Chinese New Year Table

My dear friend Jon Ching rang in his heritage for Chinese New Year by hosting an informal dinner. Jon's a wonderful cook, he once helped me prepare for a large birthday dinner with a broken hand, but he doesn't really know anything about creating a festive dining table that reflects the theme of the event. Naturally he asked me for help and I thought you could come up with some awesome black, red, and Asian inspired decorations. You saved your tablescape settings to the Yum Market with the keyword tag of Chinese New Year Table. Jon and I went through them and figured which items would work with his menu and dining room, here are our favs:

For a truly authentic feel, Jon loved this Chinese dinner set that DesignRchic bookmarked. The set includes placemats, chopsticks, and napkins that are decorated in a traditional Chinese pattern that represents good fortune and longevity.

Chinese New Year is coming up and my friend Jon Ching is hosting an informal dinner to celebrate his heritage. Jon's single and is an awesome cook, but has no clue how to set a table festively to create atmosphere for his little party. That's where we come in readers! Jon is going to let us dress his table with whatever awesome Asian inspired touches we find when we head off to market. To make sure we don't use a crazy selection of mismatched stuff, look for black and red Asian inspired pieces. We need to get it all: tablecloth, napkins, centerpiece, candles, and any special extras that will make his dinner full of memories in the years to come. Save your tablescape stuff in the Yum Market with the keywords Chinese New Year Table.
