shaun i found where to opt in on the customs but... couldn't find the minimum button-is it not active yet?

"Artists will be able to set a required minimum order size in the Global Preferences area.  For example, if you set your minimum order size to 25, then when the customer clicks the "Custom Requests" icon they will see a message along the lines of "This artist can create custom designs for quantities of 25 cards or more"  

 
Correct, this isn't active yet, we're hoping to have this feature on the site by the end of tomorrow.

Thanks Shaun ... Do you expect that the shoppers who want to do this will pick a card from one of the photo card categories to initiate the process, even though they won't be buying that card number, or will there be other more global mechanisms, like somehow on the landing/explanation page?  
 
If the answer is via a card in a photo card catergory it seems there will have to be hundreds of these categories (ie:  each holiday, each occasion, each invitation type, ...).  That might be OK, and in such case I'd recommend the category be "A PHOTO CARD" so that it shows up as the first subcategory under each category, and perhaps be all caps.  Clicking that category should take them to the "explanation page" prior to seeing the specific photo card options for that category.
 
And lastly, how will this handled on the other Big Dates sites?

Well . . my question: I had already created several photo cards in the Christmas/photo cards category. Now, when I go back to change the categories, it won't let  me. So, do I tell you which cards to change?
 
thanks for all the great information,
elizabeth

Based on your feedback we have added the following two fields to Custom Requests settings in Global Preferences:
 
1) Minimum Order Size Required (default = 25)
 
2) Your Message Shoppers
default text is:
Thank you for your interest in my custom cards.  I can typically respond within 48 hours with the exception of weekends and holidays.
