Have submitted #820734 for this and placed it under OCCASIONS>CONGRATULATIONS>BLESSING CEREMONY>GENERAL
It really should not be 'general' because it is specifically for a 'business blessing;' however there was no 'business blessing,' nor was there even an 'other' category.
Perhaps GCU should consider putting 'Other' as a final choice here?
Thanks.

Mindy, I love designing cards for special requests. The latest, a Happy Birthday card for "Alphonso", was
pretty self-explanatory and I was thrilled when the shopper chose my design. But some card-requests are somewhat unclear. A bit more info would be helpful.
Is the "Business Blessing Ceremony" an invitation? Or is it a congratulatory card?
Is it Christian oriented? Buddhist? Native American?
Please help us out with some more details to save us from wasting our time on designs which are not what the shopper intended. Thanks Mindy!

They just might like the idea of adding more in depth info with a little push in that direction.. Could it hurt to try that awhile and see how it goes?

Here is what a Business Blessing Ceremony is:

http://www.startum.com/businessblessings.htm

This is what I would do:

For Invitations to attend this event I'd put them here:

Business - Announcements Invitations - Other Announcement Cards

For General Well Wishes for the Blessing/Ceremony I'd put them here:

Business - Business Favorites - Inspirational Greeting Cards

For Thanking the Consultant I'd put them here:

Business - Thank You - Other Business Thank You Greeting Cards

At least that's what I'm going to do and GCU can move them should they decide to create something specific.

The Blessing of a Business is a common Feng Shui rite - a personal ceremony that clears away old, left over energy from a previous tenant or opens up the energy flow in a newly constucted building, allowing the space to be filled with the new tenant's personalty, energy and business success.

Google "space clearing" and/or "blessing of a business" and some stuff should come up.

It can be non-denominational, linked to a specific religion, or spiritual in nature.

(EDITED TO ADD: guess I should have read all the way down first - Doreen gave a good link, too!)

Business Blessing Ceremony cards

sorry for the incomplete post...

Our review team will work with you to put your card in the fitting new categories as listed below:
Business >> Invitations & Announcements >> Business Blessing / Prosperity Ceremony
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/shopping/cb.asp?cid=13227

Occasions >> Congrats >> Business Blessing / Prosperity Ceremony
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/shopping/cb.asp?cid=13228

Doreen has some super advice re: using the >> Other subcategory when you feel there is not a good fit among existing subcategories.

It was not clear which one the shopper has requested. We have followed up with them for clarification and will post here if we get a reply. Typically we do this before the request post is made on the forum. This posting jumped the gun, sorry. embarrassed

As usual, to expedite the review of these cards please check "Fast Track Review" on the Card Image Details page when you create your card.
