Planning Your Autumn Festivals

We’ve said it before, and we’re happy to say it again: ribbons are the perfect thing to help you celebrate any event. And that still goes for all of your autumn festivals! From ribbon rolls to badge ribbons, we have something to meet your every need.

Starting your autumn festivals off right can take a lot of work, but with the proper planning, ribbons can make it easier. From festive colors and messages to how you use these wonderful tools, we guarantee that ribbons will make your festival better.

Ribbon Rolls for Autumn Festivals

Ribbon rolls are one of the best tools you can have for your Autumn festivals.

Choosing the right color is the easiest part! Whether it’s brown, orange or yellow (or any other color your event desires), we have the colors to get you going on the right path. Add messages that support different booths at your festival or add messages that go with packaging for goodie bags that you hand out to festival goers.

Ribbon rolls are also perfect for decorating! Give them to your vendors, volunteers and staff to decorate their spaces and make your event more festive. These ribbons will truly go the distance for your every need during your Autumn festivals.

PRO TIP: Create a custom photo booth backdrop with lengths of ribbon rolls tied into a banner that feature the date and theme of your festival.

Badge Ribbons for Autumn Festivals

Badge ribbons with messaging for your Autumn Festivals.

Invite festival goers to participate in your event by providing them with colorful badge ribbons with messages about what is happening during the festival. From costume contests to making sure that your volunteers are highly visible, badge ribbons are one of the best tools that you can use during your Autumn festival. Even match your colors to your booths or other vendor spaces!

One of the best badge ribbons is our full color version. These ribbons make it so that you can use bright colors as well as a bleed. This means that you can add nearly any messaging and graphics that you need to make your event special. Choose either vertical or horizontal ribbons to best fit your ribbon needs.

PRO TIP: Add badge ribbons to badge holders or name tags to help identify your staff and other volunteers at your event.

Custom Top Ribbons for Autumn Festivals

Custom top ribbons printed with messages for different events for Autumn festivals.

Add any message you need to these bright and full color ribbons to help your staff and attendees have fun during your Autumn festivals. Whether you need an award or something to give to people to remind them of the upcoming dates for your event, custom top ribbons are here to help.

One of the best features of these custom top ribbons is that you can either attach one to a name tag or give one with a record card that is personalized for any award. No matter what you choose to use custom top ribbons for, we guarantee staff and everyone who attends your Autumn festivals will remember your fun event because you have given them such a treasure to take home.

PRO TIP: If you have chosen to have contests at your festival, personalize custom top ribbons for each winner. Add the date and theme of your festival with the award placement for a unique trophy.

Personalized Ribbons for any Event

No matter how you choose to use any of these custom ribbons, remember to think outside of the box! Ribbon rolls don’t just have to be tied around a centerpiece to be useful. Badge ribbons don’t just have to be added to name tags and used for identification. Custom top ribbons aren’t just for awards. We’re curious to see how your outside of the box thinking goes. So, comment below and let us know how you used your ribbons!

Making Ribbons as Flair Work for You

We all have them. Lanyards and lanyards of name badges and badge holders we have received over the years. We get them as we attend conference after conference. Whether these conferences were for our jobs or entertainment, we still all have at least a couple of these event name tags hanging around somewhere.

You only wear them while you are at the conference, so why do you still have them? Is it the lanyard that makes the name tag so special? What about the name tag itself? Do we cling to everything that has our name emblazoned on it? Or, is it simply because we want to remember what we did while at that particular conference or convention? Or maybe, it’s because of all the RIBBONS AS FLAIR!

From cosplay to ancestry conventions, ribbons as flair is everywhere.

Badge ribbons are a tradition that started at sci-fi conventions. World Con (where the world’s supposed first cosplayer was present), may have started this trend. To quickly identify the role of other staff members, World Con employees put ribbons on their badges that denoted positions such as “Dealers,” “Artists” and “Guest of Honor.” World Con attendees took notice and made their own, silly badge ribbons to share with fellow fans. Today, you can find ribbons being passed out at many sci-fi conventions and Anime cons as well.

So what are they? Badge ribbons are little colorful, often shiny ribbons with a phrase printed on them and an adhesive strip to attach it to your badge or to another ribbon. The standard size is four inches by one inch and five-eighths. They can be custom ordered on many websites, and a pack of fifty can range from twenty-five to forty dollars. Depending on which site you use, the ribbons can be made in any color, with any phrase and any simple image.

Lots of badge ribbons used as convention ribbon flair

Much like the above author, we find that these little ribbons can cause excitement around any event booth. Everyone must have one to add to their name badge. And, with the nearly endless printing possibilities, these badge ribbons are the perfect marketing and networking tool to have at any event.

The Marketing and Networking Hack

Step 1: Design your custom ribbons with fun titles or witty sayings. Or, choose from our available stock titles.

Step 2: Pass your new badge ribbons out during any event to attendees and everyone who walks past your booth.

Step 3: Sit back and watch as more and more people show up to your booth, excited to learn about your brand and business.

Yes, it really is that easy! These little ribbons can do all of the talking for you and your business. No matter the event, badge ribbons are a must-have. From stock titles to going a bit crazy with full-color printing and fun messages, your ribbon flair is sure to stand out among the crowd.

Stack your ribbons as flair till your heart’s content!

The best thing about these fun ribbons? You can stack them onto a name tag, a badge holder and even another ribbon! With the adhesive strip that runs along the top of every ribbon, these marketing tools just got even easier to use. Now you really can sport all the ribbons as flair you want. Even if you are a presenter at an event, you can still add additional ribbons to the bottom of your credentials.

And, even if you don’t have a name tag to stick them on, the tape allows you to attach these fun ribbons to a notebook, backpacks and so much more. You can literally spend hours collecting every ribbon. So join in on the fun of ribbon flair by creating your badge ribbons today!

Rosette Ribbons and Their Versatility

These wonderful rosette ribbons aren’t just for awards!

With all of the available custom options for rosette ribbons, these decorative awards are far more useful than most people give them credit. Yes, they are commonly used as award ribbons, but there are so many other uses! Here are some great suggestions for these perfectly versatile ribbons.

But first, what are rosette ribbons?

There are three parts to these ribbons.

First, the rosette. The rosette is the fanciest part of these ribbons. Customize each layer (tier) with different colors. Each rosette comes with one to four tiers of ribbons, depending on your rosette choice, tucked and pleated to embellish their look. This stacking of ribbons is what makes rosettes stand out from any other award ribbon. And, it gives them their character and name. The way the tiers are stacked makes these ribbons look like a rose!

The second part is the center button. Each button comes as cello, gold-rimmed or satin. And each one can be customized to fit any need you have. Add a logo or a stock graphic to make your ribbon stand out. The button can also have a custom color to match the rosette. This part also holds the rosette together to give it the final custom touch.

And lastly, the streamers. While the rosette is what makes these ribbons fancy, the streamers may be the most crucial part. Personalize any of these rosettes with text, logos and other details. There are options of one, two or three streamers with one color imprinting. The colors are also chosen to match the rosette and button. And, this is where you add any custom text to explain the award or other use for your rosette ribbons. Add names, titles and achievements to the streamers to meet any of your needs.

Awards and Such

From equestrian events to fairs and classrooms, Rosette Ribbons are perfect for all awards.

Rosette Ribbons are great for place ribbons. So, when you have a classroom contest or a need to represent several athletes for the quality of their work, choose from a variety of styles and colors. Most ribbons represent up to nine places and also participation awards. All our rosette ribbons are high quality and can be ordered as custom or stock rosette award ribbons.

And, these rosettes are perfect for awards for any shows or event types. From sports, hobbies and animals to horticulture, business achievements and education everyone will want a rosette as their award for a job well done. With the fancy tops and long streamers, the high-end look will indeed show recognition for doing well.

Customize each ribbon to your needs by choosing a logo or graphic to go with the sporting event or school activity. Then, provide a message for each streamer and individual names for each award. No matter your choice, each award recipient is sure to treasure such a unique gift.

Decorations for Parties and Other Events

Equestrian Themed Wedding Rosette Ribbons Rosette Ribbons are not only for awards! Use them at your next party or other event. And while awards are perfect on a rosette ribbon, customize this ribbon choice to meet any need. From table decorations to fun props for a photo booth at a wedding, rosettes are more versatile than you know.

Don’t limit your thinking when it comes to using ribbons during any event. The key here is to make sure you display the correct message. And make sure that your color choice matches any theme you might have. Using each part of the rosette, customize these fancy ribbons to match your event.

From a wedding to a business convention, rosette ribbons can be the answer to almost any decorating need. Use them as a fancy place setting or a way of directing people into the right banquet room in a hotel or other venue.

Corporate and Personal Gifting

Use your custom rosette ribbons to celebrate someone meaningful. Whether it’s for your business or a family member, a thoughtful custom gift is sure to make someone feel special. From birthdays to Valentine’s day and Christmas to Halloween, every holiday needs a little ribbon.

Instead of traditional wrapping, use a rosette to replace the average bow on a present or party favor. Or use these fancy ribbons as the actual gift. Recognize anyone for a job they have done well. Or for just turning a year older. And, no matter the reason for the gift, your recipient is sure to remember the thoughtfulness that went into the customization of this unique ribbon.

So, remember the next time you use rosette ribbons that they are so much more than meets the eye. And, if you need help choosing the right rosette, try this!

Convention & Conference Badge Ribbons

From comic conventions to business conferences, badge ribbons are all the rave!

Each badge ribbon obtained from a conference or convention serves a purpose. So, what happens when they are all combined? And where do you put them all? Every badge ribbon is used as an identifier and as a visual stimulant.

Badge ribbons can make someone stand out from a crowd. They are also suggested as an effective way to make an initial introduction and break the ice for those attending a social meeting. These ribbons can be found nearly anywhere, but most badge ribbons are obtained from trade shows, conventions, conferences, meetings or other social functions.

No matter the convention, there are sure to be badge ribbons available to wear on your name badge. Why not make the most of them? And, the more, the merrier!

So, what is a Badge Ribbon?

Made from a small piece of ribbon, each convention ribbon typically features titles or basic information about the event. However, the titles can also be silly and inventive. And, while most badge ribbons are text only, full color printing is available for adding pizzazz to any badge ribbon.

Seriously, the sky is the limit when it comes to convention badge ribbons. Feature television or movie quotes on ribbons. Or, provide character names from books or theater productions. But remember to keep in mind the topic and theme of the convention or conference.

Badge ribbons are a fun way to add your unique flair to your convention or conference experience. Using the adhesive strip on the top of each ribbon, attach each one to a badge holder or name tag. And, the best part of each badge ribbon is showing off how many and which ones you have.

These ribbons come in a wide range of styles and colors, and it’s entirely upon the individual to create and distribute their badge ribbons. From funny titles and sayings to identifying attendees and knowing who sponsors and speakers are, badge ribbons will always play an important role at any convention or conference.

Conference vs. Convention

While conferences and conventions don’t differ significantly, badge ribbons can have a different use at every event. Conventions typically give out ribbons to represent fandoms and current fads. This differs from a conference ribbon which will usually only represent speakers, presenters, ushers, vendors and more. Conference ribbons attach to the bottom of a name badge and help to identify someone’s role at an event. While at a convention, multiple ribbons can express personality rather than only play the role of identification.

Badge ribbons are an excellent way to break the ice and stop any awkward stares or uncomfortable moments when someone doesn’t know what to say or how to introduce themselves. Stacking personalized ribbons on name badges is an effective way to identify any role at these events.

So, let your badge ribbon help you to stand out at any event, whether it’s a conference or a convention.
