egg rolls, potstickers, crab rangoons, chicken wings with sweet and sour or general tso’s sauce, etc. all these finger foods can be bought frozen and then heated or you can make your own if you have enough time.
for party favors, try this site: http://www.japaneseweddingfavors.com/
one of my favorite gifts- and i reckon it’d be perfect for what you’re looking for- is the Lenox Silver Fortune Cookie… it looks like on this website you can get them cheap!

you could place them at all of the place settings or make them a part of the center pieces!
a excellent appetizer… maybe you could have someone make sushi, like california rolls- sooo excellent.
i’ve seen some really cute asian tea sets at world market (or any place like that)
hope this helps!
party favors-
origami instruction books
calligraphy pens/books
flowering tea sets or just different types of tea
Memoirs of a Geisha book or movie
sushi kit
outdoor paper lanterns (they have cool battery operated ones)
Asian cook books
lucky bamboo plants (you can use them as centerpieces for tables during party and when playing games tell guests those are free to pick from also)
anything oriental looking like candle holders, small wall art, picture frames
I always see tons of Asian type stuff in the stores- try Target, Walmart, Pier 1 Imports…anywhere really!
foods-
crab rangoon
pot stickers
egg rolls
fried rice
fortune cookies
sushi
they have most of these in your frozen food section, but check your local Chinese restaurant to see what their prices are and just order out!
make sure to have chopsticks for everyone and place foods and small prizes in take out containers (I see these all over party stores too)
you might even take the legs off your table and have everyone sitting on pillows on the floor to make it feel like you’re really in Japan or somewhere! find a CD of Asian music to play for a bit during the party also.
small table with chinese placemats and chopsticks are cool.
sushi and lobster is awsome to and shrimp
chopsticks and place mat sets, u get those chinese ones in sets
orientaltrading.com
u buy in bulk and its cheap!!
