Let people know about your big opening day event. Find out how to make an editable PDF template that’s easy to fill and share.

An opening day event is a big deal, whether it’s for a new business, art show, event, or any other occasion. But to make the opening a success, you need to let people know it’s happening. Flyers are a tried-and-true way to inform people, but how do you make one if you’re not a graphic designer?

Don’t worry — you can easily create an editable PDF flyer template with Adobe Acrobat that you can share digitally or print out.

What is an opening day flyer template?

A template can help you create your opening day flyer without having to rethink the design. A template will include fields where you can plug in information and sometimes images for your opening day. It will help you create a beautiful flyer with minimal design skills. Usually, you can customize the template beyond just filling out the text fields. You might be able to customize it by changing the colors, moving elements around, or switching out the background image.

An opening day flyer template will have details specific to an opening day event and might include a graphic with the words “opening day,” “grand opening,” or something similar. There will usually be a celebratory feel to an opening day flyer. To have a successful turnout, find a template that reflects your organization and grabs the attention of your audience.
