How to Invite for an Opening Ceremony

You have several options for inviting guests to your opening ceremony.

An opening ceremony is a momentous occasion for many different organizations and establishments, including restaurants, stores, educational institutions and sports stadiums. The ceremony typically includes a formal program with speakers and some grand gesture to signify the opening, such as a ribbon cutting. At the request of the opening ceremony planners, guests are present. If you have the task of inviting people to an opening ceremony, you have a choice of methods to employ.

Instructions

1. Send electronic invites. This is an appropriate method if you have limited time, a large invitation list and a small budget. With this option, it is also possible to request that invitees send you an electronic RSVP.

2. Put invitations in the mail. This is a formal option, which is good for all group sizes if you have an unlimited postage budget. You can search online or at print stores for a variety of companies that will print your customized open ceremony invitations.

3. Display the opening ceremony details on a sign outside your building or the event venue.

4. Post an invite on Craigslist. You can place the invite in the community events section. This is an appropriate method for neighborhood and geographically-defined opening ceremonies.
