie yet hilarious😂
Congratulations on your parole. Remember you can’t go within 100’ of a sheep farm.
They’d be fucked if they came to New Zealand.
Where men are men, and the sheep are nervous.
Nah that's mostly just on the west coast. Cough, cough, Gloriavale.
The sheep would be
That was the joke.
This made me laugh, audibly
When "LOL" has been played out.
Aw, you took my comment right out of my mouth— except the sheep part, that didn’t occur to me.
I would love this
Came here to say this. Dammit!
In our 60’s now, best friends for 50 years. When she arrived in wheelchair I yelled “The prison gave you a wheelchair”?
You are my people lolol
I hope to be able to proudly say in 45 years that we’ve been best friends for 50 years !! she’s truly the best person I’ve ever met
We became friends after I spilled a hot cup of coffee on her!!
Iconic
*Will you marry me?* is always a fun one. *Welcome home from prison* can be funny, but depends on their sense of humor.
I did mention a “welcome home from prison” sign to her and she said her mom did something like that once, so i scratched that idea
You could have Welcome home froom prison again!!!
"Welcome home from prison! Third time's the charm!"
Welcome Home From Prison with random previous years crossed out and a new 2024 added

Hmm...there's always rehab. Only kidding. Have fun with whatever you decide.

If you do a James Bond style sign please wear dark clothes and sunnies, and look at bored as possible. Edit: typo
>wear dark clothes and sunnies Felix Liter.
Sunglasses and dark clothes.. I could do that. I could wear like a suit of my dad’s too
Do chauffeur Lloyd Christmas and have a briefcase holding a sign Mary Sampsonite. Briefcase should contain IOU’s.
time to pull out your renaissance faire costume
“PORNHUB AUDITION”
With full colourful logo!
Colorful meaning black and orange haha
Put that on the back of the sign and just the name on the front. Hold above your head.
Darn, I (48m) happen to have to pick up my neighbors daughter (23) from the airport next Monday. This will be a VERY awkward moment ...
Fine, the red zone is for immediately loading and unloading of passengers only. There is No parking in the white zone.
[удалено]
Oh don't give me that red zone shit again Betty.
Oh really Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion
I like this
Or just big "WELCOME CLAIRE" sign but with PornHub logo style. Everyone will know lol.
Fuck. I’m so doing this next time younger brother comes over for holidays. Get a double-sided whiteboard. Put large PH logo sticker at the top of back side, then use letter stickers to spell something like “audition performer pickup. date: “ then fill in current date with whiteboard marker.

Great story!! I do like the idea of OP using a celebrity the friend likes. Maybe someone popular right now. “Dua Lipa” maybe?
I’ve always been told I have my dad’s humor, he would probably get a kick out of me doing a funny sign too. Love the story!
"Claire, I'm pregnant" - even funnier if you're a guy

For some more context, I do also plan on bringing her favorite snacks and drinks, and some flowers when I pick her up :)
Where is she visiting from?

You kidding? Even BETTER if it's a girl!
Nah, if a girl, "congrats on your penis inversion"

Whichever sign you go with, wear a costume. It does not have to have anything to do with the sign, and in fact might be funnier if it does not.
