English term or phrase: A banner to celebrate a company\'s moving to a new office
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!

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


Explanation:
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.

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...

Like Björn, I am confused. I have never seen notifications of moving in any medium using the word "congratulations".
