Denver's history is richly American and unique to the characteristics of the "gold rush" movement. Unlike mission towns and cities, Denver was founded with only one goal in mind: to make money. Led by William H. Larimer, a prospector from Pennsylvania, a disheveled group of gold seekers founded the Denver City Town Company on November 22, 1858. Larimer platted and named the streets after his fellow members of the Denver City Town Company but named the new town after James W. Denver, the governor of Kansas Territory, and although there wasn't much gold found in Denver, the mention of the shiny precious metal was enough to start a stampede into the new town. Today, from the Victorian houses of Five Points, to the hip nightclubs of historic LoDo, the stately mansions of Capitol Hill and the Golden Triangle Creative District, Denver is a booming center of art, culture and businesses. It is no wonder that major companies like Agilent Technologies, Boeing, Boston Market, Quiznos, JD Edwards, Western Union, and many others have expanded in Denver. As this trend continues, more businesses and companies will be holding grand opening events in Denver and CeremonialSupplies.com has the perfect grand opening ribbon, ceremonial scissors and other supplies for your premiere event in Denver.
Choosing the Ceremonial Ribbon and Beyond
Starting with the ceremonial ribbon, of which we've got every color in the spectrum, the next thing to consider for your grand opening ceremony is the width of the ribbon, and whether you want it customized or with the pre-printed message "Grand Opening?" You can also choose to have a blank ribbon - there's nothing inappropriate in that, but it does make a difference in photographs. Especially those tight close up shots where the name of the business is not in frame. In such cases, the ceremonial ribbon carries the name. The color of the ribbon is usually coordinated with the company or the business' logo or brand color. This doesn't mean you can't use a red ribbon. The red ceremonial ribbon for a grand opening is the traditional color for a grand opening ceremony so you can't go wrong, but the fact that you can have the color of your company's logo on the ribbon is a marketing booster!
After you have settled on the color ribbon for your grand opening event, the next thing to consider is the width of the ribbon. CeremonialSupplies.com offers a selection of ceremonial ribbons that are available in the standard 4" - 6" sizes, which work great for a grand opening ceremony of a small business where the side-to-side of the front entrance is no bigger than 15 feet. For a ribbon-cutting ceremony of a large office, a public building, or similarly wide doorway, wider ribbon is proportionately more aesthetically appealing, especially if there will be photographs and videos of the event. The ceremonial ribbons we carry at CeremonialSupplies.com are available in extra-wide sizes of 8", 10", and 12". The 12" ribbons, when printed vertically are used as banners to merchandise the inside of the business, shop, or company. Extra-wide ribbon makes the name of the business pop up in photographs and videos, earning your company additional marketing exposure. A nicely customized 8" or 10" ribbon is an attention grabber and our specialty!
Choosing the Ceremonial Scissors For Your Grand Opening Event
The ribbon-cutting scissors are the stars of any grand opening event. At CeremonialSupplies.com we have giant 25" or jumbo 30" ceremonial scissors with blades made from stainless steel that are either gold or silver brushed, and the handles, which are available in colors to match the ceremonial ribbon, are of high-density polyethylene. If a more traditional size is your style, CeremonialSupplies.com has the elegant golden handles ceremonial scissors in the regular 10.5" size. The ceremonial scissors can be customized on the blade with a name or logo, or they can be ordered pre-printed with "Grand Opening" or "Ribbon Cutting Ceremony," or with no customization at all. The choice is yours! The 25" and 30" scissors are big attention-grabbers and as such you should maximize their exposure. Before and after the ribbon-cutting ceremony these huge scissors should be on display as this will add to the overall decoration and provide a spot for the official photo or video of the event, and they'll be readily on hand when it's time to cut the ribbon! (which they do cut, and are actually quite sharp.) Choose from our deluxe or standard scissors display stand to show off these beauties!
Consider All The Details Of A Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony!
We have all seen the photos, or maybe even witnessed a ribbon-cutting ceremony where the ribbon is held at each end by two different people? The ribbon itself is uneven, and folds over on the center. This is lack of planning. It's important to consider all the details of a ribbon-cutting ceremony. We have seen gorgeously printed ceremonial ribbons being held by people but the name of the company can't be made out because of folds and lops. Avoid this by having stanchions at each end holding the ribbon. This way the ceremonial ribbon is in full display at all times! CeremonialSupplies.com has classic stanchions that are available in stainless steel polished chrome, brass with golden color, and black matte finish. These classic stanchions are perfect to hold the ceremonial ribbon, and when each is decorated with a giant bow of the same ribbon color and balloons, your grand opening entrance will be luxuriously decorated Denver-style! CeremonialSupplies.com also carries plastic, weatherproof hitching post style stanchions available in black, yellow, and white. One of the benefits of the plastic stanchions is they are much lighter to transport and to stabilize them all you need to do is fill the base with water or sand. We also carry regular size retractable belt stanchions and mini retractable belt stanchions but these are mostly used to streamline the movement of large crowds in one area.
Taking Your Denver Grand Opening Up A Notch
To make a big statement at your Denver grand opening, consider laying out a red carpet (or a blue, pink, green, purple or black carpet!) at the entrance where the ceremonial ribbon is displayed attached to the decorated stanchions. CeremonialSupplies.com event carpets are plush and luxurious and available in standard and customized sizes. Other items to embellish the grand opening decoration are things like a step and repeat banner than can be placed behind the ceremonial scissors while on display, creating another photo opportunity area for guests. Roll up banners can also be incorporated into the decor by placing one grand opening banner on each side of the entrance. "Grand Opening" signs in different styles should be visible. Shop CeremonialSupplies.com for grand opening supplies such as signs, ceremonial ribbon, grand opening scissors, stanchions, aisle runners, ceremonial scissors display stands and display cases (to preserve and display the ceremonial scissors) and many other supplies for an exquisitely golden grand opening worthy of Denver's ambiance.
