January 29th, 2006 is the first day of the Chinese New Year and is marked by the new moon of the Chinese lunar calendar. Year 4703 is the year of the Dog, but you can celebrate with an Asian themed party or an Oriental themed party any day of the year.
Chinese New Year festivities are a traditional part of ancient Chinese culture and the colors and symbols from Chinese culture make planning and decorating easy. Just follow these easy step-by-step instructions and you’ll know how to throw an Asian themed party that will bring Chinese New Year joy into the lives of your friends and family.
Step 1: Planning
1. Send out invitations.
Two weeks before your party send out the invitations. Remember to indicate on the invitation that this is an Asian themed party and that guests should wear official colors of the Chinese culture – red and gold! As the host, you'll want to be decked out in all your Asian themed finery--choose between a red satin mandarin hat or a straw Oriental hat. Accessorize your outfit with a traditional floral fan for a really fun look!
