A short guide
Didn’t find your look?
Tell us the occasion, the colours and the mood. Design Genie, our AI designer, drafts one invitation with painted artwork and characters that come alive, usually in under ten minutes; ask for a revision if you like, and fill in the details as usual. $19.99 when you publish; nothing to pay to see the drafts.
Give the date, time and address, say whether it is a family dinner or a larger party, and ask for replies by a set day. A greeting adds warmth: “Gong xi fa cai” in Mandarin or “Kung hei fat choy” in Cantonese both wish prosperity. Name the year’s animal only after checking it.
Use the name your family or community uses. Lunar New Year is the wider term and includes Korean Seollal and Vietnamese Tết, while Chinese New Year or Spring Festival refers to the Chinese celebration. If your guests come from different backgrounds, or you are hosting at work, Lunar New Year is the usual inclusive choice.
Red is widely seen as lucky and festive in Chinese celebrations, and many hosts invite guests to wear it. Some families avoid all-black or all-white clothes, which can be linked with mourning, but this varies. Traditional dress is also welcome in many homes. If colour matters to your family, write a line on the invitation.
Oranges or tangerines and a box of sweets are common, friendly gifts at Chinese celebrations, and red envelopes are usually given to children by married adults or elders. Other communities have their own customs, and families differ. If you are hosting, tell newcomers what is expected, so they arrive feeling confident and not worried.
