The main contents of the ribbon-cutting ceremony are as follows:

When organizing the ribbon-cutting ceremony, there is no need to blindly seek novelty, difference, and sensation without being divorced from your actual abilities. Being diligent and thrifty is something that business people must keep in mind no matter where they are.

Discussed from an operational perspective, the currently popular ribbon-cutting etiquette mainly includes four aspects: preparation for ribbon-cutting, ribbon-cutting personnel, ribbon-cutting procedures, and ribbon-cutting practices. Below, we will introduce the key points respectively.

Preparation

First of all, the preparation for cutting the ribbon must be meticulous. Other aspects of the event include venue layout, environmental sanitation, lighting and sound preparation, media invitations, personnel training, etc. It goes without saying that when preparing these aspects, you must be careful and meticulous, and strive for excellence.

In addition, we carefully selected and prepared some special utensils required for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, such as red ribbons, new scissors, white gauze gloves, trays and red carpets. .

Personnel selection

Secondly, the people who cut the ribbon must be carefully selected.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the most active people are of course people rather than things. Therefore, ribbon-cutting personnel must be carefully selected and necessary training must be conducted in advance.

(1) Personnel composition:

Except for the host, the ribbon-cutting personnel are mainly composed of two main parts: ribbon-cutters and assistant-cutters.

(2) Etiquette requirements:

The following is a brief introduction to their main etiquette requirements.

It is a high honor to serve as the ribbon-cutter at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The level of the ribbon-cutting ceremony is often closely related to the identity of the ribbon-cutting person. Therefore, when selecting the person to cut the ribbon, the most important thing is to choose the person who cuts the ribbon well.

The ribbon-cutting person is the person who cuts the ribbon with scissors during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. According to convention, the ribbon-cutting person can be one person or several people, but generally there should be no more than five people. Usually, the ribbon-cutters are mostly superior leaders, partners, celebrities, employee representatives or customer representatives.

The list of ribbon-cutters must be determined before the ribbon-cutting ceremony is officially held. Once the list is determined, the other party should be informed as early as possible so that they can be prepared. Under normal circumstances, when determining the ribbon-cutting person, you must respect the other party's personal opinions and never force the other party. When several people need to serve as ribbon-cutters at the same time, each ribbon-cutter should be informed of who he will share this responsibility with. Doing so is a sign of respect for those who cut the ribbon. Don't "sharpen your guns before the battle", forcefully dragging and pulling just before the ribbon-cutting begins, and find someone to make up for it at the last minute.

When necessary, the ribbon-cutters can be gathered together before the ribbon-cutting ceremony to inform each other of the relevant precautions and provide some training. As a general rule, those who cut the ribbon should wear a suit, skirt or uniform, and have their hair neatly combed. Hats, sunglasses, and casual attire are not allowed.

If there is only one person cutting the ribbon, the person should be centered and immediately when cutting the ribbon. If there is more than one person cutting the ribbon, attention must be paid to their ranking when they come on stage at the same time to cut the ribbon. The general rule is: the middle is higher than the two sides, the right side is higher than the left side, and the farther away from the person standing in the middle, the lower the position. That is, the person who is the main cutter should be in the center. It should be noted that the reason why it is stipulated that the position of the ribbon-cutters is "on the right side than on the left side" is mainly because this is an international practice and the ribbon-cutting ceremony should be observed. In fact, if there are no foreign guests participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, it is okay to follow the traditional Chinese practice of "the left side is higher than the right side".

Helpers refer to the people who help the ribbon-cutters during the ribbon-cutting process. Generally speaking, the haircut assistants are mostly female staff from the host. Nowadays, people usually call them hostesses.

Specifically, the hostesses who serve at the ribbon-cutting ceremony can be divided into greeters, guides, servers, ribbon pullers, bouquet holders, and tray holders. The task of the greeter is to welcome and deliver guests at the event site. The leader's task is to lead the ribbon-cutters onto the stage or off the stage when cutting the ribbon. The server's task is to provide drinks and arrange a resting place for the guests, especially those who cut the ribbon. The task of the ribbon puller is to unfold and straighten the red ribbon during the ribbon cutting. The task of the bouquet bearer is to hold the bouquet when cutting the ribbon. The task of the tray person is to provide scissors, gloves and other ribbon-cutting supplies for the ribbon-cutters.

Under normal circumstances, there should be more than one person greeting and serving people. The guide can be one person, or there can be one for each ribbon-cutting person. There should usually be two people pulling the lottery. The number of bouquet holders depends on the number of flowers in the bouquet. Generally, there should be one person per flower. There can be one person holding the tray, or one person for each ribbon-cutting person. Sometimes, hostesses can also wear multiple hats.

The basic conditions for a hostess are: good appearance, slender figure, young and healthy, elegant temperament, sweet voice, quick response, witty and flexible, and good at communication.

The best attire for the hostess should be: light makeup, hair tied up, a monochromatic cheongsam with uniform style, fabric and color, flesh-colored pantyhose, and black high-heeled leather shoes. No jewelry other than rings, earrings or studs. Sometimes, the hostess can also wear a dark or solid-colored skirt. However, their appearance must be as uniform as possible. When necessary, hostesses can be temporarily hired from outside units.

Procedure of the ribbon-cutting ceremony

Again, the procedure of the ribbon-cutting ceremony must be orderly.

Under normal circumstances, the ribbon-cutting ceremony should be held at the site of the building, project, or trade fair or expo that is about to be opened. The square outside the main entrance and the hall inside the main entrance can be given priority. At the event site, you can slightly decorate. It is even more essential to hang a large banner with the specific name of the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the place of ribbon-cutting.

Generally speaking, the ribbon-cutting ceremony should be compact and avoid procrastination. The shorter the time required, the better. It can be as short as a quarter of an hour and as long as no more than an hour.

According to convention, ribbon-cutting can be a specific procedure in the opening ceremony, or it can be independent and composed of its own series of procedures. An independent ribbon-cutting ceremony should usually include the following five basic procedures:

1. Guests enter. Five minutes before the ribbon-cutting ceremony begins, the guests should enter collectively under the guidance of the hostess. Generally speaking, the ribbon-cutting guest among the guests should sit in the front row, and place cards should be placed on the seats in advance. Guests at the central level should only write "chief", while others can write their names directly.

2. At the beginning of the ceremony, the main person in charge of the company announces the start of the ceremony, plays music and fires cannons (except in some places where firing is prohibited), and then introduces the guests present and expresses his gratitude for their arrival.

3. The guest and host speak. Representatives of the organizer, representatives of higher-level departments, representatives of cooperative units and social celebrities made speeches successively. The content of the speech should be introductory, encouraging, and congratulatory, and should be short, concise, and concise

4. Cut the ribbon. The hostess will appear on stage amid the joyful music and lead the ribbon-cutters to stand in a certain position as arranged by the organizer. The number and position of the hostesses need to be rehearsed. At this time, the lottery puller pulled up the red silk and colored balls. When the ribbon cutter cut the red silk and dropped the colored balls, everyone applauded warmly.

5. Follow-up activities. After the ribbon-cutting process is over, the organizer can arrange some follow-up activities such as art, visits, networking, symposiums, signatures, inscriptions, meals or continued visits. The specific methods can be determined by the content of the ribbon-cutting. Finally, the organizer can present some souvenirs to the guests and send them off warmly. go.

Main methods

Finally, the method of cutting the ribbon must be standard and correct.

When officially cutting the ribbon, the specific practices of the ribbon-cutters and those assisting in the ribbon-cutting must comply with the standards, otherwise the effect will be greatly affected.

After the host announces the ribbon-cutting, the hostess should be the first to appear. When taking the field, hostesses should march in a single file. You can enter the stage from both sides at the same time or from the right side. After taking the stage, the lottery pullers and the bouquet holders should stand in a line, with the lottery pullers straightening the red ribbons at both ends, and the bouquet holders holding a bouquet of flowers in each hand. The person holding the tray must stand about one meter behind the person holding the rosé and the person holding the bouquet, and in a line of their own.

When the ribbon-cutters take the stage, the conductor should guide them in front and to the left so that they are in place. When the ribbon-cutting person takes the stage, he should appear from the right side. When the ribbon-cutters have all arrived at the designated positions, the person holding the tray should take a step forward and reach the right rear side of the ribbon-cutters to hand them scissors and gloves.

If there is more than one person cutting the ribbon, they should also line up in a row when they take the stage, and the person cutting the ribbon should go in front. When the host introduces the ribbon-cutting person to all the attendees, the latter should bow or nod to everyone with a smile.

After the ribbon-cutting person arrives at the designated location, he should greet the ribbon-pullers and bouquet-holders with a smile.

When the person holding the tray hands you scissors and gloves, you should also smile and thank the other party.

Before the official ribbon cutting, the ribbon cutter should first signal to the ribbon puller and bouquet holder. After they are ready, they should concentrate on cutting the red ribbon with a solemn expression, holding the scissors in their right hand. If multiple ribbon-cutters are cutting the ribbon at the same time, other ribbon-cutters should pay attention to the movements of the main ribbon-cutter, actively coordinate with them, and strive to cut the red ribbon at the same time.

According to convention, after the ribbon-cutting, the red bouquet should fall accurately into the tray in the hands of the tray bearer, and must not fall to the ground. To do this requires the cooperation of the bouquet holder and the tray bearer. After successfully cutting the ribbon, the ribbon-cutter can raise the scissors with his right hand and greet all those present. Then put down the scissors and gloves on the tray, raise your hands and applaud. Next, you can shake hands with the host in turn to express your congratulations, and line up to exit under the guidance of the conductor. When exiting, it is generally advisable to exit from the right side.

After the ribbon-cutting person exits, other hostesses can line up and exit from the right side.

Whether it is the ribbon-cutting person or the assistant-cutting person, they must pay attention to being orderly, steady and natural when entering and leaving the field. During the ribbon-cutting process, it is even more important to behave in a polite and generous manner.
