Some ceremonies are held indoors, but I prefer the ones that are held outdoors. They tend to be more fun, with more activities (usually related to the stamp/stamps theme) and an informal atmosphere. There’s a meet-and-greet, stamps sales and cancellations. Which you get the pictorial cancellations, plus the First Day of Issue cancellation. I highly encourage everyone to go to a Dedication Ceremony! Don’t forget to bring postcards for the hand cancellations
