**WHY A 2-STEP PROCESS?** 
Custom work takes time. The deposit protects our design hours and lets you approve everything before we cut wood/paint. No surprises, no wasted materials.

**HAVE MULTIPLE KIDS?** 
Q: Do I need 3 deposits for 3 kids? 
A: Only if you want 3 separate signs. If you want 1 reusable sign for all 3, choose “Multiple Children Sign” and pay 1 deposit.
