Who wants to be in a fairy tale? Not in a terrible one, no, in a kind, bright, romantic one? If there are those who want it, then it’s exactly what you need. Of course, the east is a very broad concept and includes geography from the unique Japanese islands to the Arabian desert. But if we talk about oriental style party, consciousness first of all draws the color of ancient Persia and the bright colors of India. So at home you can arrange a holiday, for example, in the magical style of 1000 and 1 night. So, a few tips on how to make a fairy tale come true - at least for one evening.

Oriental party invitations

The first task is to invite guests beautifully, which is why it is so important to design invitations in an original way. They are simply obliged to reflect the theme of the party, so if the party is oriental, invitations are made in oriental style. Fantasy will tell you specific options, the Internet will serve as a source of inspiration. On the appropriate request, you can view a lot of pictures and stop at something most relevant.

It looks intriguing, extracted from an oriental bag. Among the incense sticks and gems is placed a small piece of cardboard written in Arabic script. It is he who is the invitation, the Arabic script perfectly imitates one of the fonts of the text editor. You can also write the text by hand, you have to tinker, though, but if you don’t plan to invite a whole crowd of guests, then the option is quite acceptable. Of course, if you need a lot of invitations, then just order at the printing house.

A postcard can be presented complete with a specific, purely "oriental" bracelet. A bead of a certain color on a colored thread will serve as such a bracelet and at the same time a pass to an oriental party, an entrance ticket, isn’t it original? Bracelets are popular in Eastern culture; this is almost an obligatory element of the dress code. And on the attached postcard, the time, place and dress code are indicated.

Oriental party meets by clothes

If the party is planned in an oriental style, it is advisable to choose the appropriate costumes for the participants. The hostess of the holiday is always an oriental princess, the host is a sheikh or padishah, okay, a wandering Bedouin. It makes no sense to talk a lot about women's oriental costumes, everyone perfectly imagines their general appearance. It is impossible to spoil such a costume with jewelry, the more of them, the better, and in the most unexpected places. More glitter, ringing, radiance, embroideries - you can make costumes at home, with your own hands.

It is worth mentioning only about makeup, although here it is also easy to imagine the main trends. In oriental style, makeup plays an important role. Emphasis on the eyes, the characteristic curve of the eyebrows is emphasized, and more color. Natural colors imitating gold or turquoise are welcome, black should be extremely saturated.

An oriental women's costume, by the way, can be built in such a way that it is the eyes that come to the fore. The whole figure is wrapped in a sari, the head and face are covered with a scarf, and only the eyes .... Mind-blowing, bright and beautiful, you won’t see such makeup just like that on the street, but for a party it’s just right. How to apply oriental makeup correctly, Google and Yandex will advise, just don’t get carried away.
As for the men's oriental costume, there are also a lot of ideas. But there is a common detail for the roles of even a Bedouin, even Aladdin: a turban. You will have to practice a little to learn how to lay the fabric in a turban. A robe that hides all other elements of clothing is highly desirable. The robe, of course, should have an oriental ornament, then you will have to take less care of the rest of the costume elements.

We decorate the room for an oriental party

Agree, oriental costumes will look strange in a high-tech room. The room is also decorated in an oriental way. For a party, fabric decor is suitable, well, and increased attention to detail. Oriental outdoor party can be held in a rented tent. To give a small room the maximum resemblance to the chambers of an Arab sheikh, again, drapery with a cloth will help.

You need to take a very light, flowing fabric and fasten a couple of large pieces around the chandelier. Hanging panels are spread in the corners and fixed so that they hide the walls at the same time, and the semblance of a tent is ready. On the walls, too, hang fabric panels, if it is already impossible to drape the entire room completely. The pleasure is expensive, but the oriental decor should not be allowed to look cheap, because the east is associated with luxury. It is better to try to rent this fabric, or use paper wallpaper instead, although the latter is only a last resort.

An important element is the carpet, at least one, and the more colorful, the better. It is good if the entire floor is covered with a carpet (or carpets), but it is enough that there is a table for guests on such a carpet. A hookah is desirable (it can be fake, to create the appropriate atmosphere), chased dishes, daggers and swords. All this is illuminated, if you stick to the oriental style to the end, with soft diffused light, no powerful chandeliers. At the same time, the lighting must allow the gold present to shine properly, so balance is important.

Treats and entertainment at an oriental party

Parties are not complete without treats, and there is certainly entertainment there. Based on the stated theme, here they must also be oriental. The presence on the menu, for example, pork is highly undesirable, as well as seafood. Lamb, on the other hand, will very much come in handy, pilaf or stew can use rabbit meat, poultry meat. Any hearty, fatty meat dish served with spices and always with greens will not contradict the oriental idea of ​​​​a party.

Oriental style allows the absence of cutlery - forks with spoons. You can eat only with the help of bread, which is recommended to break with your hands and lay in a slide in convenient places on the table. If the party is supposed to be using bread instead of cutlery, guests should be able to rinse their fingers in flavored water. It is clear that oriental bread is also preferable, which we have on sale. And these are not our Slavic loaves at all, requiring the obligatory use of a knife.

For dessert, sweets are served, also oriental, like halva or candied fruits. Fresh fruits are also required, and in large quantities. All this will serve as a table decoration at the same time. Moreover, preparing oriental dishes is relatively simple. Accordingly, drinks should also be oriental. Traditionally in the East it is not accepted to use strong alcohol in such situations.

Entertainment in oriental parties is inextricably linked with treats. No wonder it is believed that the people of the East - Persians and Arabs - come together for delicious food. Therefore, the table will always be the key object of an oriental party. Nobody denies all sorts of contests, dances, outdoor games. Some of them can be carried out without interrupting the goodies, others will serve as a rest, a change in activity from passivity to activity and vice versa.

Music, along with the decoration of the room and costumes, gives the party a special "oriental". If this music, of course, is correctly chosen, it will help the participants to create the right mood. For starters, it is recommended to select melodies that are quiet, calm, immersing unobtrusively into an oriental atmosphere. Later, for dancing, melodies are chosen more energetic, incendiary. In any case, the music should be thematic.

Tired of the classic schemes for the New Year? Then try something completely different!

Hot nights, desert ships and fairy tales for the night - we offer to experience all this by organizing the New Year in an oriental style.

Such a holiday will not leave indifferent anyone present, whether they are office colleagues or closest friends. Read our recommendations carefully, and we are sure that you will be able to make an enchanting holiday in the style of the East without any problems.

When organizing such a holiday, it must be remembered that the East is not only a delicate matter, but also an exquisite one. That is why, it is worth carefully approaching all the little things.

For example, it is better to place invitations that you will send out to your guests in individual envelopes and seal them with sealing wax - you must admit that such an invitation is not given to you every day :).

It is also strictly necessary to treat the decoration of the premises. A large number of pillows, an oriental table that does not require chairs, and, of course, a large number of candles and flowers will create the necessary atmosphere.

Original lanterns and imitation tents can also be used as decorative ornaments.

Serving dishes and tables should fully comply with the oriental theme - more silk and gold, use the following ideas to recreate an authentic atmosphere at the holiday.

Do you want to leave our tradition of decorating a fir tree? Then use toys and decor in oriental style.

Women at the festival can be similar to the oriental only in part :). That's why you can take the most beautiful elements from the outfits of these amazing women - flowing silhouettes, bright cat makeup, henna hand painting and crazy waves of attraction.

Your outfit can be bold and open or more European but with oriental influences.

Do not forget that for the New Year in the oriental style it is necessary to invite our Slavic sultans too :). Those who are braver can dress like real rich Arabs. Those who do not like themed holidays can only imitate a costume using, for example, a arafatka!

The main entertainment of the evening can be invited belly dancers. By the way, later, you can conduct a training master class among everyone.

Doesn't that surprise you? What about dancers with live snakes? :).

The most original guests of the holiday can be artists specializing in organizing fire shows.

Also, when preparing the New Year in oriental style, you can rent a restaurant in the same style, where there is a hookah hall - many guests will be surprised to taste oriental delights 🙂

You should also take care of an exotic corner where everyone will take photos as a keepsake :).

As treats, it is best to choose oriental traditional dishes:

• Tagine.
• Couscous.
• Baba ganouge, hummus, fatayer or tabouleh.

Also, do not forget about the sweets that are adored in the East.

An excellent idea would be a candy-bar decorated in an oriental style.

There you can place sweets more familiar to the Slavs, made in the style of the holiday.

From music, you can use various oriental motifs that you can only find on the Internet.

Happy New Year, dear readers!

East as an idea for a party will help take guests to a beautiful and special world. A party organized in oriental style will provide an opportunity to take a break from noisy and cramped clubs with modern loud music.Room preparation
To hold a party, you will need a room free from unnecessary items. Since the rest is planned in oriental style, guests should be located on the floor. Therefore, all tables and chairs must be taken out.
For decoration, you will need a beautiful fabric to use it to create a tent. You will need any flowing fabrics such as silk, satin or brocade. Fabric color can be orange, red, yellow or blue. The design should be bright.
The fabric from the center of the ceiling should diverge to the sides and go down to the floor. Since the fabric will require additional investments, you can get by with paper wallpaper with the appropriate color. Or combine a tent made of fabric and paper. Alternatively, you can create only half of the tent.
After creating the tent, you will need beautiful carpets. The floor needs to be fully carpeted. If there are not enough carpets, then they need to cover the most prominent areas of the floor where the tables will be.

Accessories

Arrange low ottomans and small sofas in the tent. In order to have enough places for all guests, you will need beautiful pillows that need to be laid out at the tables. Tables should be small and low. You can put a hookah.
Particular attention should be paid to dishes. Try to find dishes painted with beautiful patterns, jugs, bowls, trays. If this is not at home, you can ask friends or rent it in restaurants or cafes of oriental cuisine.
For oriental flavor and festivity, the tent needs to be decorated with lanterns, fans, paintings, daggers. Pictures of the desert, camels, horses, oases, fabulous paintings of padishahs and Arab princesses are well suited.
Arrange vases with greenery and flowers.
Party lighting should be diffused without glare. Chandeliers are well curtained with cloth or paper. It is necessary to create twilight, but it is important not to overdo it otherwise the guests will want to sleep.
Prepare music selections. You can invite professional dancers who diversify the evening.
The room must be designed in accordance with the recreation program. If dancing is expected, then tables and cushions should be arranged in such a way as to leave room for dancing in the middle. If any performances, belly dances, skits are expected, then you can prepare a small stage. The stage can be separated by a curtain and decorated with balls, beads and ribbons. It is enough to lay a fluffy and bright carpet on the floor, which differs from others in its color.
An oriental party can be held in any room, in nature or in a garden. Indoors, you can decorate with flowing fabrics in the shape of a tent. In nature or in the garden, you can rent a tent.

What menu to prepare?
If the party is held in the city, then oriental cuisine can be ordered at home. It is better to make an order in advance and discuss the time so that guests do not have to wait. Before placing an order, you need to find out about the reputation of the institution and the quality of the food. The advantage of purchasing dishes in establishments with oriental cuisine is ordering dishes. In addition to ordered dishes, you can prepare fruits, drinks, light desserts, snacks and salads. If there is no place to order oriental food, then you can cook it yourself. Cookbooks or the Internet will come to the rescue.

There are no special dress code requirements. The main thing is that it should correspond to the oriental style.

Party Scenario
How well the party will go depends on its preparation. Therefore, it is important to think over every detail of the evening. Guests must be warned in advance about the theme of the evening so that they can prepare their outfits. You can find out the opinion of the guests about the celebration, in which competitions they would like to participate or maybe they want to help. When organizing a holiday with guests, you can share responsibilities. So you can share between all cooking, competitions, concert performances and games.
All guests must be greeted in oriental attire. Approaching guests should be greeted with a bow and wishes for a good rest in the evening. Such a meeting will help guests feel the peculiarity of the east.
All incoming guests are bypassed by the Sultan or Scheherazade with prepared sheets with tasks for the evening. For example, the distribution of the roles of the Sultan, dancers, concubines, storytellers. Guests without looking, choose one sheet.
An invitation to the table. Concert numbers, karaoke singing, competitions and games can be held in between treats.
The host of the evening can be Scheherazade or the Sultan, who will determine the transition of the party from one to another. They will invite to a feast, invite to participate in games, organize contests.
The entertainment part of the party. Conducting dances and outdoor games. Guests can play backgammon, retire to the hookah room, chat, listen to music or go dancing.
For a party, you can prepare separate rooms so that guests can do whatever they want without interfering with each other.
On the instructions of someone, you can appoint an astrologer who will guess by the stars and jokingly answer questions.

Games
For competitions, quizzes and games, you need to prepare prizes. Everyone is pleased to receive a prize, albeit a small one.
Competition "Cities and countries". For this competition, you will need a map and two copies of the city names printed on paper. For the competition, guests need to be divided into two teams. Each team has a limited time to put the names of the cities into envelopes with the names of the countries "Japan" and "China". After the time is up, the participants must themselves check the correctness of their answers on the map. The winning team can be rewarded, and the losing team can come up with a punishment.
Game "Wish". To play, you need an Aladdin lamp. Participants make a wish for the performance of an oriental song in karaoke of a guest sitting next to them, belly dance or tell a fairy tale.
Competition "The best oriental costume".
Alternatively, you can go outside and launch lanterns with wishes into the sky. And at the end, award guests in a variety of categories.
Prizes depend on the budget of the holiday. Prizes can be jewelry, pendants, jugs, crockery and carpets.

We may not know the intricacies of Arab ethnic culture as such, but all of us, both kids and adults, will smile, remembering fairy tales known from childhood, sit cross-legged on the floor and drink sherbet in small sips. We may not understand dance at all, but we all know about belly dancing - the unique art of speaking with the movement of the body. And yet, we, far from Islam, Russians, are madly attracted by a showcase with unique Arabic sweets, fragrant spices, and incense. We are delighted with handmade kaftans and dresses with intricate embroidery. And we are just crazy about the mystery of Arab women hiding their faces behind a transparent veil.

But is it really possible to recreate all this oriental beauty at home? How to make sure that all the guests who come to the holiday, from the very doorstep, plunge into the sea of ​​​​fabulous Arab bliss and be delighted with everything that happens? Our experts already know the answer to these questions!

Preparing for a party for couples in love "Arabian Night"

ARAB PARTY INVITATIONS

Using the method of associations, we determine the most characteristic and recognizable forms for the Arab holiday. For me, of course, this is a turban, Aladdin's lamp, a silk scarf, a manuscript, a crescent moon, a flying carpet. I think that for most of your guests who are familiar with Arab culture only by hearsay - too. Let's add a pinch of fantasy and a bit of artistic talent to this fabulous knowledge and get a unique spicy dish called Arabic love invitations!

Option 1. Padishah's turban

Such an invitation card will inform your guests that a truly grandiose, royal holiday is being prepared! For such an invitation, you will need: a sheet of white tracing paper, a piece of black felt, a swan feather, a few red rhinestones, scissors, glue. Also, it would be nice to stock up on a few sheets of white cardboard with an openwork pattern, but cardboard of such texture is a rarity on sale. You can replace openwork cardboard by gluing a piece of vinyl wallpaper similar in style to ordinary cardboard.

The principle and sequence of manufacturing: carefully glue the tracing paper to the openwork blank. Let the card base dry a bit. In the meantime - cut out a rectangle from felt, then - round off its edges. Using glue, attach the rectangle to the workpiece. And then - we decorate the turban to our liking - we glue rhinestones, a feather and other decorations to it that you will like.

Option 2. Edge of temptation

Arab girls, even revealing some parts of their bodies in the dance, continue to hide their faces from prying eyes. Why not embody this contradiction in a beautiful invitation card? Modesty and passion, prohibition and permission, appeal and rejection - this is the essence of the Arabian night on Valentine's Day!

For such a postcard, you should look for: vinyl wrapping paper (we took with a pink floral print, as this color corresponds to the holiday in honor of which the party is being organized), a couple of meters of pink ribbon and ready-made ribbon flowers decorated with beads or large beads. The manufacturing method is very simple: fold a square of vinyl in half, and on the front side, cut off the upper right corner diagonally. Glue a piece of pink tape (5 cm wide) to the cut. “Tie” the card with a belt and fasten the ribbon rose - buckle. Inside the card, insert another sheet with the text of the invitation, handwritten in the style of Arabic calligraphy.

Option 3. Sheikh's order

The basis of such an invitation is a sheet of paper folded into a tube with text (the form of an ancient papyrus-decree). A flask for the "decree" can serve as a piece of ordinary plastic mesh, which is used to pack flowers. The final touch is a white transparent bow to secure the invitation and give it the shape of a tube.

In addition to the handmade options we offer, you can also search for printed invitation cards in the Arabic style.

A few more words about the text:

“Dear _________ (boy and girl names)! We invite you to take a closer look at what is called "love in Arabic". Come visit us on ______ (date) at _______ (time). A lot of surprises are waiting for you: we will cook fabulous sherbet, hookah and learn how to dance belly dance. And yet, you will be met by a real oriental fortune-teller who will predict your fate for the next hundred years! Don't forget the dress code! Arabic costumes - your pass to the holiday! Waiting for you! You will remember this Valentine's Day for the rest of your life!

DECOR AND JEWELERY IN ARABIC STYLE

Now, dear hosts of the event, your main task is not to disappoint your guests! After all, they expect a bright extravaganza from you! Feast of Passionate Feelings! And what, first of all, forms the appropriate mood? Of course, the “atmosphere” surrounding your guests! Don't waste time! Start charging the atmosphere of your home with the aura of the hot Arabian night!

Arch - heart

At the entrance to your friends' house, you should be greeted by a heart-shaped arch and a "Be my Valentine!" banner. Perhaps this is the only "heart" attribute of the holiday. This decoration will instantly create an intimate mood for your guests. Perhaps this is the main (and only) function of the arch. Further - only oriental symbols.

Garlands under the ceiling

Electric strings of white lights, fixed under the ceiling in a chaotic manner, will help create the effect of a starry sky in your home. What could be better for a romantic Arabian night?

Drapery fabrics

Bright silk, organza, brocade and velvet are luxurious fabrics that should be used to decorate walls and cover all furniture to create a visualization of an Arabian rich tent in the room. Use red, orange, gold colors. On the floor should be laid carpets with an intricate pattern, made to match the fabrics of the drapery.

Arabic style table decor

Low Arabic tables should be placed along the walls so that you can sit around them. The main advantage of this layout is the free middle of the room. If you are thinking of organizing a dance master class, you simply won’t find the best option for organizing space!

And a few more tips for decorating holiday tables. Tablecloths buy plain, silk, or - two-color. And randomly scatter seat cushions around the table, made in the same tone as the tablecloth. Thus, you will bring the festive atmosphere of your home as close as possible to the tent of Scheherazade!

Take dishes, glasses and other cutlery with gilding. Arab culture approvingly and respectfully treat this precious metal. And on golden plates they serve treats only for the most dear and honored guests!

Hourglass, candles, aroma lamps

The subtle aroma of incense emanating from the spout of Aladdin's lamp, candles in beautiful candlesticks, huge hourglasses symbolizing the mysterious "sands of time" - there is nothing better to create a distinct effect of "presence"!

Brass lanterns and kerosene lamps

Brass lanterns and kerosene lamps can also be used as decorative items for an Arabic party. True, it is better not to light kerosene lamps (especially if the room for the holiday is poorly ventilated), since when burning kerosene, an unpleasant (and very harmful) smoke can fill the room.

Treasure chest

A real chest made by ancient masters can be bought at an antiques store. Fill it with coins, "precious" jewelry, and other treasures. You can decorate the central table of the holiday with such splendor - for sure, the chest will cause a lot of admiration among your guests.

flower arrangements

Fresh flowers will add more charm and sensuality to an Arabic Valentine's Day party. True, you need to select exotic, tropical types of flowers with brightly colored petals for the holiday. Orchids, violets, carnations, lotuses - exactly what you need!

COSTUMES FOR LOVERS IN ARABIC STYLE

Well, your house is ready to meet honorable Arab guests! Look again at everything around with a critical eye. So yes! Beautiful! Even a Moroccan sheikh would consider it an honor to dine in such a luxuriously decorated room! If only he would honor you with his presence on the Day of Love! Moreover, he brought with him his entire harem, both dancers and musicians! Then the Arabian night would be filled with juice, meaning, fun!

Why am I? And besides, you, as the host of the party, need to do everything to set your guests on the Arab wave and convince them to wear exotic oriental costumes. You can offer guests some relevant ideas for choosing an Arabic outfit. For example, they can dress up as princes and princesses of Persia, sultans, genies, girls from the sultan's harem, sheikhs, sorcerers, snake charmers, and others. About some of the possible outfits - in more detail.

Sultan (sheikh) costume

The Sultan is the head of state, the most influential person in the Muslim official hierarchy. While the sheikh is the official religious leader or representative of an influential Arab house. However, more often we meet the appeal "sheikh" or "shaitan" to a person of breathtakingly sexual appearance. So the image of the sheikh is the best fit for our romantic holiday!

Costume details: headdress, belt, outerwear and bloomers tied tightly around the ankles. The headdress can be either a traditional, Arabic scarf, fastened with jute around the head, or a turban, decorated with jewelry. Outerwear - a long shirt, caftan, or vest. As an accessory that completes the image, you can use a dagger or sword.

Harem princess costume

A real sultan has a huge harem! And, of course, for the most honored guests, he selects the most beautiful girls as companions! The costume of a harem princess can be both exotic, but modest, or very open and seductive. Arab women wear loose harem pants made of transparent fabrics that fit snugly around the waist and ankles, and bustiers (both with sleeves and without). A small crown or other hair ornament completes the look. But it is not mandatory.

Arab dancer costume

The dancer's costume is very similar to that of the harem princess. But there is one very significant difference. To create "music of the body" the dancer needs a special belt made of coins (or bells) and castanets. Most often, dancers wear long, flowing, light skirts and trousers, decorated with threads of coins on the belt. The top of the costume is a dense top, made of the same flowing fabric, decorated with beads, rhinestones, precious stones and fringe. You can also add a veil to the costume, which will add mystery and emphasize the beauty of the eyes.

Genie costume

The role of genie at your holiday can be played by both boys and girls. And who said that genie girls who fulfill their cherished desires do not exist? Your holiday is just created in order to refute this opinion!

In principle, a genie costume consists of the same details as other Arabic-style outfits. However, the main difference is that the "genie" carries a lamp with him from which he emerges.

A few costume ideas for Arab couples

If you want your costume and the costume of your loved one to play in unison this evening, make them in the same style and color scheme. And also - choose for yourself the appropriate roles that are in harmony with each other. For example, try to transform into a sultan and a harem princess, a sheikh and a dancer, Aladdin and Jasmine.

Scenario for adults "Insert a word"

But these words can be used for a completely different entertainment. It is some kind of competition. At a certain point in the evening, you give all the guests sheets of paper with written phrases that include Japanese words.

In order to come up with these phrases, you can use the words above. Examples of such phrases can be: “But my kimono is not finished”, “Now I will show you my favorite karate trick”, “One more word - and hara-kiri cannot be avoided”, “What kind of brave shogun is sitting in front of me?”, “Oh , passion, I love to sing under karaoke”, “Just the same mystery of Sudoku”, “Banzai!!!” Each piece of paper should contain one such statement.

The competition rules are as follows: everyone should insert their phrase during a conversation or some other fun at least three times. This phrase should not be pronounced meaninglessly, but, so to speak, "in the subject." We advise you not to limit this game by time.

But still, warn the guests that the first one to complete this task will receive a valuable prize.

This entertainment practically does not need a description. But the only thing you need to do is point out the Japanese origin of this word. But still, we advise you to choose songs with oriental notes. In any pop disc, there are sure to be 2-3 such songs.

If your company is especially active, then sing all together, and best of all, choose "oriental beauties" for backup dancers.

Best Oriental Beauty

Choose the best oriental diva (Japanese, Indian, etc.). We propose the following criteria for evaluating participants:

1) best suit;

3) the best oriental dance.

The first two criteria require the home preparation of "beauties". The dance can be prepared in advance, or it can be a real improvisation. If you have a mixture of styles, then it is best for girls to perform a belly dance. Skill is not required.

I advise you to put a belt of coins on the girl. Surely one of your friends is engaged in belly dancing. It is fashionable now, just ask this person to give it to you for the evening, and best of all, invite her to your evening. Coins on such scarves, if you hang it on your belt, ring even during normal walking.

So don't let the members worry: A simple figure-of-eight movement of the hips or strikes will make the coins ring very loudly. One option might be to perform an Egyptian dance. To do this, you just need to take postures with your hands. The simplest dance, in our opinion, is still the Japanese dance. But for him you need to prepare props, namely 2 fans. Of course, you can make them yourself, but we advise you to purchase two small hand fans from the store. Feel free to buy them.

Be sure that they will not gather dust aimlessly in your apartment after the party. They are so adorable that you can put them on any shelf as a souvenir, as my friend did, or hang them on the wall with photos as a memento of your fun party. And in hot weather, you can use them for their intended purpose.

For Japanese dance, each girl must have two fans in her hand. It looks very impressive when they open at the same time. During the dance, you can cover your face with open fans. The same type of movement can be done on your knees, sitting, standing.

Don't forget how a Japanese woman should bow at the beginning of the dance and at the end. Please note that the gait should be small mincing steps, otherwise the Japanese woman will be "fake". We advise you not to include the whole song.

It is better to let the girls dance in turn for 1–1.5 minutes. If the dance is prepared in advance, then let it be almost a whole song.

After all the evaluations, the jury chooses the most natural oriental beauty. It is best if the jury is as objective as possible. After all, everyone was preparing and you can easily offend any girl.

So the best option would be to award the nominations "The Most Hardworking", "The Most Natural Oriental Diva", "The Most Charming".

Game "Twist"

You can buy this game in the store. But you can do it yourself. For it you will need: 25 sheets of A4 format, on the sheets you need to print or draw the outline of the palm and the outline of the foot. Inside each foot, you insert the outline of a cube with a number from 1 to 6 inside. You do this randomly.

This game can be played both by one couple and by a group of friends, and the company must include both girls and young people. The host rolls the die and calls out the name, the number that has fallen out and the part of the body: right hand, left hand, right foot, left foot and maybe the head. Example: Katya - left leg 6, Sasha - left leg 2, Katya - right leg 3, Sasha - right leg 4, Katya - right arm 1, Sasha - right leg 2, etc. As a result, everything is intertwined, legs and arms are leaving.

The poses are very exotic - hence the name.

This section is one of the most interesting. In no case do not neglect it, as the oriental atmosphere will be created to a greater extent by costumes. It is in them that guests will truly feel like representatives of the East. If your party will be in a purely Japanese style, then for the guys costumes are practically not difficult.

Almost everyone has friends who have done or are still doing oriental wrestling. In this case, you just need to borrow a kimono from them. Kimono is usually white. Usually only the colors of the belts differ. If not everyone has a black belt, then you can easily make it from any rope by tying it over a kimono.

When you find a friend with a suit, then try to find his friends, because everyone who has done, for example, karate, must have a kimono. Don't forget about the fairer sex. After all, girls are engaged in different types of wrestling.

You can also invite that very friend or girlfriend to the holiday, i.e. those who did it. But do not forget to warn your guest that he, as a connoisseur of oriental culture, is simply obliged to demonstrate his skills. Let this be a short speech, consisting of techniques.

But do not forget that this number will require additional space for the stage.

Nevertheless, a kimono, especially if it is for men, will look very good on the representatives of the stronger sex. For girls, we advise you to make a costume from the directly upper part of the kimono and skirt. The skirt should preferably begin under the bust, and its length should be up to the ankles.

If girls don't want to wear a kimono, then any large piece of fabric can help here. you will need to wind it up so that the sleeves are as wide as possible, and fasten the fabric in the middle with a huge brooch. This "blouse" looks very impressive. Recently, all kinds of sweaters and dresses with a high collar and buttons sewn vertically at the throat have been in fashion.

They will be a great costume for an oriental style party. As a last resort, as a costume for girls, you can use a regular silk robe, fastening it with all the buttons.

Japanese girls should not forget about the appropriate makeup and hairstyle. Try to make your face as white as possible, for this, just use a shade of powder 1-2 tones lighter than your skin color. Of course, the most suitable option would be white.

Eyebrows and eyes should be made up brightly, they should be summed up with a black pencil. Lips, optionally pink or peach. http://site

Don't forget your hair. It is necessary to tightly collect all the hair in a bun and insert two sticks. If this hairstyle does not suit you at all, then we advise you to leave the bangs. You will find hair sticks in any department with hairpins and combs.

If you do not want to buy them, then they can be easily cut from ordinary pieces of wood, sharpening the end on one side and leaving it thick enough on the other. You can draw lines and curls on such sticks with a marker. If you do not want to do them at all, then you can do it differently. You just stick disposable chopsticks in your head, you can also buy them in the napkins and other table accessories department or in a Chinese restaurant or sushi bar. They are usually sold in packs of two or twelve.

But in order for the sticks on your head and for food not to match, we advise you to decorate the hair sticks with a marker.

We figured out the external "Japanese" look, now let's move on to a mixed party. Any Arab girl can look like this: a veil, which can be any scarf tied on the face just below the eyes, or, in the most extreme case, even a pareo, blouse or topic, preferably, should be with a deep neckline and with a huge amount of rhinestones and embellishments. Try to wear jewelry.

Crosses here, as you understand, will be out of place, but pendants with large pendants will perfectly harmonize with your oriental style. Don't forget big bangles, rings, and brightly painted and lined eyes. On the bottom, you can wear both wide pants and long skirts with a yoke, or flared down. We also suggest that you wear belts and belts on this day, if they are associated with the East. Most often, these are metal belts, consisting of rings fastened to each other.

If you can’t find a suit at all, then you can do the following: put on a swimsuit top and sew all kinds of beads on the bodice. If you have beads as Christmas decorations, then you can sew them on this bodice in such a way that it resembles the top of a belly dancer costume.

For men, in this case, any bathrobe will do. Instead of a turban, you can wrap a towel on your head in such a way as to attach a large brooch inside. The Sultan's costume will be provided to you.

You can easily make an Indian costume (something like a national sari) with a long piece of cloth. It can be decorated with braid and beads along one edge. It is necessary to wind this piece of matter so that one part of it covers the head, and its continuation is wrapped as if it were a skirt. The transition from the head to the bottom should preferably be vertical and pass in front.

We suggest you take an ordinary table and unscrew its legs. Thus, it will become so low that it will be more convenient to sit behind it on the floor. Take care of pillows in advance, you can use pillows from the sofa, and blankets that will create comfort and make your floor softer. Do not forget about chopsticks, umbrellas as salad decorations. Also, to give the table an oriental flavor, place deep dishes with floating flower buds on the table. Large floating peony buds look especially beautiful on the table.

In the water, if there are no flowers, place floating candles and do not forget to light them. Candles in the water will add oriental comfort to the feast.

Enough has been said about decorating the table, now you need to move on to the most delicious requisite of the evening: the choice of dishes. Here you can name dishes almost without stopping. But you need to remember the main thing: cook rice for a side dish, and the main dish is fish. Sushi, rolls and other trendy dishes will also bring great joy to your guests: they will never see such a party in a sushi bar. We also advise you to prepare salads with squid, crab sticks, sea kale, etc. Remember: the main dishes are seafood.

If the party is not Japanese, but is a mixture of oriental styles, then you can safely cook lagman, bizhbarmak, Korean carrot, adjika. Here, the main theme may simply be spicy food.

Alcohol is an important moment in the preparation of the table. Now on the shelves of stores there is a huge selection of oriental drinks. Chinese wine, beer with various Japanese names, you can even find rice vodka if you try hard.

But do not overdo it, otherwise your "Eastern" guests will behave in a very non-Eastern way.

As for the selection of music and decoration of the apartment, here you must enter the role of a designer and think through everything to the smallest detail. To create an oriental flavor, you will need to make your room more comfortable and welcoming. To do this, you can use the candles, which we have already talked about above, or simply dim the light. As many velvet pillows, carpets and figurines as possible.

Velvet has the ability to make a room softer and warmer. If you have pieces of material that looks like velvet, then cover chairs and blankets with it. If you have a large fan, then be sure to hang it, if not, then you can make it yourself. Take a piece of paper, draw an oriental ornament or a sakura branch on it and fold it like an accordion, as you fold a notebook sheet.

Hang blades and swords on the wall, any weapon, even a toy one. Now toy swords look very believable. Draw a dragon on the Whatman paper, cut it out and also hang it on the wall. The fiery dragon looks very impressive.

Also on the Internet you can find a huge number of black and white pictures that show the outlines of Chinese houses. You can simply print them on a printer and simply hang them on the wall in black and white. Also, for a romantic mood, the outlines of the Indian tomb Taj Mahal are suitable.

In general, try not to be limited to our advice.

As for music, as we noted at the very beginning of the book, look on your computer. Surely you have at least one Japanese game in it. Any Arabic motifs will also do.

Be sure to try to immerse yourself in the eastern world. If we managed to convince you, then you will never forget about this evening.
