Although the history of the lapel pin is quite tricky, and not very well documented, we do know that the lapel pin dates back to the 13th century when it was used by the armies of the Roman Empire. The size of the Roman army was of such a large scale, that lapel pins were necessary to distinguish the enemies and allies. Since those early ancient days of the Roman Empire, the lapel pin has been used continuously for various other reasons outside of the military, and as we can see today, the lapel pin can be worn to support a cause, as with the many different color looped lapel pins available at ceremonialsupplies.com, each representing significant movements symbolized by colors.

The history of lapel pins goes back to Roman times when soldiers of the different battle groups needed to be identified, however in more modern times it was former president Richard Nixon who proudly wore an American Flag pin, and in the 1970's wearing an American flag lapel pin became a huge anti-war statement.

You bet! While this may not sound like the typical gift to find under the tree on Christmas morning, we at CeremonialSupplies.com have this month had the pleasure of fulfilling 2 very special orders for groundbreaking shovels, one going to Madison, and another one going to Atlanta, that we thought we'd share with our clients and followers because we found them to be a thoughtful way to communicate a grand event like a groundbreaking ceremony. Groundbreaking shovels in Georgia for the Holidays is just how these entrepreneurs decided to inform others about a construction planned for the New Year. Here's their story:

After owning and growing their insurance company for 17 years out of the same location in Madison, Georgia the husband-wife duo team of insurance entrepreneurs Luke and Beatriz knew it was time to build their own office space. The search for a convenient location was intense and the outcome not at all what they expected. Speaking with business associates, Luke decided the benefits of constructing their own building couldn't be surpassed! This way the company would have the space and all the extra amenities created when people build for themselves, and there would be plenty of space to sublease and provide an additional stream of revenue. Luke knew his wife would fully support the idea and he wanted this to be a Christmas Day surprise. Immediately Luke went to work on finding a jeweler that would make a gold, miniature groundbreaking shovel bracelet charm, and an online retailer a for full size, commemorative, ceremonial groundbreaking shovel. With a simple online search, voila! CeremonialSupplies.com and our varied selection of groundbreaking shovels for first sod-cutting ceremonies came up and Luke first sent us an email and we quickly matched the special presentation idea he had in mind for his wife with our Golden VIP mirror shovel, (matching the mini groundbreaking golden shovel charm), customized on the blade with a special message inscription. There were photos of 3 different land locations that Luke was considering, and together with the shovel and a gold color hard hat, the photos were featured in one of our beautifully designed display cases that held the sod-cutting shovel, with room to feature the photographs and even a customized hard hat to match the groundbreaking shovel! The stunning final product was wrapped in holiday color plaid paper and placed under the tree ready for Beatriz to unwrap on Christmas morning and decipher the wonderful surprise!

Atlanta, Georgia is a city filled with movers and shakers - people who are always on the go, especially with the construction boom being experienced by Atlanta and its suburbs! There seem to be more new businesses popping up all over the beautiful southern city and the holidays just add to the excitement and cheer of a new year that will bring new beginnings. Tiphareth Press will be breaking first ground in rural Atlanta and the official invitations will be going out over the holidays in scroll style invitations pinned with a mini sized golden groundbreaking shovel lapel pin. The invitation informs the bearer to wear the lapel pin at the ceremony for a special recognition and prize. The holidays are perfect to send out invitations and make official announcements of planned events such as a first sod-cutting ceremony, but regardless what time of the year you plan the big event, count on CeremonialSupplies.com for the best online selection of products and tools to take your groundbreaking event to the next level!

Miami accounting firm Shayra Barros Accounting knew they'd be fully operational in their new location by the next tax season, so when the holidays came around, one way the firm maintained everyone's interest in the upcoming groundbreaking of the company was by sending miniature groundbreaking shovel pins, placed inside a small gift box that held a plated inscription from the accounting firm, and wrapped in Shayra Barros Accounting logo with holiday silver and blue decoration. The miniature groundbreaking shovels were a holiday hit with clients, and when the time of the groundbreaking event came around, the miniature groundbreaking shovel pin was worn by many guests at the actual groundbreaking ceremony, and those attendees who wore the golden groundbreaking shovel pin, received a special gift.

South Florida's thriving communities all boast their own chambers of commerce. These consortiums of strong, Miami based businesses and entrepreneurs are continuously holding groundbreaking events, grand openings, and other such commemorative ceremonies within their respective associations. One particular savvy Miami chamber decided to purchase a Golden VIP Mirror groundbreaking shovel, complete with its own sod-cutting shovel stand, and dressed with matching gold color hard hat and a giant golden bow and placed next to the Christmas tree, ready to be gifted to the first business to hold a groundbreaking ceremony during the upcoming New Year.

Hosting a grand opening in beautiful Wisconsin? CeremonialSupplies.com has the best online selection of ceremonial grand opening scissors worthy of Wisconsin's grand style! Known as America's "dairyland" thanks to its historical production of dairy products - particularly cheese, Wisconsin's history goes back not only to the French and British colonists who first lived there, but also to the Native American tribes who dwelled throughout the state. This history is rich and momentous and represents many facets in Wisconsin's trajectory as one of our country's most important states. French explorer Jean Nicolet was the first European to see Wisconsin when he landed at Green Bay in 1634. By 1660 a French trading post and a Catholic mission had been established in present-day Ashland. In 1673 Jesuit missionary Jacques Marquette joined the expedition of French-Canadian explorer Louis Jolliet and followed Lake Michigan to Green Bay and up the Fox River to a point where they were told to portage their canoes a distance of about two miles through marsh and oak plains to the Wisconsin River. Years later, the town of Portage, Wisconsin was built and named after the path between the two rivers. Any grand opening event in America's Dairyland should live up to the beauty and elegance of this privileged state that enjoys coastline features as well as an interior of forests and farms, as pristine as when explorers first laid eyes on it! Here are some tips for a Wisconsin style grand opening:

Preparing For a Wisconsin Style Grand Opening

The first step is to create a guest list of attendees, including prominent local personalities and government officials. This is the time to reach out to local district representatives all the way to Madison. Remember the media follows celebrities and personalities! If you plan a big splash in the neighborhood consider an ad in the local papers such as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Green Bay Press-Gazette, La Crosse Tribune, Kenosha News, Beloit Daily News, or the Wisconsin State Journal. Make contact with media reps and include them in your guest list. Don't forget to have a Press Packet for the media, preferably in electronic format that you can give away to them as a memento and includes all the elements they will need for a story, such as high def photos of logo, brand, or products as well as information from which to excerpt a story.

Next comes the decorations. A grand opening can be conducted with ribbon and scissors, but this is the one time you want to make a big introduction of your business so you should make the best of this first, new impression. A personalized ribbon goes a long way, especially if there will be photos and videos. CeremonialSupplies.com has the best online selection of ceremonial ribbons of all colors that come in widths ranging from 2" 4" and 6" to extra wide grand opening ribbons available in 8" and 12" widths. Ideally, an 8" ribbon is perfect for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. It will command attention and will be captured on photos and videos. A way to combine a decoration keepsake is to use 2.25" wide printed ribbon with the name and commemorative date of the event. You can use these ribbons as decorations, either draping down from the ceiling of the business or store, or attached to colorful balloons. At the end of the festivities your guests can all walk away with a keepsake of the grand opening.

Some of the country's most famous personalities are Wisconsinites who achieved international fame such as the revolutionary architect Frank Lloyd Wright who was born in Richland Center; Laura Ingalls Wilder, pioneer and author of the "Little House on The Prairie" books that inspired the popular TV series was born in Pepin County, Wisconsin; Harry Houdini, the most famous magician in the world, was born in Budapest but moved with his family to Appleton and always claimed this is where he was born; painter Georgia O'Keefe was born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin; and the most recognized pianist in the world, known to everyone as "Liberace," was born in West Allis, Wisconsin. Each of these personalities exceeded in specific areas - architecture, literature, magic, painting and music, and these are facts that can provide interesting themes for a grand opening, especially if the business or shop can relate to any of these, as would be a book store, an art and frame shop, or an architectural firm for instance. If the business is a store or shop, merchandising and decorating the shop with grand opening signs and grand opening banners outside and inside the store will hold the guests attention and enthusiasm, making them more likely to purchase on opening day. Shop CeremonialSupplies.com for grand opening banners that can be customized for your business, and other items that embellish the location.

Never before in the history of the country have military personnel been returning home in big numbers after long service and special missions, and we see military homecomings being celebrated everywhere! This is why CeremonialSupplies.com has everything to put military ceremonies, military decorations, and military gifts, at your fingertips! The Military, also known as "Armed Force" is a professional organization formally authorized by a sovereign state, in our case, the United States government, to defend the interests of the people of the state. The US military is made up of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. The primary mission of the military is to defend the citizens, but it also does other things, especially during times of peace. It can respond to disasters of any kind, protect an area, person or persons, and participate in parades or stately military ceremonies. The history of the military and military ceremonies go back to ancient times when these celebrations were opulent and on a grand scale. Today, military ceremonies and honorable military activities such as a promotion, a retirement, or a memorial are again, gaining prominence with event planners to produce lavish memorable occasions. From small details like a printed protocol card, to themed military decorations, and flag and medals display cases CeremonialSupplies.com is the one-stop place on the internet to find the perfect decorations and gifts for military graduations, promotions, honoring, or other military ceremonies.

Decorations and Gifts for Military Ceremonies

Military decorations for graduations, balls, and military ceremonies that take place during military careers are lively events that even within protocol, can easily incorporate energy and excitement. The use of carpet runners, stanchions and ropes, balloons, and backdrop banners as military decorations wouldn't be out of place in a military graduation, a military promotion, or a military ball. When organizing military ceremonies, it would be appropriate to provide a program for each guest and even an etiquette card printed with the basic protocols. Small flag centerpieces, or a giant flag either draped or projected over a large panel or wall area, are powerful military decorations that add to the symbolism of the theme and create the patriotic ambiance which is the basis of a military ceremony. These military decorations can also serve a dual purpose - in the case of centerpieces, as a keepsake memento for attendees, and the giant flag can be presented inside a flag display case, to the honoree. Military ceremonies are becoming more and more commonplace for event planners and CeremonialSupplies.com is here to help you find creative military decorations and military event supplies that will help make any military ceremony a memorable occasion.

Military ceremonies usually include a gift or memento of the occasion. These keepsakes can range from a commemorative flag in a personalized display case, to an engraved lapel pin or bracelet with the corresponding military emblem for the ladies and cufflinks or years of service lapel pins for the gentlemen - all depending on the budget available. Other items used as military decorations that are placed at each setting such as a small personalized plaque, serve as souvenir gifts. The idea is to make every attendee feel special and show appreciation for their presence at the event, and when carefully chosen, military decorations can serve this dual purpose.
