Instructions
1. Send out circular yin-yang invitations or pick a Chinese theme at Evite and send invitations electronically.
2. Decorate with Chinese paper lanterns, red streamers and gold accents.
3. Choose a Chinese theme of your choice for the cake. Chinese symbols, dragons or cherry blossoms are some popular Chinese themes. Frost a round cake like the Chinese checkers design. Make indentations with a marble, but use gumballs for the decorations.
4. Serve Chinese food or finger food such as egg rolls and won tons. Add tea to the menu for a Chinese tea party. Offer chopsticks for the guests to eat with.
5. Fold origami for a fun craft activity. Purchase colored paper and provide individual step-by-step instructions for the guests to follow. Have different animal designs ranging in difficulty.
6. Play games with chopsticks. Have races that require picking up objects with chopsticks or carrying objects with chopsticks.
7. Package gift bag items for the guests in Chinese food take-out boxes instead of traditional gift bags. Give fortune cookies instead of candy. Inexpensive paper fans, Chinese jump ropes, Chinese yo-yos and pocket-size Chinese checkers are great stuffers or game prizes.
