The Perfect Ribbon For Your Wilmington Grand Opening
The newly revamped downtown is seeing a fair share of small business openings. These range from local flower shops, coffee shops and restaurants, to nightclub and lounges. If you're opening a small business in Wilmington, the first thing you will want to look for is the perfect ribbon for your grand opening event. CeremonialSupplies.com has a varied assortment of ceremonial ribbons in all colors and widths to help you get started with this first step. Picking the color is the first step. You may want to consider the company's logo or brand's colors for this, or you can choose the traditional red ribbon which is never wrong. Will you customize your ribbon? If so, a vector file or similar digital file with the customization details will be needed. Alternately, CeremonialSupplies.com offers beautiful pre-printed grand opening ribbons ready to use in 4" and 6" widths. For customized ribbons there is also the option of extra wide variety of 8", 10" and 12" ribbons, the latter which can also be used as banner ribbons which add an even more distinguished look of royalty to your grand opening event! In additional to the individual items ready for customization, we also offer ready-to-go grand opening kits that range from the most basic elements such as ribbon and scissors, to more sophisticated items like stanchions and bows, and even an event aisle runner to match!
The Ceremonial Scissors
Choosing the ceremonial scissors is the next step. Will you want to make a big impression with a giant 25" or 30" ribbon-cutting scissors? These scissors are over 2' long and are called either giant scissors or jumbo scissors but remember the blades are sharp and they do in fact cut ribbon! If the jumbo attention-grabbing ceremonial scissors are not what you want, perhaps the traditional 10" golden handle and stainless steel ceremonial scissor is more your style. The next thing after size you should consider is the color of the handles, and the blade. The blades are made from stainless steel and have either a gold color finish or a silver finish, and the handles are available in every color to match the ceremonial ribbon! For customization of the ceremonial scissors this can be done on the blade with the name and/or logo of the company. Pre-printed ceremonial scissors with the words "Grand Opening" or "Ribbon Cutting Ceremony" are also available with red, blue, black, and maroon handles with gold blades. If you opt for the jumbo ribbon-cutting scissors you will want to display the shiny stars of the show when they're not being used before, or after the ceremony. The best way to do this is with the ceremonial scissors display stands that not only hold the ribbon-cutting scissors for everyone to see and admire, but can also be used as a decorative prop for the event and the area can be staged for the official event photo. After the ceremony the ceremonial scissors are usually placed on display. To make this step easier, CeremonialSupplies.com offers elegant hardwood display cases that hold the grand opening scissors, a portion of the grand opening ribbon, and photographs or newspaper clippings of the event. The ceremonial scissors display case can be wall mounted or can be placed on a shelf or mantle in the company's conference room or the boss' office!
Touches To Bring Sophistication to Your Grand Opening
Everywhere you go in Wilmington there is a visible strong link to the past when this great country began to take shape. One of the oldest colonies in America was centered at Ft. Christiana, in Wilmington, Delaware and was named New Sweden in 1638, making Wilmington one of the first settlements in the new world. Ft. Christiana was named after Sweden's Queen Christina, who was monarch of Sweden when the colony was settled. These lands of the middle colonies were rich and fertile for farming making the area an attractive settlement location for immigrants. These historical anecdotes can be used to develop a grand opening theme decor, or even used in formal dedicatory speeches. It's always a good idea to research the historical aspects of any location for a grand opening or a groundbreaking ceremony. You'll be surprised how many historical facts can be incorporated into the ceremony for interesting and entertaining welcome or dedicatory speeches. The same way items like stanchions , grand opening signs, banners, or a step and repeat backdrop banner and event carpet runners can be used to embellish and add a touch of lavish glamour to the event, suitable to the historically aristocratic air of Wilmington, and Delaware as a whole. From Dover to Newcastle, Newark, Brandywine, and Wilmington, there are historical components that can add glamour to the event, and for those CeremonialSupplies.com has classical stanchions crafted from stainless steel polished chrome, polished brass, and stainless steel with black matte finish. The classical stanchions are best suited to hold the ceremonial ribbon because it keeps them ribbon straight, leveled, and taut so that the writing on the ribbon can be clearly seen on photos or the videos. In addition to the classic stanchions CeremonialSupplies.com also carries plastic, weatherproof stanchions that are lighter in weight because they are filled with either sand or water for stability when needed, and are light for transport. The plastic stanchions are hitching post style and come in yellow, white, and black, with their own matching chain link. We also have retractable belt stanchions in full size or miniature, but these are used mostly for crowd management in large venues and aren't commonly used for grand opening ceremonies.
