Choosing the right materials for your ribbon cutting ceremony can be a breeze thanks to CeremonialSupplies.com! We offer many options to choose from, as well as our personal guidance. Ceremonial ribbon cutting supplies come in many colors and sizes. Knowing a little more about how you want to conduct your ribbon cutting ceremony is helpful. For a little help on this, visit our blog “Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: The Slice on Making it Nice” for tips and guidance. This can help you to figure out how you want to organize the ribbon cutting event as well as executing the actual cutting itself. Once you know this, you are ready to choose the materials that will make your ceremony a success.
The Right Scissors for the Job
The two most important materials to have for a ribbon cutting ceremony are the oversized scissors and, of course, the ribbon to cut. While that part is standard, the style and type of scissors and ribbon you have for your event can involve a little more fun and creativity. We at CeremonialSupplies.com, provide customization on both scissors and ribbon in many color options so you can personalize your event. Simple and classic, with no customization is also an option. It all depends on how you want to present the ceremony to those watching.
Let’s start with scissors. The oversized ceremonial ribbon cutting scissors are sold in both 25” and 30” length, colorful handles and either gold or silver blades. If you would like a color that matches your business it is a fantastic way to show company pride. If you want a more classic look (blue, black, red), these are available as well. Matching your scissors to the ribbon offers a pleasing aesthetic to the ceremony and looks much better in photographs taken at the event. For a fun and whimsical ribbon cutting ceremony, you may opt for two-tone handled scissors which are a great and fun look for that demographic. If one person is cutting the ribbon with the ceremonial scissors, choosing either the 25” or the 30” is fine. However, if you plan to have multiple people hold the ceremonial scissors while cutting the ribbon, 30” scissors is best. This will allow for more room and less discoordination during the actual cutting. In some ribbon cutting ceremonies, some have opted to use multiple pairs of scissors and each chosen individual cuts together. This can offer a great opportunity for each owner, board member or investor to participate in the milestone moment for your ribbon cutting ceremony.
As for the ceremonial ribbon that is going to be cut at the event, this also provides a few options. Color is also a factor and should be chosen carefully. Whether going a traditional blue, red or green or deciding on a more personal color to your organization (pink, purple, orange, yellow), we have them all at CeremonialSupplies.com. We supply the highest quality ceremonial ribbon to you in several options of color, lengths and width that can be used for indoor or outdoor ribbon cutting ceremonies. Personalization of the ribbon in any color is available so do not be afraid to dress your ribbon cutting event up with your company logo, slogan or name! This looks great in photographs that are posted online or in the local paper as well as serves for free advertising. The length of the ribbon is also dependent on how many people are planning to physically cut the ceremonial ribbon or are on stage during the cutting. Ribbon with plenty of length can eliminate crowding and discomfort during the moment of cutting so be sure to plan accordingly. As good as we are, we have not yet trained our ceremonial ribbons to hold themselves up so be sure to leave room for someone or something to accomplish this task.
Last but Not Least
Another material to be considered for your ribbon cutting ceremony are stanchions and rope. These provide a great form of guidance for your guests as well as crowd management if press is in attendance. The stanchions we offer come in several different styles so you can choose which best fits the atmosphere of your event. They are also a great way to hold the ends of your ceremonial ribbon while you cut!
