...and they're off!



Run for the Roses this May 1st and have a stunning
Kentucky Derby Party!
Invite over your guests for drinks and southern snacks for the shortest sporting event on television!
The race is only 2 minutes long, but your guests will stay and mingle all afternoon with these award winning party ideas!
Start with this invitation of racing silks
(by Whitney English)
then prepare your biggest, most beautiful Derby hat!
These vinatage inspired Derby serving peices are perfect for the day

serving Derby Day southern snacks like sliced ham and cheese and bourbon sauce.

Sweet pecan tarts are perfect pick-me ups for after the race  and dinner. You'll need the other hand for a fan with the listings

and of course place your bets right away

while everyone enjoys a mint julep.
