Keep ceremonies fresh by making them relevant in some way to the individuals for whom the ceremony is being presented. Know the difference between sentiment and sentimentality. Long faced solemnity is not always the desired mood for a ceremony. Humor may have a quiet dignity running through its lightness. Ceremonies can be dramatic, inspiring, and colorful, and they should help participants feel more connected to other group members and a part of the group.
Every ceremony needs to have a plan and a goal.

Use ceremonies to promote a better understanding of the group aims, ideals and responsibilities. Have a Clear Goal List the characteristics of the group members who will attend.
