Chinese New Year Party Ideas

Expert Julie Mulligan has some fabulous design inspiration for a Chinese New Year celebration.
If you start to think outside of the box you'll discover that Chinese take-out containers have a lot of uses. I used one to hold some bamboo handled cutlery. I cut off the tops flaps and filled it half way with red paper shred.
Flowers are an important part of the Chinese culture and New Year's is the biggest day in the Chinese flower market. Pick up decorative take-out containers from a party supply store and fill them with flowers in shades of reds, golds, and oranges.
Lettuce wraps are a fun and easy traditional Chinese food. They are served at New Year's because the Cantonese word for lettuce sounds like rising fortune, and are filled with other lucky food such as noodles and peanuts.
Pair a few stems of fresh orchids displayed in a sake vase and add a votive candle to the sake cup to recreate this display.
Hongbao, which are small red envelopes stuffed with money, are often given to unmarried children on the New Year.
