When planning a Chinese New Year Party, think Red. Red invites will certainly get the attention of your potential guests and you could also put some Chinese characters on these. Decorating for this party will be fun and easy. Buy lots of red ribbon and wrap it around the branches of indoor plants and have pretty blossoms everywhere. Platters of oranges or tangerines are traditional as well as 8 varieties of dried sweet fruit. On the walls will be cool messages like "May the Star of Happiness, the Star of Wealth and the Star of Longevity shine on you!" Flowers are a very important part of the Chinese tradition as they represent regrowth, life and bearing of fruit. The party won't be successful without Chinese New Year music. Play Mah-Jong game without gambling. Hire an Acupuncturist to give treatments during then party. Chinese foods will include: dumplings, noodles, lettuce wraps, whole fish, fried rice, chow mien, eggs rolls and of course, fortune cookies to name a few. No Chinese New Year Party would be complete without the Chinese New Year Cake.
