Understanding the Social Effect of Ribbons

From awareness and awards to wedding and event decorations, all ribbons have one thing in common: they create a social atmosphere. Ribbons are a perfect way to create fun. Whether it be part of a craft project or using them for decorations at your next party, they inevitably accomplish the same things. They drive your need to socialize. And this is an important aspect of ribbons.

To understand why all ribbons are social, ask yourself the following questions.

First, picture the world without ribbons. Now ask yourself why this would affect you and how it would impact your social life. Perhaps it doesn’t affect your daily life, but the overall quality of life would diminish. We don’t mean to state that without ribbons life is pointless. We only mean to state that ribbons spice up our lives. Take gift giving into consideration. What is your reaction to a present that isn’t wrapped? We all want to receive a beautifully packaged gift because we all want to feel appreciated. In this case, the social need for ribbons is to make someone feel special.

The next question you should ask yourself is where you would be at any given event without ribbons. Most events have decorations for the tables, backdrops and other pieces to get attention. Without ribbons, how would these social events look? No bright colors or fun ornamentation would make for a boring party. Yes, the disco ball would still be there, but what about the streamers and table runners? Ribbons make a party more social and exciting.

Another question you need to ask is how you would feel about excelling at a sporting event or academic achievement and not receiving any recognition. Without badge ribbons or award ribbons, we would all feel a bit left out, possibly even that it was a waste of our time from the get-go for even participating. Ribbons fill that social recognition that we all crave.

Other ribbon uses include a variety of arts and craft projects, commemorations, and ribbon-cutting ceremonies. They are also presented to honor service members as well as given or worn as symbols for causes and issue awareness.

So, join in on the fun! Ribbons are entertaining, cheerful, fascinating and they create the perfect finishing touch for projects, crafts and any event. Make your life social and full of ribbons today!
