Ribbon Scraps and Dinner Parties

Wouldn’t it be great to have a dinner party where you did all the decorations with ribbon scraps!

How many of us have a box full of ribbon scraps just sitting there collecting dust? Here’s an excellent way to get the most use out of them. Invite a bunch of friends over for dinner! So, what does this dinner have to do with ribbon scraps?

No dinner party is complete without decorations to match the theme. Whether it be casual or formal, here are some great ways to not only use your ribbons but also to throw the party of the year! And think of the endless possibilities for those decorations!

Starting with decorations for the dinner table, what about creating wine tags from ribbons? You can also tie ribbons around glass stems or around the base of a glass to make a unique look. You can match the color specifically to your theme. Or, make them all different colors for each guest attending.

Decorate your place settings with pretty ribbon scraps wrapped around the napkins or silverware. Custom ribbon rolls are perfect for this idea! Choose ribbons with specific dates or sayings on them to match the rest of your decor.

Another great idea is to use ribbon scraps to create special and unique invitation cards!

Simply glue them onto a themed card to invite all of your guests. Creative cards are sure to secure that your invitations get noticed! And, they are an excellent way to make a guest feel special and want to attend your social event.

Once your guests arrive, make sure they feel wanted with a quick gift for them. Your ribbon scraps can be used to decorate little bags or boxes with a thank you gift. Or tie a ribbon around something that matches your theme that each guest can take home with them.

Don’t forget the decorations around the room! From ribbon curtains to creative lampshades decorated with your ribbons, these ideas are endless.

Custom Ribbon Definitions: Part 5

These definitions will provide the difference between stock items and custom items. And what you need to know about ordering each kind.

Most of our ribbon types (classic and rosette) come with two options. Custom and Stock. Sometimes, trying to figure out what you need can be a struggle.

We’ve already covered the following about ribbon text definitions:

Ribbon Titles
We often refer to ribbon titles for our pre-imprinted ribbons. A title is the word(s) that is imprinted on a ribbon. They are available as stock items on our website. Titles are words such as sponsor, president, staff, visitor or member. Each ribbon type we offer comes with varying available titles; see each order page for details. These ribbons are ready to ship the same day you place your order.

Custom Text
Most ribbons are also available with custom text. This means that instead of using pre-imprinted titles, you can provide your own text. This text can range from titles that you don’t see on the list to names or other messages. You can choose your own font and color to match your ribbon choice. Design each of these ribbons with or without a logo.

Stock Ribbons

From there, let’s cover what “stock” means. “Stock” refers to an item that is already imprinted with titles and text and will ship immediately for your use. Stock items are available as classic, badge and rosette ribbons. They have set colors when ordering. For example, the rosette place ribbon for “Grand Prize” is only available as a mustard color. And the “Special” rosette place ribbon is multicolor red, white and blue. Badge ribbons are typically available in two colors for each title.

Custom Ribbons

All “custom” ribbons are made specifically for one customer as per their order. Custom order all of our ribbons. This means that you can design your ribbon; whether it be a classic, rosette or ribbon roll; to meet your needs. Design them with names, dates, titles and sometimes full-color logos or graphics.

Here at Personalized Ribbons, we pride ourselves on having specific products for which our customers are looking. And, as part of this definitions series, we want to make sure that you understand what you’re getting. Having stock items means that you, as our loyal customers, get what you need and quickly. And by ordering those custom items, it means that you get exactly what you need. If we don’t seem to have what you’re looking for, please give us a call, and we’ll find something that works!
