Shop opening and inauguration invitation messages

An opening invitation does two jobs: it invites people to the ceremony and it tells them about the business. Mention what you sell or do, the ribbon-cutting time, any chief guest, and an opening-day offer if you have one.

Common questions

How early should I send a shop opening invitation?

One week before for customers and neighbours; two weeks for a chief guest.

Can I use it as a WhatsApp status ad?

Yes. The video fits as a single status, and the HD card works as an Instagram story.

Is it free for businesses?

Yes. There is no watermark, so the invitation carries only your brand.
