What do you need for a mahjong party?
Mahjong Favorites from Amazon and Budget-Friendly Stores:
- FREE 2'x6' banner for download (print on vinyl so you can reuse...lasts longer than paper)
- DIY 2' Balloon Cluster Kit (Romey matches the banner, but Pink also pairs well)
- Great Mahjong Starter Set (with racks)
- Mahjong Tiles (tiles only)
- Rubber mat (set of 2) so your table and tiles don't get damaged (price is amazing)
- Hobby Lobby has the cheapest tiles if you want to test the waters first ($21.99)
- My favorite Amazon Mahjong finds
Food and Drink Ideas:
- Keep it simple! It's easier to eat with utensils so your hands don't get dirty (and tiles too!).
- My go-to is from Aldi: chicken salad, Sparkling Water, Sangria and Margaritas
How many players?
- 2-4 people to start learning! Traditionally, the game is played with 4.
- We started with partners--8 at a table--to learn how to play. 2 perimenopause brains are better than 1. ;-)
What decorations work best?
- Joyza balloons, duh! but seriously, they last up to 3 months indoors.
- These are my favorite Amazon Mahjong items
- Start small and simple...I waited to splurge on items after hosting weekly game nights for 3 months

Who's my favorite youtuber for mahjong tutorials? I love Southern Sparrow! I'm obsessed with her playlists and the way she makes learning mahjong so easy!!! Mahj 101 and how to read the card are my favorite and must watch videos.
