50 Employees. 50 Different Names. One Great Award Presentation!
Planning an employee recognition event for 50 or even 100 people? First of all, that's a lot of people doing great things. Second, you probably have a spreadsheet with more names than you'd like to admit! Good news! Recognizing a large team doesn't have to be complicated.
We have helped businesses celebrate everything from individual achievements to company-wide milestones since 1970. And we've picked up a few tricks for making large award orders a whole lot easier. Let Awards Now by Joan's Trophy help!
Make It Personal Without Making It Complicated
When ordering 50 awards with 50 different names, consistency is your friend! Start by choosing an award style that works for your event, then personalize each piece with the recipient's name, recognition category, or achievement. The result? A coordinated presentation that celebrates everyone while still making each person feel special.
A few favorites for larger employee recognition events include:
- Achievement plaques for individual accomplishments and outstanding service.
- Acrylic awards for a fresh, modern look.
- Glass awards for an elegant company celebration.
- Crystal awards for top performers, leadership honors, or major milestones.
You can also have a little fun with recognition categories like Team MVP, Customer Champion, Innovation Award, or Above & Beyond.
A Little Organization Goes a Long Way!
Here's one of our favorite tips for ordering a large number of personalized awards: Get those names organized before placing your order! Managing a lot of awards with different names, titles, and achievements might sound like a headache, but it doesn't have to be.
The Awards Now team can provide an easy-to-use spreadsheet template to help you organize recipient names, award titles, and personalization details all in one place. Before sending your list, take a few minutes to:
- Double-check names and spelling. Nobody wants a typo on their big day!
- Keep personalization consistent. Decide how you'll display titles, departments, dates, and achievements.
- Allow time for review. Confirm all the details and production timelines before your event.
It's a simple process that helps eliminate guesswork, avoid mistakes, and keep your recognition event running smoothly. And remember, you don't have to figure it all out yourself. Our team in Peoria, Illinois is happy to help you choose award styles, organize personalization details, and make the ordering process easier.

Whether you're recognizing 25 employees or celebrating 100, the goal is the same: make each person feel appreciated for what they've accomplished. With a little planning, the right awards, and an organized recipient list, you can create a recognition event that feels personal from start to finish.
