A groundbreaking ceremony is a big event by all standards. It's a landmark accomplishment and should be treated as such, and though it might not be clear at first what supplies you will need to organize a first rate event, if you're having a groundbreaking in Nebraska? Here's a quick guide from CeremonialSupplies.com. Aside from our high quality crafted groundbreaking shovels, hard hats and other products, we offer an essential guide customized for Nebraska! The state once called "The Great American Desert," and after J. Sterling Morton founded Arbor Day in Nebraska in 1872 it was called "Tree Planter's State," and in 1945 the nickname that stuck is the "Cornhusker State." Known for many things, including a lighthouse without an ocean in Ashland; a restaurant chain, Runza, exclusive only to Nebraska; and "Archie" the largest mammoth skeleton ever found, on a farm in Lincoln County in 1922 and now on display in the University of Nebraska State Museum, and the home of the "Wizard of Omaha," humble billionaire Warren Buffet. With so much to inspire a first ground cutting, it's easy to lose sight of what must be done first, and this means planning!

The Planning Stage of a Nebraska Groundbreaking Ceremony

We know you've heard it time and again but early planning is the key to a successful event. Envisioning the event in your heard is not enough. Put pen to paper and write down details. Start with dates. Some people use their city's local event calendar to make sure the date of the groundbreaking ceremony doesn't compete with other popular events. For example, the Lincoln, Nebraska Convention and Visitors Bureau has a pretty complete local calendar of events. Once you have settled on a date, next thing is create your guest list and create the invitation. Company VIPs, out of town guests, local government officials and media, (or national and international personalities, depending the reach of your event) are all guests you want to include. Tip: Obtaining a formal acceptance by a local government official, like Lincoln's mayor Chris Beutler, or a well-known celebrity or personality will guarantee the media's attendance to cover your event.

Creating and maintaining a media list sounds archaic to young entrepreneurs but really, create one. You will communicate easier and more often when you have an actual list. Local community papers are important for your business. Make sure you include them in your list. Nebraska has a number of city papers that are also distributed statewide, like the Lincoln Journal Star, Fremont Tribune, the Nebraska City News-Press, Omaha World-Herald and Omaha Daily Bee, the Norfolk Daily News, the Columbus Telegram, Kearney Hub, McCook Gazette and Hastings Tribune, just to name the top ones.

You've prepared a media list and have the invitations ready to mail. Here's another tip: Make phone calls. Don't fear the phone. Especially that Nebraska has a world-wide reputation for epitomizing the humble soul of the people from America's prairies and plains. Guests are more likely to respond to an invitation when they are contacted personally prior to receiving the invite. Use online tools like Eventbrite.com and other similar platforms where you can engage and keep track of guests and use feedback and comments to stir interest in your groundbreaking event.

Get Your Ceremonial Supplies On Time!

We can't repeat enough how much time and money you will save with early ordering, not to mention stress and anxiety! Especially if you want your groundbreaking shovels and the ceremonial hard hats customized with a logo or text, or personalized ribbons and presentation plaques. Yes, we have been known to perform miracles "need it by yesterday" turn around, but we prefer to rely on your good planning instead. Remember the customization process can take 2 or 3 days depending on the quantity being ordered. The rule of thumb is to give yourself at least 2 weeks prior to the event to get groundbreaking shovels customized, especially if you will need a quantity of 15 or 20 logo customized shovels. Also, if you're ordering a personalized ribbon spool of 50 yards, or 100 customized ceremonial hard hats (which are manufactured to construction industry standards), or a step and repeat banner, keep in mind our printing process is so awesome because it's labor intensive and handled with professional care. Choosing the ceremonial groundbreaking shovel (or shovels, depending on the number of people who will be involved in the ceremony) is one of the first supplies to order. If a large group is expected to take part in the cutting of ground, you may want to opt for the standard, stainless steel, polished chrome style ceremonial shovel, and maybe one or two VIP mirror chromed sod-cutting shovels if principals of the company will want to preserve and display them. The most important thing is to give yourself plenty of time to order. Not sure about the timing? Give us a call 1-877-373-4273 or contact us here for details.

The Basics For A Groundbreaking Ceremony

You have a confirmed list of prominent guests, the mayor will be present and will give a dedication speech, the food and refreshments have been ordered, and the tent will be delivered at the groundbreaking location the day of the event. A popular idea for decorating the tent inside is to drape wide ribbons outward from the center of the tent and have them hang down the sides. The ribbons should reflect the company or logo colors. An additional touch that serves as keepsake and decoration is to personalize smaller size ribbons with the name of the event and the date and use these to dress up the tables. It's a good idea to designate an area for official photographs and to do this as people first walk in to avoid bottlenecking and allow a constant flow of people into the event. A step and repeat banner with your company logo and that of any affiliates will give the event residual promotional momentum, especially if there will be media present. Everyone loves to feel like a star and standing on a red carpet aisle runner in front of the step and repeat banner, with stanchions and rope guiding the way to the photo area will surely do it! CeremonialSupplies.com is proud to carry a selection of plush, luxurious, event carpet runners in the traditional crimson red, in blue, green aisle runner, regal purple, elegant black, and femininely empowered pink aisle carpet. Combine the best color to go with your logo or theme.

The ceremonial shovels are the big stars of the event, and having them fully dressed with matching hard hat and bow on their individual shovel display stands will create another photo opportunity for the VIPs and guests, and the stands come in handy for placing the shovels after the sod-cutting ceremony. All the ceremonial shovels carried by CeremonialSupplies.com are full size, 42" tall with a 9.5" blade, made of stainless steel that will not rust or stain and the styles range from Standard, polished chrome and wood handle to the Deluxe, polished chrome with wood and metal handle, VIP mirror polished blade with wood and steel handle, the traditional long stem with polished chrome, and a fun selection of colorful ceremonial shovels in blue, green, pink, red, yellow, and orange, and we also offer groundbreaking kids shovels in mini size 26" tall and a 6" blade, for children taking part in the sod-cutting ceremony. All our groundbreaking shovels can be customized with a logo or text on the blade, the stem, the handle, or all three.

Wherever you are in the farmland of America, from Harrison, to Norfolk, Fremont, Omaha, Lincoln, or tiny Monowi, CeremonialSupplies.com has the groundbreaking shovels, and all the supplies you need for your groundbreaking ceremony, and we ship promptly and efficiently to Nebraska, and everywhere else in the world.

Montana's Mining and Groundbreaking Shovels History

Montana's history of mining gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and coal mining goes back 155 years when a prospector scooped up a bit of gold near Silver Bow Creek. The sensational news traveled quickly and in a short time hundreds of potential tycoons swarmed the banks of Silver Bow Creek. At first the mining was concentrated in Bannack and Virginia City but the growing number of miners spread out searching for new, virgin gold fields. But gold wasn't the only ore mined in Montana, as different geological areas produced different metals. Virginia City, Marysville, and Bannack is where most of the gold mining took place; Philipsburg was a silver and manganese mining town, and Butte mined copper - which became the wealth of Montana with the advent of electricity and its high demand for copper. The inevitable movement of people who followed the prospectors, were the banks, and though it's hard to say if groundbreaking shovels played a part in both groundbreakings and actual digging, we do know the area was considered the richest in America around 1917, and though the days when William Rockefeller benefitted from the 20.8 billion pounds of copper produced in Butte are long gone, they are not forgotten, at least not by the Mineral Museum or the World Museum of Mining, both in Butte. Montana's mining industry today supports over 12,500 permanent year-round jobs with an average annual earnings upwards of $85,000. Pretty good for an untamed and wild environment!

Boasting the lowest unemployment rate in the country, Colorado had a strong economy last year and shows no signs of slowing down in 2019. A magnet for tech startups, rich in resources and grazing soil, it looks like the Centennial State's booming economy will be ushering in ceremonial groundbreaking shovels for Colorado's seitz soil! The state joined the union on August 1, 1876, one hundred years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and thus nick-named the "Centennial" State. Topping Colorado's industries driving the economy are technology, agriculture, real estate, and tourism. This means more people, more businesses, and more groundbreaking ceremonies. In the state where the air is the thinnest, and mountains are the highest, here are a few tips on how to make your groundbreaking ceremony in Colorado a memorable occasion for everyone, when the time comes for speeches and dedications.

Bringing Prehistoric Colorado Alive At A Groundbreaking Ceremony

The human history of Colorado can be traced to more than 14,000 ago. When conducting a groundbreaking ceremony, in addition to the ceremonial groundbreaking shovels, the hard hats, the stand and display cases for the groundbreaking ceremonial shovel, keepsakes and decorations, it is also customary to have speeches and dedications presented by VIPs, local government officials, and personalities of prominence. Remembering and recounting the prehistoric past of Colorado is a powerful way to get the involvement and attention of the guests and attendees. For example, located just 17 miles by car from Denver, you can find the small municipality of Morrison, where in "Dinosaur Ridge," tracks and other dinosaur fossils are visible along the hillside off Alameda Parkway. There have been so many species of dinosaurs discovered at Dinosaur Ridge that the Stegosaurus was named the state fossil of Colorado! And this is not the only place either! There's the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center in Woodland Park, and the paleontological site of Garden Park in Fremont County, Colorado known for its Jurassic dinosaurs and the role the specimens played in the Bone Wars, aka the Great Dinosaur Rush, marked by the intense scientific rivalry between paleontologists Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope. Locations of prehistoric significance make for great introductions in dedicatory speeches in a groundbreaking ceremony, after all, it's interesting to consider what lies beneath the sod-cutting.

If old dinosaur bones aren't the right topic for your groundbreaking ceremony in Colorado, you might want to reference it's altitude! The highest mean elevation of any state at 6,800'. Alma, located in Park County, Colorado at 10,578 feet, is the highest incorporated municipality in the US with permanent residents - although they're not many. Other high altitude areas are Blanca Peak, the highest summit of the Sierra Blanca Massif, the Sangre de Cristo Range, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and it's located near the town of Alamosa.

Dinosaur bones and the Rocky Mountains are themes that can easily be incorporated into a groundbreaking speech or a dedication in Colorado, but if you'd like to reference other notable facts about the Centennial State, there are plenty! For example The prestigious US Air Force Academy is in Colorado Springs; Colfax Avenue in Denver is the longest continuous street in America; the hymn "America the Beautiful" was inspired by the view from Pikes Peak; Pueblo, Colorado is the only city in America with four living recipients of the Medal of Honor; Dove Creek is the "Pinto Bean" capital of the world, and Rocky Ford is the "melon capital of the world"; and shootout at the OK corral survivor, dentist, gambler, and gunslinger extraordinaire, John Henry "Doc" Holiday succumbed to tuberculosis in Glenwood Springs.

Regardless what your groundbreaking ceremony's theme is for the dedication speeches, the essential items will be a breeze to organize, especially that you can count on CeremonialSupplies.com and shop our varied styles of groundbreaking shovels, all stainless steel that will not rust - ever. You can choose from our line of full-size shovels 41" high with a 9.5" wide blade, standard chrome groundbreaking shovel with wood D-style handle, or our deluxe, polished chrome sod-cutting shovel with wood and metal D-style handle, the traditional long stem, polished chrome blade shovel, or the mirror polished chrome ceremonial groundbreaking shovel which is the top of the line for a presentation shovel that will be preserved and displayed. For a more colorful groundbreaking ceremony we also offer full-size groundbreaking shovels with your choice of color blade in blue, green, red, yellow, orange, and pink. As more children join their parents in the landmark occasion of a first ground cutting ceremony, CeremonialSupplies.com also offers the perfect sized groundbreaking shovel for the little people! See our selection of colorful mini groundbreaking kids shovels 26" high and a 6" wide blade, and coordinate adult size and groundbreaking kids shovels for a colorful groundbreaking ceremony!

With ever expanding theme creativity and weeks away from prom season, teenagers across the country will dress up, rent a limo to go to their last high school dance. In Florida, this tradition is celebrated with passion, glamour, and extravagance and if anyone wants to duplicate the Sunshine State's panache for over the top, CeremonialSupplies.com is here to help you with the essentials for a Florida red carpet prom! CeremonialSupplies.com has been providing red event carpets (and blue, green, purple, black, and pink aisle runners too!) crowd management stanchions and rope, and step and repeat banners for proms in South Florida and all across the country for a long time, and the most important thing after securing the venue, is obtaining the must have items that will raise the bar. This is where we come in. CeremonialSupplies.com is the best one-stop shop online to get all your prom supplies for this annual tradition. But how did this tradition begin in the first place? And what exactly are the essentials for a grand red carpet prom?

The History of Prom

Prom is short for "Promenade," which means a pathway, or walkway as one may see along the beach, or boardwalk, and refers to formally introducing a person or more into society, such as a debutante ball when the guests of honor parade into the ballroom, for example. This formal introduction parade, or promenade, began in America in the late 1800's in colleges and universities and more specifically, in Ivy League schools where early mentions cite a traditional, formal presentation, during which guests were dressed in black tie and gowns and where there was dancing and a concert. There's an early reference to prom in an 1894 diary entry made by a young, male student from Amherst College, where he recounts an invitation to attend a prom at Smith College. At the turn of the century, these formal presentation events spread to high schools, and by the 30's prom flourished into an American tradition. From its early beginnings in school auditoriums decorated with signs and ribbons to dinners with bands, red carpet, stanchions, and step and repeat backdrop banners, prom has come a long way.

Planning and Executing a Great Red Carpet Prom in Florida

Putting on a dinner party takes planning and organization so imagine a prom that involves hundreds of young people. The senior student body and school administration are usually the organizers of a prom dance in Florida and most likely, everywhere else. The time to plan? As soon as the school year starts. At this point you're looking to determine the budget, and the venue. How will your school raise the funds, and, where will you spend it? Florida's climate, especially South Florida communities along the Gold Coast from Daytona, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Miami Beach, and the Florida Keys have the advantage of outdoor venues that were either built for, or have been revamped for tourism. A prom night at the Coral Castle for instance, or at Jungle Island have the benefit of immersion in natural decor, and in the case of Homestead's yet unexplained construction of Coral Castle, a supernatural vibe. Then there's Miami Beach with a plethora of themed, ocean front hotels that boast spectacular ballrooms perfect for prom!

Faena Hotel, which has overtaken the famed Delano for a museum-like inspired decor is Miami's newest sensation. The Faena, located on 32nd and Collins in Miami Beach, provides everything you need to house a one-of-a-kind South Florida prom! From live productions entertainment, to an artsy environment that boasts a theater setting for costume dances, an artist-designed roller skating rink, and the gilded skeleton of a woolly mammoth on display in the garden of the hotel. Cape Canaveral Port, Fort Lauderdale Port, and the cruise capital of the world, the Port of Miami, are home to the world's fanciest cruise ships and yet another option for a South Florida prom venue where everything from red carpet to entertainment is provided. Thanks to Florida's all-around temperate climate, picking a location best suited for the excitement of prom is only limited by the number of bake sales, car washes, and fundraisers to meet the budget! The first order of business is to start planning as soon as the school year begins.

What's the Red Carpet For And, What About Keepsakes?

Technically, it isn't just one red carpet you will need for a Florida prom, nor does the walkway of gods and goddesses need to be red either. Combining a royal blue carpet runner, or an emerald green aisle carpet, richly textured purple aisle runner, or the all-femininely empowering pink event carpet with your school's colors is essential to bring the prom's decoration together. Imagine Miami Senior High's prom entrance on a brilliant, blue carpet with surrounding decor in gold? Perhaps befitting to the Faena's location near the golden woolly mammoth! Or Miami Killian High laying out the green carpet at the nature-laden Jungle Island, or Orchid Jungle? And how regal a Southwest Miami High purple carpet runner can look! CeremonialSupplies.com has a selection of high-quality, trimmed-finished, floor-hugging carpet runners to match your school color, all of them at budget friendly prices, and with our flawless shipping wherever you are in Florida or anywhere else in the world, you get your supplies promptly. The second red carpet belongs by the official step and repeat banner that has your school's insignia and the graduating class year. Just like a Hollywood premiere, students get their picture taken in front of the step and repeat and everyone walks away with a memento of the landmark event. Framing the carpet aisle runners at the entrance and at the step and repeat with the classic golden dome top stanchions and velvet rope of matching color is the icing on the cake! Personalized ribbons are a perfect prom keepsake. Customized ribbons with the school name and graduating year can be arranged in different sizes, available from 2" wide up to 10" wide, to decorate tables, attached to helium balloons, or dripping from the dance floor ceiling. The personalized ribbons serve the dual purpose of fancy decoration and a keepsake memento that like the photographs, create an unforgettable event.

Whether you live in sunny, bright, balmy Florida, or anywhere else in the country, the steps for organizing a stunning red carpet prom are the same: plan, organize, and count on CeremonialSupplies.com for friendly priced event carpet runners, stanchions and rope, step and repeat banners and personalized ribbons.

Prom season is next month! Getting ready for their first public, social affair is a big deal for South Florida high school seniors. Many will be experiencing their first tuxedo and first formal gown, first limo ride and first time allowed to bypass a midnight curfew. Maybe. As students prepare for their last school dance by over taking the extravagance of previous year's prom, schools are preparing too, and especially when it comes to the perfect carpet runner for South Florida's best proms, CeremonialSupplies.com has just the right crimson pathway for these young gods and goddesses! Our plush, deluxe event carpet aisle runners are perfect for the grandiose productions South Florida graduating teenagers are organizing these days.

Last year South Florida's Christopher Columbus High School, a local, private South Florida high school included a real, caged tiger at prom night as part of their theme "Welcome to The Jungle." And whilst we know a caged tiger doesn't belong on the dance floor, it does prove that prom productions are getting to be as lavish as your imagination dares! Northwestern Senior High, Norland, Miami Southridge, William H Turner "Turner Tech", Booker T. Washington, and Miramar Senior High students went all out with some of the most sensational outfits seen on this side of the Academy Awards, with some students wearing bejeweled masks, hot rod emblazoned fire flamed tux, others drove up in exotic cars that matched their fantasy-styled, ultra glamorous garments, and in all, these young stars were shining brightly as they made their grand entrance. The more complex and extravagant the themes, the more reason to take the grand entrance up a notch with wide and long red carpet - or one of the other brilliant colors that match school colors like our deep blue carpet runner, the emerald green aisle carpet, the elegant black carpet, feminine empowering pink, and the regal purple aisle runner. These quality crafted deluxe event carpet runners are plush and luxurious and they're strong and sturdy for repeated use as long as they're taken care of and safely stored when not being used.

South Florida Prom Glam On The Red Carpet

The great thing about living and growing up in South Florida communities is that young people strive to support each other. Especially the young ladies, and one way they do this for example, is by treating high achieving seniors to make-overs for prom. New Level Excellence is a non-profit organization that steps up to help seniors who have excelled academically, held jobs, and will be going to college or joining the armed forces by helping them get their glam on for the red carpet prom by providing prom dresses, shoes, accessories, make-up, and hair styling as well as participating in a photo shoot. The radiant Northwestern High ladies made a stunning red carpet entrance, along with the rest of the student body for a spectacular prom that definitely ranks in South Florida's best! Remember that a red carpet walk does a lot more than create an attractive entrance - it uplifts the entire feel and decor of any event and CeremonialSupplies.com has the perfect event carpet runner for your glamorous prom. Choose from our standard ceremonial red carpet or royal blue event carpet runner, our ceremonial kit with red event aisle runner and classic brass stanchions with red velvet rope, or any of our colorful deluxe event carpet runners in red, blue, green, black, pink and purple. Sizes vary and you can even choose your favorite color event runner in the width and length that best suits your entrance decor.

Miami High is one of the oldest schools in South Florida with distinguished alumni that includes Gil Amelio, CEO of Apple Computer; Desi Arnaz, bandleader, actor, TV producer, and star of I Love Lucy; John Dasburg, CEO of Burger King; Bob Graham, Governor of Florida and US Senator; Veronica Lake, silver screen star of the 40s; and Roscoe Parrish, NFL wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers. The theme for Miami High's 2018 prom was "A Night In 20's Paris" and the prom was held at the Treetop Ballroom in Jungle Island, (in retrospect the venue would have better suited Columbus High's theme) where the graduating seniors enjoyed a red carpet prom entrance, as well as a night of fun, dancing, and photos. Take your South Florida prom to a higher level by including a glamorous red carpet arrival with stanchions and rope, a step and repeat banner with your high school logo or mascot for the official photo, and the rest will fall into place. CeremonialSupplies.com has all the products to make your South Florida prom night shine and be one of the best! Our prices are budget friendly, our customer service is attentive and knowledgeable, and our shipping is prompt and efficient. This prom season prepare your South Florida graduating seniors for the walk of the gods upon our plush event carpet aisle runners!

Apparently there is such a thing as the best prom in America and it looks like Pennsbury High in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania has been putting it on every year since 2012! Making a name for themselves by inviting high-profile celebrities for the dance, the Pennsylvania school has featured guests John Mayer, Asher Roth, Maroon 5, and Root's percussionist Quest Love. This is how you do it! Best Prom in America's Pennsbury Prom red carpet arrival parade kicks off the annual event that has become famous for putting on a great show! Can you imagine a prom photo with John Mayer?! (That someday you'll be showing your grandkids, like all grandparents do!)

The Red Carpet Aisle Runner At High School Prom!

Good luck to all graduates, and may they bask in the red carpet aisle runner at high school prom night! Let's be honest, all high schools put on a prom, and although the days of auditorium prom dances have long ago been replaced with hotel ballrooms and ballroom carpets, the most exciting part of the last high school dance, is actually the limo ride. Mundane. Not for this Philadelphia high school whose mission is to "recognize their proud tradition and diverse community and prepare all students to become creative, ethical, and critical thinkers for lifelong success in a global society." We suspect the kind of effort this statement promotes will prepare students for success in a galactic society as well! A mission with such fundamentally constructive ideals says much about the principles the graduating students of Pennsbury High propose to practice into virtues. No wonder CeremonialSupplies.com is the go-to online shop for event carpet runners! We love ceremonies and take special pride in being providers of the finest crafted red carpet aisle runners for prom dance, graduations, and all other meaningful occasions, and it's students like the ones from Pennsbury High who encourage us to want to lay the crimson pathway of the gods at their feet. Our prices are budget friendly, our customer service is knowledgeable and attentive, and we ship promptly and efficiently anywhere! Hear that Pennsbury High School?

On The Red Carpet Everybody Is A Star At The Promenade "Prom" Dance

Yup. That's what it's called, and in its early days it was similar to debutante ball, where teenagers dressed up formally for the first time and attended their first social event. These first, special occasions are themed in many ways and this is where Pennsbury stands out! Each year the graduating class improves upon the past ones, but one thing remains constant, the red carpet walk - that special walkway that makes everybody a star at the prom dance! It used to be that a 3' wide or 4' wide red carpet runner of 10' in length was considered a luxurious entrance to the dance, today, taking its cue from major productions such as the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes, high school prom productions use up to 6' wide and 50' long red carpet, relegating to 8th graders the smaller size version aisle runner. The point is giving the student the platform to beam in their first real dress up affair because on the red carpet everybody is a star at the prom dance!

Groundbreakings where kids participate have a way of inspiring our sense that these kids will someday be all grown up and embark on groundbreakings of their own. Groundbreaking ceremonies are symbolic gestures that go back, some say, to King Solomon's times, when the consecration of ground, which is essentially what happens at a first sod-cutting, involved all sorts of obscure sacrifices and complex rituals. Today modern man has found significant ways to anoint the ground upon which he hopes to build. One of these is involving the children of the main people who will be shoveling first dirt at a groundbreaking ceremony by having them stand alongside their parent and hold their own mini groundbreaking kids shovels. CeremonialSupplies.com understands the importance of landmark moments that honor traditions and encourage young kids to participate in projects with physical and visual impact in neighborhoods and communities. A quick review of photos and videos where a parent and their child are standing side by side with groundbreaking shovel in hand, provides inspiration for a wholesome future.

Groundbreaking Kid Shovels

Whether it's a family business, a corporate expansion, or a public structure, including kids in a groundbreaking ceremony is not just a way to give them something to do that doesn't involve their phone, it's a way to plant seeds of success in their young minds. The parent is most likely the owner, a partner, a high stakes shareholder, or the CEO and dressed in business attire, and standing next to them for the official groundbreaking ceremony photos their kids, wearing a miniature version of the same attire, or same color shirt to match CEO mom or dad's business suit, makes for the kind of keepsake that stands the test of time. Aside from dressing alike, the touch that makes this moment symbolic is the groundbreaking shovel and the message imparted in its logo, color, and shape. CeremonialSupplies.com has a selection of finely crafted, stainless steel groundbreaking shovels priced for every budget. Full size ceremonial shovels are 41" in height and the blade's width is 9.5" and have a D-Style handle. This handle is what differentiates ceremonial shovels, which are held in a specific position for the ceremony, photos and videos, from the traditional working shovels that are actually used to move dirt around. At Ceremonial.Supplies.com we have both, and more! The long stem traditional groundbreaking shovel has a stainless steel blade with polished chrome finish for elegant customization while maintaining the working shovel design. For more variation, we also have a full size line of colorful groundbreaking shovels in blue, red, orange, green, yellow and pink and a line of groundbreaking kid shovels that measure 26" in height, with a blade with of 6". These groundbreaking kid shovels are available in blue, red, green, yellow, orange, pink, and teal and both the full size groundbreaking colorful shovels and the groundbreaking kid shovels can be customized directly on the stem, with an engraving plate that is placed on the stem, on the handle, on the blade or all three! For the colorful groundbreaking shovels, logos look best when it's one single color on color. There are a few exceptions where a multiple colored logo will look good over blue, red, and yellow colored shovel blades.

Before the actual ceremony your ceremonial groundbreaking shovels can be dressed with hard hats and giant bow, and placed on display stands. After the sod-cutting takes place they can go back on the display. The ceremonial shovels on display create another perfect area for photographs of the event if you haven't designated a step and repeat location. Standing next to the groundbreaking shovels on display before the ceremony while the shovels are adorned with ribbons or bows and hard hats makes for a long lasting keepsake of the occasion. CeremonialSupplies.com offers the "Essential Groundbreaking Kit" that includes the ceremonial shovel, its stand, and a hard hat each.
