Ambassador's Ribbon Cutting Creates Celebration
Ribbon cutting history began around 1900, when it was conducted by tying a ceremonial ribbon across a building's main entrance. The ritual of speeches followed by a dignitary cutting the ribbon was used to declare the building open for business. The scissors used to cut the ribbon, then, as today, were often preserved by the institution or business, as a keepsake.
