CeremonialSupplies.com, the best online supply shop for recognition trophies and awards for groundbreaking ceremonies, grand openings, and corporate and military functions, offers an assortment of trophies and awards, medals, plaques and ceremonial keys that are ideal for keepsake gifts for groundbreaking ceremonies. Historically, awards and plaques are used to recognize the contribution of individuals to the success of a team. From sports to special projects and personal accomplishments awards, trophies and plaques are the most meaningful items used to express gratitude, making them popular for all ceremonies where a heartfelt “thank you” is expressed.

The history of awards is as old as the competitive spirit.  Dedicating pomp to honor, or recognize the achievements of a special someone or a group of individuals is as ancient as time itself as we find in the oldest myth, upon which the Olympic Games are based, Zeus fighting and defeating Cronus for the throne of the gods! Today the Olympic medals are awarded to the top three athletes or teams in the competitions.  There are major awards that get passed down from one honoree to the next, and other awards or trophies carry the name of a founder or a first honoree such as the Cy Young plaque in baseball, awarded to the best major league pitcher. The plaque has been awarded since 1956 and although the Florida Marlins have yet to receive the distinct honor of the home plate shaped plaque award, they have come close! One award a Florida team did win was the illustrious giant Stanley Cup trophy of ice hockey, brought to the Sunshine State by the Florida Panthers in 1996! The intention behind these awards are to recognize great efforts and achievements and to motivate others to strive for the same. At CeremonialSupplies.com we understand awards and have a unique selection to choose from!

Trophies and Recognition Plaques for Groundbreakings

A groundbreaking ceremony just like any corporate event, will undoubtedly involve dedications and speeches that are usually made by local government influencers. The owner or CEO will usually introduce people important in the achievements of the company and public officials and other community leaders may be asked to make a speech or dedication. The best way to acknowledge and thank the contributors in a way that will be long lasting and appreciated is by honoring them with an award trophy of recognition.

CeremonialSupplies.com has the perfect trophy to recognize the efforts of important VIPs and company officials starting with the Industry Leader trophy award, a highly valued recognition for extraordinary team leadership and accomplishments beyond expectations. The trophy itself is a work of art sculpture in stainless steel that features a ball balanced on top of three pronged pedestal slabs. The symbolism of the sculpture invokes the skill of balance. This trophy is 16” high with a 6” base all around. It is an impressive award that comes with a distinguished presentation box and lends itself for the establishment of an honorable founding trophy that can be awarded and held by different departments or people throughout the life of a company, the way the Stanley Cup is for example, presented each year to the winning team. Building teamwork and morale is an important part of running a business, and recognizing employees for their service above and beyond, is a way of raising performance standards. The Summit Award trophy features a sleek baroque glass design with a 5.5” base and 12” height with space for six lines of engraved text with the option to have a logo on the center front of the trophy. This unique and elegant trophy is reserved for the most important VIPs and is an ideal presentation for a department head, or chief, and can also be presented to an entire team and displayed for everyone to view, admire, and be motivated. The Groundbreaking Commemorative Keepsake and the Groundbreaking Hat and Shovel Keepsake both feature a miniature size groundbreaking shovel and hard hat, but each includes features which make it appropriate for honoring architects and engineers or construction contractors. Plaques such as the Groundbreaking Shovel Plaque and the Key to the City Plaque in Presentation Case are unique and elegant to present to public officials speaking at a groundbreaking ceremony or a grand opening ceremony. They each have a section for text or logo and make a beautiful presentation and keepsake for those important community leaders who participate with a dedication or a speech at these events.

CeremonialSupplies.com the best one stop shop on the internet for ceremonial ribbons used at grand opening events and other celebrations, offers customization and a variety of sizes and styles so you get the perfect variety of ribbons to decorate Holiday Cheer wherever they appear! If your grand opening happens to fall within the end of the year holidays, make the most of it! here are some tips for Happy Holiday Grand Openings with Shiny Holiday Ribbons!

Choosing your Ribbons!

It sounds simple, and it can be. When choosing decorative holiday ribbon consider first the color of the ribbon. If you have an established brand, a company logo or colors, you may want to choose a ceremonial ribbon that can show this off. This way the visual impact is stronger through top of mind awareness of your target audience or public - especially if the grand opening will be featured in the media. For a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony, you can also use a red ribbon, green ribbon, or gold holiday color ribbon, as the classic staple of a grand opening. CeremonialSupplies.com has an extensive selection of color ribbons in widths that range from 2.25" up to 12" in spools of 12, 25, or 50 yard lengths.

Depending on the size of the building entrance or the place where the actual ribbon cutting will take place you should determine the best length for the ceremonial ribbon. Keep in mind that the minimum length may be 12 yards and that will give you enough for the ceremony, a souvenir clipping of the ribbon, and if there's more left over you can easily use it for sashes that can be worn by serving personnel. The continuity of color and message is a subliminal way to maintain upper mind awareness of your brand or company among the participants.

The width of the ribbon is important. If you want a big, bold, statement, choose a wide ribbon where the name or logo will be prominently displayed!

Decorating A Grand Opening Like Santa!

Decorating a grand opening like a pro, such as Santa, who makes the North Pole elves factory a heaven and a home for the joyous toy makers, just takes a few simple steps with the right tools. Stanchions or crowd posts are the best tools you can use to hold up the grand opening ribbon on each end. CeremonislSupplies.com has several classic styles such as brass golden dome top posts, the urn top chrome posts, or the flat top black-matte stanchions that will enhance the grand opening ribbon entrance. You can then have the special guests and VIPS stand behind the ribbon for professional looking photos and videos! CeremonialSupplies.com has other styles of stanchions to help you decorate different looks and needs. The plastic weatherproof hitching post style stanchions have the advantage of being lightweight and easy to carry and transport and can be filled with sand or water when time to use! The hitching post stanchions are sols as pairs and they come in black, yellow, and white and bring their own chain link. After the grand opening ceremony, the classic stanchions and the hitching post stanchions are great for inside your business to facilitate crowd control movement in the time of Covid social distancing. For adjusting from large to smaller crowds and vice versa, we have the retractable stanchions. These crowd control posts are available in full size or mini (11”). Whatever style you choose, you can be sure the grand opening ribbon with the business name boldly displayed, will look great!

This elegant case to display grand-opening scissors, will hold the keepsake safely, protect it, and display it grandly in any office, lobby, conference room, or any other location where you want the vibe to be.

Many have been the sad times we have witnessed a gloriously sparkling 10” ruby-red ribbon with white and silver logo been savagely cut through with the nearest paper scissor found within the grounds! This grand opening ceremony disaster can cause an event planner to develop a severe case of “the jitters” when facing future grand opening ceremonies. Louisiana, and in particular its mysterious and alluring city of New Orleans, celebrate tradition in all its forms, and attention to detail is key to an unforgettable event. This means that when you are choosing your ceremonial ribbon; remember the other flashy star of the show – the ceremonial scissors!

From the humid, cooking, sweltering, possibly sultry, summers through rain and hurricane season, to the slightly cooler temperatures of a sometimes snowy, winter, the colors of purple, green, gold, black, and red are associated with New Orleans and can be found in our palette of ceremonial ribbons, and ceremonial scissor handles. Play up your Louisiana company logo and colors! Customized ceremonial ribbon with your company’s name, logo, and commemorative message printed repeatedly throughout your 10, 12, 15, 20, or 25 yards ribbon length. It is always a good idea to order a little extra than what you need, for example, if your entrance is 10’ wide it will take six (3) yards and a little more for loose, but taut position for the ribbon. Consider the full 10 yards ribbon spool, with your personalized ribbon the message is repeated throughout the length of the full ceremonial ribbon. The extra yards from the spool can be used to create a sash for a presenter of the event, or in other creative ways. The rule of thumb is that it is always best to give yourself a good chunk of extra room because you will definitely find decorative ways to use material, any material, if given the chance. The guests will gather within the immediate area, and the idea is to bring the party inside, it is important to wow your crowd while they arrive and begin to gather.
