General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / invitation- AUSTRIAN
German term or phrase: Voraviso
This is from an Austrian text- an invitation to an opening ceremony.

Voraviso zum Eröffnungsevent.

I think it means something like preliminary announcement or the like. Any help (esp. from Austrians: )) would be appreciated!!!

Thanks. Both answers are correct as it appears. I went with this answer because Voraviso was written at the top of the invitation under the mailing information - advanced notice fit there best.
