Company Chinese New Year Party Venue Singapore

Chinese New Year is the most vital holiday in China, and it's a great time to wear traditional clothes, put up festive decorations, and eat Chinese food. If you are organising an event to celebrate this holiday in your company, here are some Chinese new year party ideas on how to throw one:

• Get rid of bad luck
  Priorities always come first. If a guest is coming over, you must ensure that the venue is clean first. Cleaning for Chinese New Year is about more than just being nice. It is also customary to clean to get rid of bad luck for the coming year. Remember to ask guests to take their shoes off at the door to ensure everyone has a smooth start to the new year. 
  
  
• Use red for decorations
  A successful Chinese New Year needs lively decorations. Red paper decorations are often hung on windows, doors, and other parts of the venue during this event. The Chinese word for "year," Nian, is said to have come from an old story about a red-fearing beast named Nian. Also, red signifies strength, happiness, and energy, so use it as much as possible in your home decor. For instance, you could hang red paper lanterns from the ceiling or put red flowers in pots around the area. Why not try to bake a red velvet cake as well? 
  
  
• Add some gold
  Even though the traditional colour for Chinese New Year decorations is red, golden accents should also be used. Gold stands for wealth, success, and prosperity, which are important goals for the coming year. And who wouldn't gain from a bit of luck? Another Chinese New Year tradition is sending letters to loved ones to wish them luck, wealth, happiness, and long life. You can do the same to your co-workers and business partners. Put the messages where they can be seen by everyone. Notes should be written on red paper with gold ink for extra luck. Send an email with red text or make invitations with handwriting in red and gold. 
  
  
• Take note of the Chinese Zodiac
  According to Chinese tradition, each new year takes on the traits of one of the 12 animals in the zodiac including the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, snake, horse, monkey, sheep, rooster, dragon, dog, and pig. As part of another tradition, pictures of the new zodiac animal are used to decorate the venue. 
  
  
• Include lions and dragons decorations
  During the Chinese New Year, lions and dragons symbolise power, strength, and dominance, so you should use them to decorate your event venue. The dragon is also a well-known Chinese New Year symbol for supernatural forces. For example, you could hang a garland of long red dragons from the ceiling or a wall. 
  
  
• Give out red envelopes for good luck
  Sending and getting "lucky money" in little red envelopes is another tradition tied to the Chinese New Year. The envelopes are a way of spreading good luck. Either give them out yourself or put them in envelopes for guests to trade. Instead of the usual lucky money envelopes, celebrate a sweet year by giving little red gift bags full of homemade treats. 
  
  
• Serve Chinese food
  In the past, people ate certain foods at certain times and days during the 15-day Chinese New Year celebration. For example, on the first five days of the year, people eat long noodles as a sign of a long life. On the fifteenth day, full moon-shaped dumplings stood for family and perfection. Serve chicken dumplings and stir-fried chicken with noodles at your party to honour these customs. 
  
  
• Don't forget the dessert
  Oranges and tangerines, which stand for money, luck, and happiness, should be used for dessert. Remember to bring fortune cookies! Make them yourself, or order a set to surprise your co-workers. If you want to try other tasty treats during the Chinese New Year, almond cookies can be easily made at home or ordered. Extra points if you put them on napkins with a red and gold dragon. 
  
  
• Finish the night with fireworks
  People think fireworks are essential to Chinese New Year celebrations because the scary beast Nian is afraid of both light and sound. The chaos also wakes up a mythical dragon that will fly across the sky and bring spring rains that will make crops grow well. To keep the fireworks tradition going, you should hire a trained professional to ensure it starts off safely. 

Fun Chinese New Year Party Games

Classic Chinese strategy and gambling games like Chinese poker and Mahjong, which can be played in groups, are popular all year round and can be played for extended periods during the event. The Chinese culture has always valued games and group activities, so group gatherings would not be complete without these. This is especially clear during the Chinese New Year. One of the most popular ways to have fun and pass the time during Chinese New Year is to play games. Here are some Chinese new year party activities and games you can play during the event:

• MahJong
  The ancient Chinese game, MahJong, is like "Rummy" in the West. It is played with tiles. People of all ages and generations in China play it with speed, skill, and a unique sleight of hand that is amazing to watch. Since MahJong is a year-round hobby for many older people and may be one of their favourite things to do, it is likely to be found at several elderly homes. MahJong is a challenging game to learn and is usually played in groups of four. Not only does it require a complex strategy, but some tiles are marked with Chinese characters, so you'll also need to know them well. 
  
  
• Dizhu
  Dou (Chinese Poker) Dou Dizhu, which means "Fight the Landlord" in English, is China's second-most-played game, and almost anyone can enjoy it. It is still a card game played with regular decks of poker cards. The fast-paced game, commonly called "Chinese poker," is usually played with at least three people. This game has hundreds of rules and ways to play, depending on where you live. People often say that it is easy to learn the game, but hard to master, but winning even a few games requires a lot of strategies, so this may be a considerable understatement. 
  
  
• Gambling
  The "gambling capitals" of Asia, Macau and Hong Kong are great places for people who like to gamble to let loose, have fun, and make (or lose) money. Even though the games mentioned above are basically "gambling games, it is essential to remember that gambling is illegal in many parts of the Chinese Mainland. If you are playing with co-workers, you can usually give hongbao (money-filled red envelopes) online using your smartphone. When playing these games outside or in a "gaming room" open to the public, it is best to be careful and not play with money. Still, the Chinese have been gambling for a long time, which is why many of their old games are based on it. For instance, the "Chinese New Year Cup," which happens around the Chinese New Year, is the most popular and well-known horse race in Hong Kong. 
  
  
• Fortune Telling
  Card reading is one of the many superstitious activities and rituals that have been done in China for a long time. In more religious homes, these ways of telling the future may also be used to figure out the best time of year to travel, move, or buy a car. Some card-based Chinese New Year games try to predict what will happen to the players in the coming year. Using playing cards, there are several ways to "predict" whether you will have good or bad luck in the coming new year. This practice is most common around the Spring Festival. 
  
  
• Online Money Hunting
  Over the last few years, a brand-new "game" has kept many people, mostly kids and teens, busy during the Spring Festival. People often give money-filled "red gifts," or "hongbao," to their friends and family. Today, these red packets can be sent quickly to each other using messaging apps on mobile phones (mostly WeChat). Since some messaging apps have a lot of "group chats" with multiple users, if someone sent a "red packet" (whose value is unknown until it is opened) to the group, everyone could open it and get a random part of the total amount sent. Since most people have several group phone calls each week, many red packets will likely be sent randomly (for business, family, friends, etc.). Opening quickly is essential because the first few people to do so often get significantly more. People often check their phones as soon as they get an SMS alert to get as many Hongbaos as possible and beat their co-workers and friends to the biggest prize. 
  
  
• Lantern Riddles
  On the 15th day of the Chinese New Year, traditionally the last day of the Spring Festival, there is a festival called the Lantern Festival. During this festival, a common thing to do when visiting a town is to read the riddles written on the colourful lanterns, which are usually red.
