Everyone loves a grand opening and at CeremonialSupplies.com you've come to the best place on the internet for all the trimmings. Alabama is a beautiful state that has made its mark with impressive "firsts" and following this outstanding Alabama tradition, ceremonial grand opening scissors display cases are a must in the Yellowhammer State when a grand opening is celebrated. Did you know that in 1703 Mobile held the first "official" Mardi Gras celebration in the New World? Pretty sure they might have opened with some sort of grand opening ceremony but alas, there isn't too much information about it that has survived three hundred years! In 1836 Christmas was celebrated in a huge way in Alabama. It was the first state to declare it a legal holiday! Although ribbons were certainly a featured staple in the celebration, ceremonial grand opening scissors were not necessary for this festive occasion. However fifty-years later on April 15, 1886 Montgomery introduced the world's first citywide electric trolley system, called the Lightning Route, and its grand opening, as well as its retirement ceremony involved ceremonial scissors. With CeremonialSupplies.com selection of beautiful display cases for grand opening scissors, a snippet of ribbon, and photos, these momentous events can be displayed and protected for posterity. Don't let your special grand opening celebration take place without shopping CeremonialSupplies.com for top quality ribbon-cutting products at budget friendly prices. Grand opening ceremonies are important landmarks in the life of a company or a business, and in Alabama's noble tradition of innovative firsts, new endeavors should contribute to the state's notable recognitions.

Grand Opening Celebrations and Alabama's Tradition of Innovative Firsts
It is said that places, just like people, have energy and abundance of all that is necessary for success - it's just up to us to tap into it and flow with its current. Grand opening ceremonies are a fun way to introduce a business to the community and market a product or service, but a grand opening also stems from ancient rituals and today, the remnants of these old rites are embedded in the modern grand opening. Opening a business, a building, a structure, or any other project is the culmination of diligent work and dedication, and hopefully planning and organization. The purpose of a grand opening in essence, is a giving and receiving with the immediate environment, for the proposition of future growth, development, sustainability, and longevity. Based on the intention that if you believe in something you will reap its rewards, a grand opening sets the perfect stage for a positive beginning, and in Alabama, from Huntsville, where Saturn V, the rocket that sent the first Americans to the moon was designed and built at Marshall Space Flight Center, to Birmingham, Montgomery, and Halleyville - where the first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968 - the energy of successful firsts in Alabama overflows. Use it to your benefit and have every item carefully selected, displayed, used, and stored. The effort and intention that you put into each phase will pay off.
The ceremonial grand opening scissors are the stars of a grand opening celebration and as stars, we give them a stature of grandeur. Our ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors range from our golden handle stainless steel 10.5" scissors, to our giant ceremonial scissors that are 25" or 30" long (that's over 2 feet tall!) and come in a variety of handle colors to match the ceremonial ribbon. The standard color for grand opening ribbons is red, although you have many other choices. Red represents power, distinction, luxury, and wealth. (For more information on the significance and use of color click here.) The combination of red with gold is more than just attractive and pleasing for photos and videos, it also represents classic, elegant tradition - something that Alabama is filled with. A customized 30" ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors with red handle and customized gold blades, and an extra wide red ribbon 6" to 10" with gold lettering, held by two classic gold stanchions and red bows on each end are products stunning enough to command a grand opening with nothing else. But anyone who goes this far and doesn't take it to the next level is misusing a great opportunity.
Everyone loves an event! Most people like to dress up and be seen. A grand opening is one of these events. The giant ceremonial scissors, while not being used, should be on display for all to see, especially if you've gone the extra step to customize the blades with the name of the event or any other message. We have two styles of ceremonial scissors stands; the Deluxe Chrome Ceremonial Scissors Display Stand, and the standard Ribbon Cutting Scssors Stand. The stands are meant to hold the ceremonial scissors, and for marketing purposes, the ribbon-cutting scissors on their stand are a perfect spot for official photographs. To dress up the area, a step and repeat backdrop will serve beautifully. CeremonialSupplies.com has available a backdrop vinyl banner in 4' x 4' that would work splendidly for a ceremonial scissors backdrop. For a more lavish and grand event, the 8' x 8' sized banner, with a red carpet will give you the type of photographs and videos as if your guests were celebrities at the Oscars! Other optional size red carpet backdrop banners of 8 x 10 and 8 x 12 are also available.
After the excitement of the grand opening event, the photos and videos will play a big role in marketing, especially if there was media coverage. But to make a truly lasting impression, a fine crafted display case to hold the grand opening keepsakes will be the ultimate touch. The ceremonial display case can hold the ribbon-cutting scissor, a portion of the ceremonial ribbon, and will also have room for a special photo to be displayed. The display case for the ceremonial items can be kept in a curio table or cabinet, or it can be hung on a wall. Either way it is a great way to remember the occasion, display the items, and protect them for posterity. These may be items worth keeping and remembering three hundred years from now!
Our ceremonial scissors display cases are constructed of high quality solid wood in cherry or walnut finish, with a hinged, beveled wood frame glass cover top and secure brass latch closure.
