Question: Open House? open-house or grand opening for a new business?\nWe are opening a new bookkeeping, tax services, and payroll business I need to know how to host an open-house? And how to organize a grand opening, any suggestions?

Answer: Is there a Chamber of Commerce in your area?  If so, and you a member, they may help you with the planning.  Our local Chamber helped with ours.  They had a list with names and addresses for the invitations and printed them out for us on lables for a small fee (a simple list was available for no charge).  They brought the big ribbon and scissors and took the picture and put it in the paper and all that.  We served food but  had it catered so other than picking up a few odds and ends like plates and plasticware and drinks, ordering and sending out the invitations was really the only other things we had to do.
