An opening party almost always has multiple audiences that shouldn't mix. The trick is phased programming across one day.
Start with a 30-minute press moment with the CEO before the official opening. Then the business part with clients and relations: opening, speech, tour. In the afternoon a publicly accessible part for the neighbourhood and families. In the evening a private moment for staff with a different tone.
One building, four moments. Each group gets its own invitation with a clear start and end time. That prevents overlap and awkwardness. Visitors feel seen, not diluted.
