English term

A banner to celebrate a company\'s moving to a new office

English Marketing Business/Commerce (general)
I need to write an English banner for AAA Company to celebrate its moving.

I am thinking about:
1) Office Warming Celebration For XXX
2) Congratulations on XXX's move to new premises (though I think it's too long as a banner)

But I believe there'll be some better versions. Thanks in advance for your help!

Asker You need to know more about where this bannner is going to be displayed and for whom and for what purpose. Otherwise you are gambling your reputation...

It's probably the landlord welcoming the tenant, as Terry suggests, but I think you need to go back to the customer and ask exactly what this is about. Otherwise you could end up with a mistranslation in letters 10 feet high!
Terry Richards Mar 11, 2018:
Yes It all depends on who is placing the banner and where (which is what I am trying to find out from the asker). If it is the landlord placing it on the building that XXX is moving to, then a simple "Welcome XXX" would suffice.

@Ivan and Terry Considering Chinese New Year was in February, what about a short and simple:
"New Year, New Office!":

If the exclamation mark isn't good enough, you also have:
"Come see our new office!"

Or:
"Excited to present..."

...or similar.

I don't quite understand "Congratulations on..." Maybe I'm missing something. I thought the company was celebrating, not someone else congratuling them on the move?

Best

OK Is it the building that the company is moving to, the building they are leaving or some other building?
Ivan Niu (asker) Mar 11, 2018:
Dear Terry,

Thanks for your question. It's hung from a building. Sorry I don't know who is intended to see it or any other info.
Terry Richards Mar 11, 2018:
What sort of banner? Is it on a printed page or hung from a building? Who is intended to see it?

Welcome XXX to your new office/premises! OR Congratulations XXX on your relocation/move!

I think "welcome" would be far more common in English in these circumstances.

You can use caps

Welcome XXX to your New Office/Premises!

You could also use the option "Congratulations XXX on your Relocation/Move" or even "Congratulations XXX on your new office/premises"

Just seen Björn's comment and it seems strange to me as well that a banner is being hung from a building. That's why I was thinking "welcome" would be more common as the company is moving in.
Peer comment(s):
agree Björn Vrooman : My agreement wouldn't have moved the needle in this case, but I will post-grade regardless. I agree with you and Terry that "Welcome" would be a more apt solution (also regarding word length; it's a banner). But with no real context and asker feedback...

another asker gone onto my "don't bother answering list"...can't give context when asked and can't be bothered grading either...

Like Björn, I am confused. I have never seen notifications of moving in any medium using the word "congratulations".
See: https://www.esigns.com/templates/wemovedsigns/
We need more information.
