Hosting a mahjong party is a delightful way to bring friends and family together for an evening of fun, strategy, and friendly competition. Whether you’re a seasoned mahjong pro or new to the game, this guide will help you plan the perfect gathering with Oh My Mahjong products to elevate the experience. Let’s get started!
1. Send Out Invitations
First things first—invite your guests! You can send out digital invites, but for a more personal touch, consider using physical invitations that match your party’s theme. For example, if you’re using the Holly Jolly mat, send out invites with a subtle, chic holiday design to set the tone.
2. Set the Scene
Creating the right atmosphere is key to a successful mahjong party. Here’s how to do it:
Choose Your Mahjong Set: The centerpiece of your party is the mahjong set. The Shangri-La set is perfect for a classic, elegant feel, while the Dandy Tiles bring a playful pop of color. If you have something else in mind, stay tuned for a new set of tiles coming soon!
Select the Mat: A beautiful mat not only protects your table but also adds a decorative element to the game. The Merry Mahjong Mat is perfect for a red and green holiday-themed party, while the Sugarplum Mat is ideal for a colorful and whimsical holiday gathering.

3. Stock Up on Snacks and Drinks
No party is complete without delicious snacks and refreshing drinks. Consider offering:
- Mahjong-Themed Treats: Get creative with your snacks! Serve cookies shaped like mahjong tiles or a cake decorated to match your Oh My Mahjong set.
- Our personal favorite are these chocolate dipped fortune cookies!
- Beverage Bar: Set up a self-serve drink station with various options. Offer a signature cocktail or mocktail and use the Bamboo Mahjong Linen Napkins or the Mahj Holiday Napkins to add a stylish touch to your bar setup.
4. Play the Game

Document your mahjong party with photos and videos. Encourage guests to snap pictures throughout the night—these will be beautiful memories to look back on.
6. Send Guests Home with a Memento
Thank your guests for coming by sending them home with a little something special. Consider gifting them a small Oh My Mahjong product, like a line finder or a set of tile shufflers!
