Two Alternative Ways To Use Custom Sports Ribbons

When was the last time you got excited about a sporting event? I realized about a few years back that it had been awhile since I had stopped to enjoy my free time, so I started investing a significant amount of time into learning more and more about sports. As part of my research, I joined a few adult sporting leagues, and it was absolutely incredible to see the difference that it made. Within a few short months, I felt like I was healthier than ever before. This blog is all about enjoying sports and making the most of your free time.

Sports ribbons are typically awarded to people who win sports events, such as track meets and gymnastic competitions. However, they can be used for a lot of different things if you're creative enough. Here are two alternative uses for sports ribbons that you may not have thought of:

Wedding Decorations

If you and your soon-to-be-spouse are sports fanatics, you can use custom sports ribbons as wedding decorations. There are several ways you can tastefully incorporate these items into your wedding theme. One way is to wrap a large piece of cloth around the top part of the chairs for your guests of honor and place a rosette ribbon in the center to indicate their special status.

Another idea is to string the ribbons into banners and hang those along the ends of the pews in the church, around the edge of tables, or on the walls. These ribbons can be customized in a variety of ways, so you can pick colors, graphics, and text to ensure they blend in well with the rest of the decor.

Lastly, the ribbons can be handed out as prizes for winning wedding and reception games or provided to guests as mementos to help them remember your special day.

Education Gamification Awards

Sports ribbons also make excellent education gamification awards. Sometimes when people participate in sports, their academics suffer. You can help motivate players by gamifying their educational activities and awarding them sports ribbons each time they hit a goal.

For example, you can give players 10 points for each assignment they do that gets a passing grade, and keep track of the points throughout out the semester. Every person who achieves a set number of points gets a ribbon plus any other bonus you feel may motivate your players to stay on top of their studies.

As noted previously, custom ribbons can be customized in just about any way, so you can make them look different than other ribbons the players may receive for their participation in athletic activities. This ensures they know exactly what they won the ribbon for and can take pride in their achievements every time they look at the ribbon, which may provide continuous motivation to keep doing well in school.

There are many other ways you can use sports ribbons to enhance your life. You're only limited by your imagination and creativity. For more information about customizing ribbons for your needs, contact a local supplier.
