Send out meaning:

to send a lot of copies of the same document to a large number of people


We sent out 300 invitations to our gallery opening.

I always get confused between "for" and "to".

Please explain the use of the preposition "to" in "to our gallery opening".

Which sense of the preposition "to" is used here?

Why can't we use for instead in that sentence?
