Hello party people! I've got some hot tips for throwing the best home Derby Party. If you're from Louisville, you know that the Kentucky Derby is the premier event of the year, drawing attendees from all around the world. So if you're planning to throw a Derby Party at home, you need to make sure it's a party that your guests won't forget. Here are my top three tips for throwing the best home Derby Party:
Set the Scene with Decorations
One of the key elements of any great party is setting the scene. For a Derby Party, you want to create an atmosphere that's both sophisticated and fun. Decorate your home with classic Derby elements like horse racing art, horseshoes, jockey silks, and of course, plenty of roses. Don't forget to set up a photo booth area where your guests can take pictures with their friends, complete with fun props like oversized Derby hats and jockey goggles.
Serve up Southern Charm
When it comes to food and drinks, you want to keep things classy but fun. Serve up traditional Southern dishes like shrimp and grits, fried chicken, and Kentucky hot browns. For drinks, serve up classic cocktails like mint juleps and bourbon lemonades. Don't forget to have plenty of non-alcoholic options for your guests who prefer not to drink.
Beautify Your Lawn with Fresh Landscaping
Don't wait until the last minute to book a landscaper to give your lawn a fresh cut and some new landscaping features like colorful flowers, shrubs, and trees. You'll likely have guests spending time both indoors and outdoors. That means you want to make sure your lawn is looking its best. A beautiful lawn not only looks great, but it also provides a great backdrop for outdoor activities and entertainment.
So there you have it, my top three tips for throwing the best home Derby Party. With the right decorations, food and drinks, and landscaping, your guests are sure to have a great time. Remember, the Kentucky Derby is all about Southern charm, elegance, and tradition, so make sure your party reflects those values. Happy party planning!
