5 Chinese New Year Party Ideas
- Feb 16, 2018
1. Decorate with Chinese Lanterns!
Chinese lanterns are an essential part of celebrating Chinese New Year! They’re a symbol of peace and used to celebrate life. Hang them from existing light fixtures to light your party and over your front door to drive off bad luck!
2. Use unique dishes
Make some delicious traditional chow mein and serve it up in Pedersen’s China Take Out Boxes along with reusable Chopsticks! Not only will this add to the theme of your party, it’s an environmentally friendly option that guests will love.
3. Decorate with red and gold
Use a combination of red and gold linens to decorate tabletops! Red is a symbol for good luck, success, beauty, and happiness. Gold is a symbol for richness and nobility. Our Ivory & Gold Rabanne Linen and Red Linen are the perfect combination for your Chinese New Year party!
4. Incorporate red envelopes
Traditionally, money is placed in red envelopes and given to children as gifts. If you’re having a sit-down dinner, write each guest’s name on a red envelope and use them as place cards!
5. Use orchids as centerpieces.
In Chinese culture, Orchids are considered symbolic for fertility and abundance. Since Chinese New Year is largely about family, these beautiful flowers are a popular choice to help ring in the new year. They’ll be the perfect centerpiece for your tablescape!
