Celebrate New Beginnings with Ceremonial Shovels
Nothing marks the beginning of a new construction project like a ceremonial groundbreaking shovel taken to the ground. That first dig is special because it officially initiates a meaningful task involving many individuals and endless hours of hard work just to plan. Just as that day is special, so is the groundbreaking shovel you use to perform the traditional ceremony. Commemorativeshovels should stand out from the typical tool shed line-up. A shiny chrome finished blade and a sturdy but delicately polished wooden shaft are a familiar sight at groundbreakings; absolutely not the quality and style you would find at a construction site. And even though groundbreaking shovels seem to be “just for show” on the day of the groundbreaking, their look will have long-lasting effects.
Why a Special Shovel?
Ceremonial shovels are the most basic tool used at a groundbreaking event; without them, there is no proper way to perform a commemorative groundbreaking in the first place. The reason you host a special gathering to kick off your construction project is because there are important people to recognize and thank in the public eye. Media should be present along with important audience members to whom the project is relevant. At this point, the groundbreaking is considered a formal event. Just as when you attend a wedding with formal attire, a ceremonial groundbreaking calls for special “outfits,” not just referring to the appearance of audience members and the ceremony participants, but also the tools used. The shiny metallic commemorative shovel spade and furniture quality wooden handle are the equivalent of an elegant tuxedo. This is the type of shovel you or your event’s participants should have in hand when in the spotlight.
Ceremonial Groundbreaking shovels are usually preserved and displayed as a trophy that represents your success. This is why you should not simply settle for a regular shovel to perform at such a special occasion. After the event, it is customary to preserve the shovel in a display case along with other mementos of the ceremony and pictures of the gathering. It will be a reminder of the proud day to you and a sample of the great accomplishments of your organization. Whether your company is expanding into new territory or planning the construction of a new facility, groundbreakings are the best way to celebrate that giant leap. Remember it with the adequate ceremonial groundbreaking shovel.
Types of Shovels
As long as your Ceremonial Shovel is specially made for Groundbreakings, you are making a solid choice. However, some variations of the shovel are available for your preference. Naturally, prices will vary based on the detail and the materials they are made from, but your choice will depend on how elaborate you want the design to be. Take our deluxe shovels for instance, they are designed with the same shape and functional qualities of a work shovel, but the chrome finish on the spade and the matching D-shaped steel grip on a polished wooden handle separate it from the standard design. The alternative is not too far from this level of quality. With the exception of the metallic D-grip, the polished steel ceremonial shovel has a similar build with a fully wooden handle.
