An interesting way to celebrate a Good Luck going away Party or event is to do an Around-The-World theme, using the foods and customs from all over the world that supposedly bring luck into our lives, as well as some amazing Good Luck Party Supplies.Go into an Asian grocery store, and ask them for Good Luck, or New Year’s red envelopes. These are now your invitations! Place a piece of paper inside the envelope, inviting your guest to join you for the celebration, and ask them to bring their own personal good luck charm with them, as a lucky talisman for the group just for the evening. Put things around the party space that signify some of the worldly customs people use to bring luck upon themselves – but don’t tell anyone their meaning. Once everyone has gathered, group everyone into 2 person teams, and have them go around the room trying to figure out what the ‘lucky’ charms actually mean. Your buffet table could also include things from this list. Good Luck Party goers write down their answers, and the winning team is the one with the most right at the end of the night. Their loot? The lucky charms placed around the room.
