Decorate for your Asian Party with Chinese Take-Out Decorations

Create a beautiful and festive setting for your Asian themed party or China Olympics themed event. The Chinese Take-Out Decorations are a perfect kit for transforming your venue into a fantastic Asian scene.

Start by setting up the Chinese Take-Out Boxes. They stand 10’ high x 6’ wide and create a great focal point for your decorations. Fill the boxes with red and white balloons for a full look.

Accent the take out boxes with an Asian Screen. It’s 11’ x 17’ and is composed by two sets of panels detailed with Chinese symbols and Asian patterned gossamer. Three symbols on the screen even light up!

Set up the fortune cookies for another fun accent. The cookies are 2 1/2 ‘ x 3’ and look fantastic paired with the take-out boxes. Finish it all off with the Chinese Symbols measuring 2 ½’ x 2 ½’ and fantastic for setting around the edge of your dance floor or the edge of the party space.

There are tons of decorating accents that go perfectly with the Chinese Take-Out Decorations. Place Chinatown Pails on your tables and fill them with confetti or favors for guests to take home they make functional centerpieces. The Chinese Character Mural is a great accent for your entrance, buffet table or other area. Add some Oriental Garden Lamp Posts for a soft glow and a sophisticated touch or the Chinatown Foil Dragon for a fun decorative touch.

Don’t forget paper lanterns. Chinatown Paper Lanterns are a wonderful accent to hang from your ceilings or doorways. Lighted round lanterns are another great idea.

Activities for a Beijing Summer Olympics Asian Party

If you will be holding your 2008 Summer Olympics party during the games or during the opening ceremony from China, you will need no activities other than food and a big T.V. for entertainment! If your event is prior to the actual happening in Beijing, then you may want to consider one or two of the following:

• Play upbeat music that encourages dancing and celebration. You may also want to include several Patriotic numbers as well as the theme song from the movie about the 1924 Olympics, “Chariots of Fire”.
• Divide your guests into groups and have them try to create a flag of a particular country. Assign each group a fairly unknown country (each group a different one) to see what they can come up with (not the UK, or Canada - no challenge in these!). Have a contest to see whose is most realistic, or how many other flags each team can guess.
• Create an obstacle course for your guests to make their way through.
• Divide the group up and have several relay races based on a summer theme. For example, have a swimsuit available that they need to run down to, dress up, and run back. Include flippers and a mask for extra fun!

Don’t forget about favors for prizes. Tell us your Olympic party activity ideas!
