Chinese chic
Balance kitschy paper lanterns and retro chinoiserie with a minimalist bamboo table runner and white platters. Use the latter to plate Chinese takeout, and let guests serve themselves into paper-takeout boxes. (Or go for an Asian fusion menu and try our Easy Pad Thai recipe; if you have room, why not get your young guests involved in the prep?) Offer Arizona Green Tea straight up – the packaging was practically custom-designed for our party theme! Or serve drinks from a Chinese flask or teapot.
Tip: Bright bonbons are a nice hit of eye candy!
