10 Open House Invitations Reminding You to Leave the Door Open (2024)

Leave your arms and doors wide open, because you have an open house to plan. An open house isn’t limited to any one event or milestone. In fact, it can be for personal or business purposes and hosted at your home address, place of employment, or even on your neighborhood block. Whatever the occasion, you’ll need to send out anÂopen house invitationÂto welcome friends, neighbors, vendors, and colleagues to the event.

So, what’s the difference between an open house and a more traditional party? An open house implies guests can come and go as they please within a specified window of time. No one arrives “fashionably late” at an open house (great news to your typically-tardy friends), and there is no set agenda. Friends and neighbors can arrive whatever time suits them, enjoy snacks or a beverage, and mingle with other guests.

You can throw an open house for your business’s grand openingÂand holiday partyÂor for a relative’s high school graduation. Below, you’ll find 10 of our favorite open house invitationsÂfit for a number of celebrations.

10 Open House Invitations to Welcome Guests

A housewarming partyÂis like a vacation: It can be for business, pleasure, or both. So whether you throw an open house that doubles as a housewarming partyÂor want the best invitationÂto celebrate five years in business, you’ll find a party invitationÂto match your plans.

1. Classic Home Invitation

Excuse us, what’s this? Did someone have a major #adulting moment recently? Just one open houseÂmade you feel quite at home, and you decided to make it official. You called your real estateÂagent, then the lender, then signed on the dotted line, making you an official homeowner.

And even though your only “furniture” is unopened cardboard boxes, you want to bring your friends and neighbors over to break in your new digs. Customize this open house invitation templateÂwith your newly updated address, and fill your new place with familiar faces.

2. Grand Gold Invitation

After quite a few late nights and a pint’s worth of elbow grease, your grand openingÂis just around the corner. With keys in hand and the lights finally on (thank goodness), you’re ready to roll out the not-quite-red carpet to officiallyÂlaunch your business.

Invite over your favorite clients, ride-or-die supporters, and all-time biggest cheerleaders as you open your doors. This luxurious, gold foil business invitationÂis fit for your show-stopping, mic-dropping, business event.

3. Greenery Frame Invitation

Let’s explain something you already know: No one has free time during the holidays. Every calendar is packed with end-of-year deadlines, family obligations, and enough white elephant parties for you to regift the same present six times over.

So rather than throw a holiday partyÂwith a set agenda, allow your loved ones to come and go as they please. This holiday invitationÂis appropriate for either an intimate Christmas open houseÂat home or a professional open house partyÂat the office.

5. Marble Toast Save the Date

Customize the color scheme according to their school stripes, and send this out to friends, classmates, and family members.

7. Tree Pattern Invitation

String up the holiday lights and pop bottles of champagne to prepare for the New Year. As December winds down and you count your blessings and good fortune, it’s time to celebrate with the friends, colleagues, and other supporters that helped make it happen.

Grab the largest pair of scissors you own, because there’s a certain ribbon that’s in need of cutting. Fit for product launches, opening nights, or a grand opening, this open house invitationÂrepresents the symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony.

It doesn’t matter whether your big reveal includes a few close friends or an all-out gala. What matters is that all your loved ones are there to witness it and toast to your success.
