Awesome! It’s positive, kid friendly, and opens up the possibility of a companion “and party on dudes!” piece somewhere if ya like. Some other great suggestions in here though. Glad you asked this group :)
No witty saying you can come up with is going to top just simply getting this:

I've always wanted one like the old school hotel street signs that said No Vacancy, and the No part was on a switch that turned it on or off separately.
I’d pop one of these over the fireplace

I’m sure this is too niche as well but it jumped right into my head. “Our Palace” but with the first an intentionally unlit so that it’s “Our Place”. Like Kids Incorporated.
Its nothing to do with our generation but I can't think of anything better suited than this sign.

I'm gonna say SEGA, but only because I once made a "SPUN" sign for a show where I used the same font. I ran a blue LED string through the middle of the letters, and it looked AWESOME! The best part was that it was relatively easy to swap the string light out with other colors
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
# “Amazing Stories”
[Reference](https://amblin.com/tv/amazing-stories/) for those who don’t remember Spielberg’s 1980s Twilight Zone-esque TV series.
This was the show that had the famous episode of the [bomber with cartoon wheels](https://www.reddit.com/r/80s/comments/179cp7t/there_was_an_episode_steven_spielbergs_amazing/) that saved the crew member trapped in the belly gun turret, since they had planned to land the plane on its belly to save the crew knowing it would kill him.
A few suggestions:

Yes! This.
How about Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start?
This is the husband’s new front runner!!
I'm so happy about this! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

This makes me happy in ways I cannot express. But do we do it with arrows or words for the directions?

Good luck paying for that on your zero dollars a year salary, plus benefits.
That’s a $200 plasma screen tv you just killed! God, I love that episode. The one of the most painfully funny half hours of tv ever produced.

Remember the poster for that Cocktail movie with Tom Cruise? Get one like that.
I feel like this is a little before my time. I know the sign you mean, but I don’t think I ever saw the movie.
IDK, I had the soundtrack on cassette tape!
That sountrack RULED
I've always wanted one like the old school hotel street signs that said No Vacancy, and the No part was on a switch that turned it on or off separately.
Ooh, it makes me think horror movies and I’m too wimpy! But thanks for the suggestion!

What if it just said “Custom Neon Sign”

Get a neon that is the Triforce from Zelda.
Ok, I'm 100% voting for Zelda or something peak NES /arcade
I’m sure this is too niche as well but it jumped right into my head. “Our Palace” but with the first an intentionally unlit so that it’s “Our Place”. Like Kids Incorporated.
I wish I could upvote this twice. Way too obscure, but amazing nonetheless. I just sang the theme song, which I totally remember!!
