Red, Green, Blue, and White Holiday Colors

These are the traditional colors of Christmas. A decorated Christmas tree or a wreath for example, will have these colors in some form or another. Velvet red bows for gift wraps, or for a big gift such as a car, a giant 43" bow of evergreen velvet, red velvet giant bow, or gold bows always add a special touch of holiday colors of the season. Using the colors of Christmas on your grand opening ribbon such as bright red or bright evergreen with gold imprint of your company name and logo, or any other commemorative message will be an eye-catcher and a lasting photo or video memento. Depending on the size of the grand opening entrance that will be inaugurated, use extra-wide ribbons of 6", 8", 10" and 12" wide,  for a color combination of ribbon and imprint that will pop visually. An 8” extra-wide ceremonial ribbon in holiday red, or holiday green, imprinted with a gold font will show up impressively in person, and in videos and photos. The ceremonial ribbon should be held on each side by stanchions or crowd posts – certainly not other individuals. This last option shows improper planning, aside from rendering your richly imprinted grand opening ribbon, lopsided and difficult to read as different people are holding it, at different points. This is a big No! The proper way to hold and display your ceremonial ribbon is by attaching it tightly to a crowd post on each end of the entrance. Ceremonialsupplies.com offers a selection of stanchions and crowd posts that are sure to fit the holiday bill! The dome top golden stanchion is perfect for the traditional red and gold or red and green ceremonial ribbon. A backdrop step and repeat and an event carpet runner can glamorize the entrance in a Holiday red carpet fashion!

A bright blue ribbon or a white ribbon and the urn top polished chrome stanchion is for a sleek, clean, modern design. The blue and chrome motif also represents Hanukah colors. An extra-wide blue ribbon with white or silver imprint or a variation of this theme, held at each end with jumbo ribbons attached to each stanchion, offers an irresistible placement for your grand opening message! Red carpet entrances don’t have to be red carpet anymore, and at ceremonialsupplies.com you will find the perfect selections and best price points online for carpet runners in holiday red, green, blue, and other colors.

Silver Bells and Gold Ribbons

Bing Crosby dreamt of a “White Christmas”, and brought us the first recording of “Silver Bells,” two of the most widely recognized titles of the holiday season. Granted, we at ceremonialsupplies.com best feel the holiday spirit with Eartha Kitt’s rendition of “Santa Baby",  and "Baby It's Cold Outside," by the amazing voices of Dean Martin and Doris Day. When arranging a grand opening event there’s more to stimulate the senses than visuals, and the combination of décor and music are the groundwork of a memorable gathering. The smell of burning incense associated with riches and wealth, such as frankincense and myrrh, greatly valued since antiquity, and known to the western world as the gifts of the Three Wise Kings, is an enhancement to the visual and auditory, creating an experience impossible to forget. It doesn’t matter what your music choice is or what aroma and/or form of delivery is – it may be the scent of fresh pines, or other ideas that are particular to the company, the business, the area, and the time. The point is to bring the spirit of the holidays to your grand opening event, and silver and gold decorations add an ethereal touch to the holiday reds, greens, blues, and whites! Both are colors, and each is a valued metal. Gold represents wealth, riches, and royalty. Silver is a cooler tone that denotes elegance and reflection. Shop gold ribbon, silver ribbon and all other holiday color ribbons at ceremonialsupplies.com, and let us help you create the grand opening ribbon that is right for your holiday event!

Ceremonialsupplies.com has a selection of 25” grand opening scissors and 30” jumbo ribbon-cutting scissors available in golden color blades or silver blades, with any one of different color handles.

For more private, smaller and traditional grand opening functions we offer the golden handles 10” ceremonial scissors, also available with its own shadow box display case.

Presentation Plaques and Grand Opening Keepsakes

Plaques and commemorative keepsakes are items that go a long way as mementos of enjoyed occasions we relive. Speakers at the grand opening can be presented with a commemorative plaque, and of course, the person or persons who cut the ribbon should receive a special keepsake as well. One advantage in using a giant ceremonial scissors is three; average-size persons can hold it in position. The ceremonial scissors can be held in their own stand before and after the ribbon-cutting, and can be presented to the owner, or the most important VIP in a glass-top wooden display case of rich wood color. The meticulously crafted ceremonial scissors case includes an engravable plaque and brings plenty of room to hold a keepsake sample of the ceremonial ribbon, photographs, and newspaper clippings as well as the ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors.

No. 5: Stanchions and Standing Posts

Stanchions are standing poles or posts made of sturdy metal (up to 18 lbs. ea.) that are used to hold ropes that create a barrier or to form a line. Have you ever been to a ribbon-cutting ceremony where people are holding up the ceremonial ribbon? Stanchions hold each end of the ribbon in a ribbon-cutting ceremony so the ribbon is horizontally straight and perfectly positioned.

No. 4: Groundbreaking Shovel Stands

The groundbreaking shovel stand holds the ceremonial shovel in place before, and after the ceremony. Placed on its own stand, the sod-cutting ceremonial shovel can be dressed up with a hard hat and color matching ribbon. The shovel stand holds the shovel, or shovels, and makes these much more accessible than if you were to have them say, stuck on a mound of dirt. The shovel stand creates an invitation that says ‘come look at me’ and that’s exactly what you want your guests to do. You want your guests up close and personal and snapping selfies of your grand event, after all, it’s why you customized everything. Show the world! The strength of having your company or brand color, logo and name engraved, displayed, photographed and video recorded is a marketing goal in itself. There are countless, beautiful ways in which the shovel, the hard hat, and the giant bows of ribbon can be personalized. A groundbreaking shovel stand should be as plain as possible because you don’t want it to detract from the ceremonial shovel.

Add a step and repeat backdrop and voila! You have created a professional guest photo stage!

No. 3: Groundbreaking Shovel Display Case

A groundbreaking ceremony is an important occasion of value and enormous significance for a company or a business. Imagine celebrating the first anniversary of your groundbreaking event, or the fifth, tenth and… one-hundredth. You want to preserve the special items used in the ceremony because they represent the foundation, and as your business grows, these are the tools and mementos that symbolize your achievement. First Sod-cutting ceremonies traditionally involve one, two, or as many people as desired, to hold the ceremonial shovel in hand and stab it into the ground, thereby cutting and shifting first dirt upon which a corner stone will be laid. Depending on the project, there may be a handful or less, of people who will be wielding a ceremonial shovel. A high-profile groundbreaking ceremony will have the Owner, President, CEO, or CFO, of a firm, for example. As the event planner, you are responsible to put on an outstanding ceremony for everyone. The best way to honor the VIPs is by presenting them with the groundbreaking shovel they each used in the ceremony, inside a wooden display case. The ceremonial shovel case can hold the shovel and other mementos like a photo, newspaper clippings or other items, and includes a plaque commemorating the event. Ceremonialsupplies.com has a top-notch selection of shovel cases from which to choose. Personalization goes a long way and customizing the shovel blade – which will be visible inside the shovel display, the display case itself will have a plaque that can also be customized. If you purchase any one of ceremonialsupplies.com top-quality groundbreaking shovels, you will want to protect and preserve it in its own groundbreaking shovel display case.

No. 2: Logo Customized Banner

We see them all the time on those annoying ads from online tabloids. Celebrities attending this or that shin ding and photographed in front of a backdrop or banner that features the logos of all who contribute money or value to the event, as well as the logo of the event. The use of this backdrop, called a “Step and Repeat” – and not because of a printing process. It is easy to see the confusion stemming from the point of view of people familiar with a printing process that began to flourish in the 1980’s and used widely up until perhaps ten years ago. The printing process of repeating logos one, by one, and somehow calling this “step and repeat” has thankfully become irrelevant, since the use of a digital process has replaced it. The controversial term actually derives from a much older and still unchanged practice, born from Hollywood premieres! The term Step and Repeat was most likely coined by photographers and their assistants, who called upon the parading stars to “Step” up to a backdrop that identified a movie and its producers, and “Repeat” the procedure with the next guest or celebrity, as quickly as possible. Equipped with this successful promotional tool embedded in photographs and videos, corporations, companies, businesses, firms and organizations adopted the Hollywood method of promoting their own events with as much glamour and longevity. The glitzy addition to party décor has become popular and accessible for all type of events. We at ceremonialsupplies.com understand the value of this promotional vehicle, and offer various sizes step and repeat banners as well as vertical self-standing roll up banners for the same purpose. That is, to create a beautiful stage for awards, presentations, and photos, and embed the name of the occasion in photos and videos taken of the event for publication or other type of long lasting circulation. 

No. 1: Jumbo Ribbon-Cutting Scissors

Grandopenings and ribbon-cutting ceremony can be one, and the same, although it is also a possibility to have a ribbon-cutting without a grand opening celebration.

Ok, well maybe not exactly a million ways to use ceremonial display cases and shadow boxes. But only because we can’t fit them all here! Imagination is limitless and here at ceremonialsupplies.com we enjoy our work because we help you manifest your ideas. When it comes to ceremonial items, we specialize in supplies for groundbreaking and grand opening ceremonies, military ceremonies, ribbon-cuttings, awards presentations, and all the supplies you will need for a memorable landmark event. Ceremonial display cases and shadow boxes are used to highlight items such as the ceremonial groundbreaking shovel, ribbon-cutting ceremonial scissors, military medals, keepsakes and news clippings, photographs or any other memorabilia from your grand event. Here we share with you some of the many ways to incorporate a ceremonial display case, or a shadow box, into your ceremonial event.

Displaying a Groundbreaking Ceremonial Shovel

Groundbreaking ceremonies usually call for special ceremonial shovels that have a D-shaped handle. This type of handle is decorative and allows for the person holding the shovel to be able to pose for photos, making the customized blade, or head of the shovel pop up clearly for a picture, or for others to see. Using a ceremonial shovel stand display is essential for these occasions because it can be used to hold the dressed ceremonial shovel before it is used in the groundbreaking, and after; keeping it always on display and for the more practical reason of tidiness and organization. Fully dressed groundbreaking shovels on their display stands can be presented with an event banner to create a unique stage for the event’s official photo. For a more sophisticated look, you can also add stanchions, rope, and a carpet runner. The crowd posts also help maintain social distance and keep the traffic of people flowing steadily. The event carpet helps designate an area such as the entrance, and the photo stage. The step and repeat backdrop will clearly identify the name of the company and any other collaborator to the project.

A customized shovel can include not just the logo or brand on the shovel blade, but also an engraved plaque on the stem that can have the name and title of the person who will be using it. Each shovel displayed on its own stand and positioned in front or near the customized step and repeat backdrop ensures brand recognition for photographs and videos or for media use if it will be present. For a classy presentation, use a ceremonial shovel display stand. It will be helpful during the event and is a perfect way for an executive to display his/her groundbreaking shovel in their office or conference room. You can also use the shovel stand strictly for the ceremony and then place the ceremonial shovel in a special display case that makes a great presentation gift to the VIP wielding the groundbreaking tool. Ceremonialsupplies.com offers economical display stands, and beautifully polished shovel display cases in elegant cherry wood, walnut, and other tones.

We tend to associate the ceremonial Key to the City plaque presentations with boring government ceremonies for retiring officials, but here at ceremonialsupplies.com our ceremonial Key to the City plaques have grown in popularity as special, honorary gifts, and we thought we would share with you some of our own personal or favorite 5 Key to the City occasions that are fun and meaningful!

1 - Celebrating An Important Occasion In A Different City?

Disney World in Orlando is the most popular destination for first birthday party celebrations. Mickey Mouse captivates children and parents live for those happy smiles of recognition. We recently worked on an order for a Key to the City plaque that was part of a gift from the granduncle and grandaunt of a cute one year old celebrating a 1st Birthday in Orlando, Florida. The baby and his parents live in Miami and were staying with the elder couple who live in Kissimmee, Florida and who, were hosting a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party for their grandnephew. With a treasure of adorable outfits and toys, the birthday boy received from his granduncle and grandaunt a Kissimmee, Florida Key to the City plaque in honor of celebrating his first birthday in the city. The Key to the City presentation was the final grand point of the celebration after singing Happy Birthday with Mickey! Ceremonialsupplies.com has a selection of awards that feature the most unique and relevant designs on the web. It doesn’t matter if the host city is Miami, Kissimmee, Orlando, or if it's even in Florida, this is simply an example of how a special birthday can be accompanied with a Key to the City plaque to add that special touch that will be remembered by all! The Key to the City in Presentation Box from ceremonialsupplies.com was the item chosen for this 1st Birthday celebration with a photo included!

2 – Give a Key to the City For A ‘Bon Voyage’ To Remember!

The last decades of the Twentieth Century saw travel records worldwide. With the onset of international or global businesses came face-to-face contact with others from around the world. Colleagues and bosses became friends and travel for work opened the door to many lasting friendships maintained long after technology made travel obsolete. One such case was the friendship established between an international business manager in the liquor industry, based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and a Scotch whiskey Salesman, based in Dumbarton, Scotland. After years of working together on market budgets, sales conferences and collaborating on promotional projects the two became friends and the American business manager hosted his Scottish friend and his family for a vacation in the US. Two families from different parts of the world sharing typical family living along with beach outings, camping trips, city shopping and dining, and popcorn and movies at home. When it was time for the Scottish family to return to Scotland, their American friends wanted to send them off with a memorable Bon Voyage party. The party was a small gathering that featured favorite foods, funny memorabilia, and a power point presentation that included pictures and videos of the places the two families visited together during their vacation. At the end of the presentation the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida residents presented their friends from Dumbarton, Scotland with a Key to the City Recognition Plaque, which also included a group photograph along with an engraved text message on the golden inside seal. A fun and meaningful gift that will be treasured among friends for a long time and will bring memories of time well spent! The engraved text was the name of the two families and an annual vacation with the date. Surely a long cherished reminder of a wonderful time, and, once it is hung on a wall or placed in a curio, the Key to the City Recognition Plaque will be a classic conversation piece.

3 – Key to the City Is The Perfect Gift For A Little League Visiting Coach!

What do you give a person who doesn’t know where to put his trophies anymore? Little League or Big League, a good coach makes his presence known by firm decisions, respectful interactions, and anecdotes that leave positive, inspirational impressions in learning minds. Sports and business have the same goal. Play and Win. Of course, there’s lots to do to get from one to the other. There’s the part about enjoying the game, or enjoying the corporate challenges, whichever field a person is coaching. There’s the other part about sharing, serving others, lifting spirits, forging friendships, and ultimately creating lasting memories for all the individuals in a team. Whether it’s a sports team coach or a commercial high-rise construction supervisor, receiving an acknowledgement from a hosting counterpart is a big honor! In the heart of the Miami Financial district there’s a city mall destined for historic posterity. A joint venture company created between the French Construction Company, Bouygues Batiment International, and John Moriarty and Associates built the Brickell City Center project. The construction management firm created was Americaribe Inc., and it included staff from France, from the Caribbean, the United States and other countries. It took a special kind of leadership to manage this impressive project from start to finish, including the ability to lead in several languages! At the intimate grand opening celebration held between new project staff and others who had been working previously for the original two companies, this special person received the Crystal Key tabletop award from his colleagues and employees. This is the kind of ceremonial Key to the City you just can’t miss – especially if it’s displayed on a desktop or mantle top. Shop ceremonialsupplies.com for the Key to the City design that best suits your presentation!

4 – Recognize Local Personalities Who Make a Difference With A Key to the City!

It’s human nature to feel a connection with our city of birth through the people and experiences of those who live or have lived there, especially deep for those who leave their birth place to make it big in the world, and ultimately return to their home town. Celebrities who make a difference are not just musicians and actors. There are people who become national and international personalities because of scientific skills, literary prominence, or by being the best at whatever it is they do. There are heroes from all occupations who make a difference in the lives of their family, friends, neighbors, and fellow compatriots. A great way to honor these outstanding persons is with a ceremonial Key to the City presentation. It’s a great way to recognize those who excel and make their mark in the world, putting their hometown on the map. These ceremonial Key to the City recognitions are mostly done at city level with an official ceremony, or by a city association, or group. For example, Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger receiving the key to his hometown city for his heroic actions on US Airways Flight 1549 for landing on the Hudson River. World famous crooner Frank Sinatra received the key to the city of Hoboken, his birth town, in 1947 at the height of his career. Honoring people who have contributed to the community or society is a long-standing tradition that goes back to medieval times, and had everything to do with the way cities were constructed in those early days. Major cities for example, Toledo, Spain were built on high ground and were surrounded by fortified walls and gates for the people’s safety. When Kings or other dignitaries visited the city of Toledo, they were presented with a key to the gate of the city. The same was done for major merchants so they wouldn’t have to pay “tolls” – the equivalent of duties and taxes of today on imported goods. Today there are no city gates to open, although there are legal ways major companies employ to still avoid paying city taxes, today the Key to the City is not a master key to open any house! A ceremonial Key to the City plaque is a symbolic representation of gratitude and trust, making its honoree a most welcomed person in a city.

5 – A Key to the City to Say ‘Thank You’ to a Contributor

Thanking investors, contributors, and political donors has become a popular public gesture! Presenting a ceremonial Key to the City to international dignitaries from other countries is a common practice, just as is honoring investors or founders of special projects. The basic message conveyed in a Key to the City award presentation is gratitude and it is considered a great honor both to award a Key to the City, and to receive one. However, one odd, particular ‘thank you’ by means of a Key to the City took place in 1980 when the City of Detroit presented a Key to the City to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein for making a then extraordinarily sizable donation to the building of an Iraqi catholic center in the Motor City. Saying ‘thank you’ to those who contribute to the success of a project, be it a government public endeavor or a private enterprise is best said with a Key to the City award plaque or presentation case. Shop our ceremonial keys to the city selection at ceremonialsupplies.com and choose one of our varied styles and price points that best suits your Key to the City presentation and be wowed by our classy products, our friendly and knowledgeable customer service, and our prompt and efficient shipping wherever you are. Party planners and office function organizers will recognize these occasions and others – such as a groundbreaking ceremony for example, as events where VIPs, contributors, investors, builders, commissioners, celebrities, ordinary citizens and dignitaries both national and foreign are thanked for their contribution by receiving the great honor of a ceremonial Key to the City.

Whether for a public building, or private entities, the tradition of first sod-cuttings continue to inspire creative, fun, and entertaining ways to conduct a groundbreaking ceremony in comfort and elegance. Even in the most exquisite and unique sod-cutting ceremonies, some things remain constant and invariable to their success: Timing, Supplies, Execution, and Follow-up. Here’s what to remember about each, for a memorable Idaho groundbreaking ceremony that will shine like a gem!

Timing is the Foundation of Planning

We have all heard the phrase “planning is everything.” This is true, but the foundation of planning is timing. Planning is necessary for the success of any event, venture, or launch. Ancient civilizations had philosophies based on consultation to elders, who in turn would consult the source of their wisdom. “God” or what was known, as god or gods, to the plebian population, was, in some accounts, merely the knowledge of the elements, their functions, and practicing them. Think of CeremonialSupplies.com as those elders with a combined source of wisdom we offer through our salesmanship, our customer service, friendly prices and our prompt and efficient shipping anywhere in Idaho (or any other place that appears on a commercial map!) Plan! Write out the guest list, the media list, the VIP list, the entertainment list, the scope of updating and maintaining the guest list, the budget, the wish list! Write it ALL down. Keep it in a 3-hole binder. Easy to insert paper, easy to tear out. Planning events too far out in advance may cause the event to keep being pushed back and eventually scratched off completely. Planning events under the stress of urgency runs the risk of having the same effect (or worse) than if, you had done nothing at all. Without timing, planning is useless. Last minute contacts to local celebrities or local VIPS sound desperate and people are more hesitant to participate. Contacting the media, from the Idaho Statesman, Idaho State Journal, Coeur d’Alene Press, the Boise Weekly, the Teton Valley News, to the Shoshone News Press, the Idaho Press Tribune and every paper in town won’t matter if the event itself hasn’t garnered interest. Ordering supplies begin as soon as you have a firm date for the event, and if you planned correctly, this would be at least 60 days before the event. Especially if you will be ordering labor-intensive supplies, engraved, printed or embroidered products, or both! CeremonialSupplies.com has an exceptional turn-around time from order to shipment and this has earned us the repeat business of our clients.

Ordering Ceremonial Shovels and Other Supplies

The basic supplies for a groundbreaking or first sod-cutting event are the ceremonial shovels. Ceremonial groundbreaking shovels are different from traditional work shovels because they have a D-handle. The D-handle shovel allows holding the shovel at an angle where imprint on the handle, stem, and on the blade can be best viewed. This is important for a photo or a video. People tend to hold a ceremonial shovel the same way. CeremonialSupplies.com, easily the best one-stop online shop for all your groundbreaking ceremony supplies has the perfect assortment to help you decide. This is why ordering from us is so easy! Stainless-steel groundbreaking shovels are our specialty and our range of stainless-steel shovels includes more than just the Standard Chrome Shovel, the Deluxe Chrome Shovel, the Mirror-Finish VIP Chrome shovel, and the Mirror-Finish VIP Golden shovel! These are full-length 42” high by 9.5” blade ceremonial shovels with D-handles and customization capabilities on the handle, the stem, and the shovel blade. For a more traditional shovel style, we offer the classic long stem shovel, which, aside from proving excellent for tall individuals, can be customized on the stem and the shovel blade. For strongly branded logos or recognizable names, our full color blades do the trick standing on their own, and these can be customized too. Color on color is a labor-intensive process and with the right color and text combination, your groundbreaking shovels will truly be the stars of the show! Display them before and after the groundbreaking ceremony in their own shovel stand display. Dress up the display with accompanying hard hats and festive bows to match! Once you have established the style of groundbreaking shovel or shovels, whichever the case, think of hard hats and safety vests! Our hard hats and safety vests selections includes industry approved safety measurements, and provide an authentic element to the ceremony while offering further branding capabilities to provide customized hard-hats and customized safety-vests. In these days where the lingering effect of the Covid pandemic are still felt, making your employees visible and easy to spot is important for a company an its interaction within the community. Corporate wearables like dress Polo shirts or classic Oxford shirts with printed or embroidered logo are symbols of class and professionalism. A top-notch construction team holding a groundbreaking would look deservedly sharp wearing a company Polo or a company Oxford shirt topped with a customized safety vest for the groundbreaking pictures!

Once you have the basics, everything else is just to take the creativity of the event a notch above and. Idahoan events are known for their class, and “upper crust” elegance and what better way to continue the tradition than by creating a spot for the official guest photo! The ceremonial shovels, dressed with bow and hardhat, placed on their own individual shovel stand will serve the triple purpose of having the groundbreaking shovels at hand, all in one place to retrieve when needed, and a place to hold them again, once the groundbreaking has taken place, and will make an ideal stage for guest photos and videos! Take a look at our groundbreaking shovel kits for easy set-up ideas.

A Project’s Execution is Easy When Everything Is In Place!

The world’s most famous event and party planners all know the trick to flawless execution is to plan everything so it unfolds automatically. One thing ushers another one and thus the flow of the program appears seamlessly conducted. Creativity is key in execution. This means that aside from using all the tools at your disposal to dress up the event, you can explore creativity found in historical places and locations in or surrounding the groundbreaking spot. For example, in 1805 the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery crossed the Continental Divide, at an altitude of 7,373 feet above sea level, through Lehmi Pass, located in the Beaverhead Mountains. This historic event lends itself perfectly for inclusion in a groundbreaking ceremony where a spirit of ruggedness, determination, and longevity is desired. Whatever creative décor you envision, CeremonialSupplies.com can make it materialize for you! We have crowd management stanchions and rope in several styles to help guide your guests throughout the event – and remember, with the option of signs, you can convert any que into an informative hub! From the classic gold-domed stanchions and chrome-urn stanchions, to retractable belt-stanchions and weatherproof PVC plastic hitching-post stanchions, you will find our selection to be the best crowd control posts to meet your needs. With CeremonialSupplies.com assortment of carpet runners and ceremonial carpets, you can use a combination of stanchions and carpet runner to set the stage where the actual groundbreaking will occur. In addition, you can create a Hollywood premiere feel to the event by adding a Step and Repeat backdrop to the presentation stage. This ensures that all photos and videos shot in front of the Step and Repeat essentially become advertising tools after the event as these are shared on Social, Local, National, and International media! Printed wide ribbon runners are excellent to dress up the groundbreaking shovels, the buffet table, chairs, or to create a center bulb on a tent, draping printed color ribbon down the sides. Roll-up banners strategically placed in the four-corners-in formation will further create top of mind awareness among your guests and provides a subliminal continuation of the overall message: “We’re here! In your Community! And we are organized, persistent, hard-working, and grateful!” Ideally, anyway, that should be the message.

All the Work is Useless if There’s No Follow-up

It may be the most talked about groundbreaking event in the history of building construction in Idaho, but if you don’t follow-up with your guests, the special VIPS who offered introductions and speeches, the media, or those who were a critical part of the flow of the program, all your other efforts will be forgotten. Follow-begins the day of the event and it begins by presenting individuals with acknowledgement and recognition. In a groundbreaking ceremony this can be done in a number of ways, including presenting those who took shovel to ground with a display shovel case especially engraved with its own plaque, or the groundbreaking shovel dressed up in its own stand. Local government representatives who attend the groundbreaking and make a commemorative speech or some other type of presentation for the event, are customarily recognized with a plaque or a trophy. Browse our Awards category for a large selection of plaques, trophies and special display cases to honor VIPS at a groundbreaking ceremony. Finally, even the seemingly most insignificant guest can be moved to Ambassadorship for your company with a small token of appreciation. After all, word of mouth is still the most flattering form of publicity! Groundbreaking-shovel pins, printed commemorative ribbons, shovel and rock desk sculptures and other similar goodwill tokens are ideal for souvenirs at a groundbreaking ceremony.

Everything in Texas is big in every way, and we find the Lone Star State rebounding briskly from the Covid 19 pandemic to celebrate groundbreaking ceremonies with bells and whistles! The State of Texas is big on groundbreaking shovels and ceremonial items that take these traditional architectural rituals to a new level using CeremonialSupplies.com.

While the country went through the forced downturn of the economy the Austin and Houston areas barely skipped a beat through the Covid-induced mandates, and the construction industry continued to boom. In Dallas-Ft. Worth, industrial building is moving at record speed and the North Texas warehouse construction is still growing as leasing surges. Building material retailers in Texas are riding a construction wave as the jobs boom experienced in the last four years has actually jumped higher! Even while maintaining “social distance” architectural ceremonies such as groundbreakings, first sod cuttings, and the ritualistic laying of first corner stones in building projects soared, and CeremonialSupplies.com continues to serve the growing needs of Texas booming cities. Providing top of the line ceremonial shovels for groundbreaking ceremonies is not the only service that has skyrocketed for CeremonialSupplies.com. Our hard-earned reputation for budget friendly prices, exceptional customer service, and fast and dependable timely shipping have everything to do with our presence in the region. We know how important a groundbreaking or a grand opening is in the life of a company and we take pride in guiding our customers, many who are organizing a first sod cutting ceremony or a grand opening for the first time, with ideas that help them create an exceptional event and ultimately save money. Here are a few basics for conducting a groundbreaking event in the great State of Texas:

Early Planning

Heard the phrase “planning is everything?” We will let you in on a secret: it is! We have all managed to pull through at the 11th hour at one point or another, facts are that putting things off end up costing more money and sometimes not getting what we want. The first stage of planning a groundbreaking ceremony or a grand opening is to start with a program that indicates what will be taking place, where, and when. Who will be making speeches? How many people will be holding a groundbreaking shovel? Who will cut a grand opening ribbon? When the program is clear on the screen (or on paper), the materials and supplies needed for each part of the program are much easier to determine. Next is a list of guest, attendants, VIPs and, of course, the media. Exposure means profit. It isn’t for the fun of spending that companies pay millions of dollars to advertise their services or products on TV during say, the Super Bowl. Investment in exposure pays off so reach out to The Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Express-News, Houston Chronicle, El Paso Times, Dallas Express, The Austin Chronicle, Houston Press, Fort Worth Weekly, Houston Post, Dallas Observer, Fort Worth Star-Telegram or any other local Texas paper. Remember the media follows celebrities and VIPs. Be sure to include those in your guest list for media coverage assurance. This means inviting the Mayor, your Congress representative, Senator, Chief of Police, and local celebrities!

Ordering Groundbreaking Ceremonial Supplies

This is the most important step of your planning process and important to do it as early as possible. Late decisions mean late shipping and that means more cost to you, or having to cut out other things to stay within budget. For a first sod-cutting ceremony, your essential supplies will be the groundbreaking shovels. CeremonialSupplies.com has a win-win assortment of ceremonial shovels that range from the traditional, long stem to the ceremonial D-handle shovels of various color heads or polished steel. All CeremonialSupplies.com shovels have stainless steel blades with different polishing methods, of which the most labor intensive are the mirror-polished chrome steel shovel and the mirror-polished golden steel. Our complete assortment of ceremonial groundbreaking shovels, including our color blades and the miniature groundbreaking kids shovels can be customized with a company logo, and are of the highest standards so there is no need to sacrifice quality for pricing. We know this is ceremony; you will be receiving a truly finely crafted quality product that will reflect your company’s image.

In a groundbreaking ceremony, the ceremonial shovels are the stars of the event and as such, should command a focal point. A perfect way to hold and display the groundbreaking shovel or shovels, depending on the number of people who will be doing the actual first sod cutting and breaking of ground, is by placing them on their own shovel stand. This enables you to create a photo area by dressing up the groundbreaking shovel with the hard hat to be used by the person wielding the shovel, and a big bow in a color that matches your logo, for example. This is a simple, basic setup. For a more elaborate photo or greeting area using the ceremonial shovels on their stands you can include a backdrop step and repeat and a carpet runner. For a large event, the use of roll-up banners and other decorations such as balloons, flowers, or wide ribbon runners will further bring together the entire décor. With CeremonialSupplies.com, you also have the option to create a beautiful ceremonial area with generic supplies or customized with personalized engraving. This is something to consider when working with a frugal budget. Browse CeremonialSupplies.com website for a complete description of all the ceremonial supplies for groundbreakings and let your imagination be your guide!

Make Your Personnel Visible during the Groundbreaking Ceremony

This is especially important now with the lingering effects of Covid-19 regulations and mandates. Whether to greet the guests and hand out souvenirs, offer refreshments and hors d’oeuvres, or putting the ceremonial shovel to the dirt, there’s an air of organization, togetherness, and teamwork when the personnel involved in the groundbreaking ceremony is dressed in recognizable uniform or colors. Our corporate wearables range from comfortable tees, to the classic Polo shirts or long-sleeve classic Oxfords with embroidered logo options. Customized safety vests, combined with your choice of tops will be an elegant eye-catching part of your entire décor – yes, people are walking billboards! Use every opportunity to create awareness. It’s the real reason why groundbreaking ceremonies are conducted these days. You want to shout out to the world that your company is building in the neighborhood!

Acknowledge and Thank those who Participate

Goodwill goes a long way – sometimes all the way to Congress! Everyone likes to be recognized. This is something we learned in Kindergarten when we received stickers for our good work. As adults, something as simple as a plaque, or a desk trophy boosts our confidence and the recognition of our hard work empowers us to strive for higher goals. If you’ve done your work correctly your event Program should list, in order, what will happen from the start of the ceremony to the finish, and this includes welcome and greeting, introductions, and speeches. The owner or owners of the company, President, CEO, Managing Director, General Manager or similar high ranking positions will be the ones holding a ceremonial shovel and breaking ground. Whether you have 2 people or 20, they each should get to keep the ceremonial shovel they use. A customized shovel on its own stand with any other adornments is a valuable keepsake for the recipient. This means that not only would you have used the ceremonial shovel display as part of the décor, its promotional life will continue in someone’s office or conference room. Another way of protecting and displaying the ceremonial shovel is with a shadow case display that can hold the actual groundbreaking shovel or a miniature version of it and includes a commemorative plaque and other customization options. Contractors, architects, and builders will most likely have a representative in attendance, as will the city or county government. CeremonialSupplies.com has a selection of plaques that are perfect to thank and acknowledge these individuals for their contribution. These include key to the city plaques and groundbreaking shovel plaques. In addition, you can also choose to honor speakers, presenters, and VIPs with any of our stunning desk trophies. Browse through our wide selection of plaques, trophies, and medals for the item that is most appropriate to your event.

Cultivate your Contacts

The importance of a well maintained guest and media list doesn’t end at the event. It becomes your final instrument of goodwill as you follow-up with photographs and videos taken during the groundbreaking ceremony and email to your guests. You can also mail these physically instead of electronically, but as a rule of thumb people prefer to keep these things digitally on their computer for the sharing capabilities among other reasons. And that’s what you want! Share! Share! Share! Let the world know of your groundbreaking ceremony. You should of course follow up with the media also by doing the same, especially if the media contact was enjoying himself or herself too much to think of photos and videos! They will certainly appreciate the professional (and proper) gesture. By following up with your guests and media contacts you will be establishing a familiarity that will serve you well for any other event in the future.

CeremonialSupplies.com, the best online supply shop for recognition awards for Florida groundbreaking ceremony and any other ceremony anywhere in the world, is proud to introduce our lineup of trophies, medals, plaques and ceremonial keys for the new year. 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 called for.

There are awards that get passed down from one honoree to the next, there are others that carry the name of a founder or a first honoree such as the Cy Young plaque that is awarded to the best pitcher in major league baseball. 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 act of recognizing 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 each competition. 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!

Groundbreaking Trophy and Recognition Plaques

A groundbreaking ceremony just like any corporate event, will undoubtedly involve speeches and dedications. 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 just the right 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. This type of award presentation is goal and motivation oriented as it builds morale and recognizes efforts over and beyond the call of duty. 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 has a variety of Key to the City presentations to meet your requirements because we understand how significant it is to especially recognize those who have traveled from distant places to partake in the special event, whether a groundbreaking, a grand opening, or a corporate conference.

Medals for Individual Award Recognition

Florida is big on medals! Especially when recognizing it’s favorite pastime sport: little league baseball! With teams like the Miami Tigers and the Doral Little League, award medals at CeremonialSupplies.com are on high demand. Our medals can be for sports and much more, and include the Commitment to Excellence diamond star design and the Excellence in Leadership medal, as well as other specially designed medals for different industries and occasions, including military medals. Corporate clients often opt for presenting a department or team leader with a display trophy for the office, and individual medals for the team members. This type of recognition of a team effort is also something construction crews, engineers, and architects attached to a groundbreaking ceremony would be pleased to receive in acknowledgement of their contribution toward the building of a structure, which is after all, what is being commemorated in a groundbreaking ceremony. The Construction Teamwork Medal is specifically designed for groundbreakings and is a popular item for CeremonialSupplies.com. Another popular medal is the Special Thanks medal, a generic design that serves to acknowledge and thank special contributors in groundbreakings, grand openings, corporate, or other sales conference events. As the need for precaution and safety continue to be top of the list in Florida and the rest of the nation with regard to the Covid 19 virus, it is important to encourage and motivate personnel and staff to follow the safety guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus. The Safety Through Teamwork medal is an ideal recognition for individuals who take the initiative in following the rules to fight Covid 19.
