Get guests intrigued about the Asian-themed event by sending out charming baby shower invites (1) like this one from Amazon, decorated with cherry blossoms and paper lanterns.

Then, be sure to prepare enticing Chinese-inspired party fare, like Spicy Beef Noodle Salad (2 – recipe from La Choy), Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps (3 – recipe from Jennie-O), and Spicy Orange Chicken (4 – recipe from Kikkoman), served with the Asian classic Yang Chow Fried Rice (5 – recipe from Yummy.ph).

For dessert ideas and how to display them, see the photos from our own Chinese-themed sets below. And for the most darling baby shower favors, treat guests to Custom Baby Shower Fortune Cookies (6 – available from Beau-coup). Give Chinese treats as take-home favors, too. Whether home-baked almond cookies or ready-made fortune cookies, they will look extra special packaged in woven boxes wrapped in shimmery colored fabric rounds (7 – available from the Bellenza SHOP). Choose those in red, orange and fuchsia!

Other dessert and finger food options to add would be almond pudding, red bean sesame balls, egg custard tarts, and flaky Chinese peanut candy. Just present these goodies in bamboo trays or baskets lined with colored tissue paper (8, 9) – styled by Bellenza). Finally, add easy to find decor touches to use around the party venue such as round paper lanterns, bamboo sticks, and more fabric cherry blossoms.
