The Bronx is a Busy Borough - Pick the Perfect Day for a Groundbreaking Event

A groundbreaking ceremony is a big day! It represents the results of effort and dedication and it's an important landmark in the life of a business and you'll want to remember this milestone with a successful event. Even though the Bronx is a busy Borough the perfect day for a groundbreaking event is the one you pick! There is no wrong day, or right day, however, there can be conflicting days. This is why we recommend you review your city or county's event calendar and make sure your sod-cutting ceremony won't be lost in the midst of festivals, conferences, and other town functions. When choosing the day for a groundbreaking event be aware of other activities taking place around town. Sod-cutting ceremonies are architectural rituals rooted in ancient religious practices meant to assure a fortunate and prosperous construction, (Click here for a brief history of Groundbreaking Ceremonies) and although human sacrifices are no longer used (or legally allowed!), there are other ritualistic elements that are still related to the belief of "sacred space" or sacred architecture. Numerology plays a big role. Especially when it's time to pick the perfect day for a groundbreaking event! This is the moment to review personal days such as birthday, wedding, and other significant milestones.

Advertising and Promoting Your Groundbreaking Event

Creating a guest list is the most important thing you need to do during the planning stage, and CeremonialSupplies.com can guide you through everything! The list should include all the people you want to attend, including local and national media (depending on the scope of the groundbreaking event), dignitaries, city council, mayor, and other local and national government officials, as well as any celebrities that are in town, or live in The Bronx. Send out actual invitations, and use the reach of social media through platforms like Instagram, Facebook Eventbrite, Meetup, and other online forums to enhance diffusion. Contact magazines and newspapers that circulate in The Bronx, like The New York Times, the New York Post, Bronx Beat, Bronx News, Brooklyn Eagle, Queens Tribune, Queens Chronicle, Staten Island Advance, Metro New York and a combination of others! Communicate and promote your event! When sending out invitations, include a program agenda that lists special guests, speakers, and all other information relevant to the groundbreaking ceremony. Invitations should also say who is the host of the groundbreaking, mention any partners, developers and everyone involved in the project. Local or national government officials should be invited to speak. Usually if they can attend they will, or they send a representative in their place. Inviting local government officials is like honey for the press, so it would be a good idea to have press packets available. And don't forget - it's customary to present recognition awards or plaques to the local officials and dignitaries that will speak at the event.

After the event, the owner, CEO, or similar ranking company VIP can be presented with the ceremonial shovel he or she used, nicely displayed and protected inside an elegant Groundbreaking Shovel and Keepsake Display Case.

The Perfect Ceremonial Groundbreaking Shovel

The importance of the groundbreaking shovel in a first sod-cutting ceremony can't be emphasized enough, and choosing the perfect ceremonial groundbreaking shovel is a big deal. A groundbreaking ceremony is essentially an architectural ritual, and all rituals have their roots in ancient religions. A first sod-cutting represents the first step in the physical act of building and constructing a structure that up to that point had been an idea and a drawing. Therefore the tool used to cut first ground is symbolically representative of a new phase in the realization of a construction project. The groundbreaking shovel, being the first tool used in such a project, becomes the representative imagery. Choose a ceremonial shovel that represents the value and effort it took to get to this new stage. This is where Ceremonialsupplies.com comes in. Our wide selection of styles and price points guarantees that your ceremonial groundbreaking shovel will be the best choice for your event.

The blade of the shovel, also called the scoop, or the head, is connected to the stem by an attached socket, and both are made from stainless steel.

The Standard groundbreaking ceremonial shovel has a polished steel blade, whereas the Deluxe groundbreaking shovel has a polished chrome finish. Both styles are elegant and visually high grade, the main difference being in the more extensive labor required for chrome application and polishing. For a more dramatic and sophisticated ceremony, the VIP golden mirror polished brass blade, and the VIP mirror polished chrome are the ones you want to use.

Winter holidays are the most fun and we at CeremonialSupplies.com love all the great activities the city of Denver puts together for the end of the year celebrations! It inspires companies and private citizens to get in the holiday spirit of lights and colors. Our palette of ceremonial ribbons is the best online because we offer a variety of widths and spool lengths that work great for decorators, event planners and organizers. Our ceremonial ribbons are of top stitch quality, silky and bright, and best of all: customizable! Here are the top 5 reasons to use extra wide ribbons for Denver holiday decorations:

Nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is exactly 1 mile (5280 feet) above sea level. The city is a bustling and thriving American metropolis established during the Wild West era and boasts landmark buildings like the Denver Botanic Gardens, and the Denver Art Museum, as well as spectacular views such as that seen from Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. During the holidays Denver is at its most glorious with its winter wonderland climate and decorations of flowing ceremonial ribbons of gold, and bows and ribbons of red and green in various sizes are a staple of the season's festivities. We receive numerous orders from Denver during the holidays and we see a pattern in how these customized ribbons are mostly used and since we believe in sharing, here they are!

1. The most popular use for ceremonial ribbons extra-wide is as ceiling draping decoration. If you're organizing a large company holiday affair in a ballroom at the iconic Brown Palace Hotel in downtown Denver or at the Bigsby's Folly Winery, both with ample wide and high ceiling spaces, draping the ceiling with 8", 10" ceremonial extra-wide ribbons is an effective and efficient way to "tighten" the theme decor. For the holidays, the color ribbons associated with different cultural festivities of the season are shiny gold ribbons (or silver ribbons), felt or velvet red ribbon, silky green ribbon of forest and foliage shades, blue ribbons of light shade of blue sky, or pale blue ribbon, and black ribbon. Draping from the center out, a combination of 8" and 10" extra-wide gold ribbons and red ribbons are perfect for a Christmas theme, silver ribbons and blue ribbons for a Hanukkah theme, and silver ribbons and gold and black ribbons are colors mostly associates with New Year.

2. Most large scale holiday parties will include either a buffet or a sit-down meal. Extra-wide 10" and even 12" ribbons bring the color theme to the table as a table runner, either along the center of a wide, rectangular table, or running along both side edges of the table. The table-runner ribbon should go over a neutral pale color like ivory or white tablecloth. A Hanukkah themed holiday party with silver ceremonial ribbon and light blue ribbon draping the ceiling and extra-wide silver ribbon as table runner will have an overall effect that brings the room or the area together. Extra-wide ribbons used as table runners are a simple and efficient way to take care of the tabletop base decoration for shiny silver and blue centerpiece ornaments.

3. Once the room's holiday color theme has been defined by the extra-wide ceiling draping ribbons, and the color theme carried over to the table top runner ribbon, you will want to adorn the chair covers - which, like the tablecloth, should be matching in pale ivory or white. The best size width for the extra-wide ribbon that will be used to embellish the chair covers is a 6" wide ribbon, clipped with a matching color bow on the backside. Velvet red ribbon and bow accent on the chairs, matching the extra-wide ribbon red for table runner and the gold ribbon extra-wide with red extra-wide ribbon draping the ceiling, the effect will be luxuriously stunning for a Christmas holiday party in one of the grand ballrooms of the historic Renaissance Denver Downtown City Center Hotel! Housed in the former Colorado National Bank building, the high ceilings and classic style architecture provide the traditional charm that ties in perfectly with traditional holiday color decorations.

4. Don't limit the color accents to the ceiling draping ceremonial ribbons, the table-runner extra wide ribbons, or the chair cover embellishing ceremonial ribbons either! Sprinkle the holiday colors throughout the room using customized 12" extra wide ribbon banners that display seasonal messages of holiday cheer, "Dreaming of a White Christmas," "Happy Holidays from X Corporation," "Baby It's Cold Outside," "Happy New Year," or any other special message or messages. Depending on the floor plan of the room, you may even want to add a red carpet entrance, complete with classic stanchions and rope, or designate an area for official photos of the event.

5. Speckled with local modern art, rugged furnishings, and metal accents the Kimpton Monaco Denver Hotel in the heart of the city is a popular venue for end of the year festivities. The hotel is within walking distance to the Denver Convention Center, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, and the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as other top attractions such as the Fillmore Auditorium, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Pepsi Center, Elitch Gardens, Coors Field, and others. Decorating a room at the Kimpton Monaco Denver Hotel for an end of year celebration like Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Diwali, etc., can be exhilarating, fun, and so rewarding - especially when your decorations are all geared to highlight the room and the festive colors of the season. Extra-wide ribbons of 12" width are ideal for ornamental printed messages, or messages that designate a particular area such as "Santa's Hot Chocolate Station," "Happy Hanukkah Kosher Desserts," and other similar ones, and also to create buntings! The banner ribbons 12" width allows for gathering the material at the end points and clipping it as bunting to frame a raised dance floor, a food station display, or any other area where an empty or blank space will add to the overall holiday theme with an extra-wide customized ribbon bunting. As a matter of fact, depending on the size of the room, a ribbon bunting can be placed on the edge where the wall meets the ceiling, all around the room!

Ribbons are versatile tools of decoration and CeremonialSupplies.com has the best tools to decorate for the holidays in Lansing, Michigan - where residents are ecstatic over the return of the city's downtown ornaments! So deck the halls with ceremonial ribbons for your Lansing New Year Affair this December!

The holidays are special because of family and friends. It's the time of the year when we gather to celebrate, and ribbons (and ham, and turkey, and eggnog ...) take center stage. This winter everyone in Lansing is celebrating the return of giant Christmas tree ornaments that have been displayed at a traffic roundabout in Michigan Avenue and Washington Square in downtown, just down the street from the beautiful capitol building. The ornaments were destroyed last winter by an unknown assailant who hit and broke the ornaments with their car, in the middle of the night. For a long time it looked like the ornaments weren't going to be replaced, and they almost weren't if not for the generosity of the Gentilozzi family, who picked up the $7,500 tab that the city voted down. Just in time for the official ushering of the holiday season in Lansing with the event called "Silver Bells in the City," the 35th annual celebration that will have the entire city aglow with millions of lights and will feature lighted floats, illuminated marching bands, electric light parade, the lighting of the Capitol Christmas tree and fireworks over the Capitol dome! You can be sure that Lansing residents as well as those of nearby Portland, Charlotte, Saint-John, Jackson, Ann Arbor, Flint, and others will be attending and afterward lighting their own special celebration at home. We know this you see, because CeremonialSupplies.com has been fulfilling an insane amount of ceremonial ribbon orders going precisely, to all these cities in Michigan and we think it has something to do with the happiness over the return of the Christmas ornaments - but whatever the reason, we're thrilled to offer our selection of holiday ribbons and ceremonial ribbons to the good people of Lansing!

Red Green and Gold Ribbons Are Lansing's Holiday Colors

Different cultures have different names for the festive holidays that coincide with end of the year celebrations. Members of the Jewish faith celebrate Hanukkah, which commemorates an ancient uprising against the Greeks and Syrians, is distinguished by the color blue in all its shades. Blue ribbon of various lengths and widths is used to decorate the dinner table, blue ribbon bows on elaborate menorahs, and blue ribbon for gift wrapping. Those who follow the principles of African culture celebrate Kwanzaa, a week-long festivity that honors African heritage, unity, and giving. The color ribbons that associate with Kwanzaa are red, black, and green and these are on the garments, as well as color ribbons that are used for decorations. Intertwined red ribbon with green ribbon or black ribbon are used for example to frame a doorway, use as gift wrap ribbon color, and to decorate a room. The ribbon colors of Christmas are red, green, and gold, Lansing's favorite holiday colors, come from western and northern European traditions where Christmas took place at the height of the dark, cold winter. Green ceremonial ribbon represents evergreen plants like Mistletoe and Holly used for thousands of years to brighten the dark winter. The green color ribbon during Christmas goes back to Roman times when evergreen branches were exchanged by neighbors and family as good luck. Today the most common use of the color green during the holidays are on Christmas trees and, ceremonial ribbons. The gold ribbon color represents sun and light, much needed during the dark, cold winter months. Gold ribbon tree top, or a golden tree top star represent this meaning. Red ribbon, which represents the color of Holly berries and remind us of the Spring that lies ahead, uses the color of vitality and life - in fact, the color of blood. Santa's suit is red, Rudolph's nose is red, and red bows and red ribbons are the single most common color and ornaments of Christmas, and hence in downtown Lansing, the red inspired giant Christmas tree ball ornaments!

Christmas is a holiday celebrated by people around the world whether they are Christians or not, and it is a holiday marked by the warmth of the colors red, green, and gold (silver is also used - as in "Silver Bells in the City" of Lansing!). New Year celebrations usually are represented in glittery shades of gold, silver, and black and ribbons in these colors are used for decorating tabletops with gold ribbon runners up to 10" or 12" wide, for decorating chair covers, especially stunning gold ribbon on black covers, and gold ribbon is the preferred ceiling drapery for New Year decorations. Gold ribbons, silver ribbons, and black ribbons are the colors related with New Year festivities, with red accent touches. For example, an ideal decoration for New Year celebration would be silver and black ribbons, or gold and black ribbons of varying widths, draping the ceiling from the center out. Extra-wide gold ribbon, or extra-wide silver ribbon of 10" or 12" as table runners over ivory tablecloth, and extra-wide gold ribbon or silver ribbon embellishing black seat covers with potted poinsettias (in gilded golden pots for ultimate decor!) and candle lighting would create an unforgettable ambiance setting to ring in the New Year in Lansing and anywhere else in the world!
