HOW TO IMPRESS WITH YOUR VISUAL DISPLAY Decor wise, I love the idea of finding old trophies and putting roses in them. Filling julep cups with flowers is always a good idea too. I did that for my July wedding. You can order Derby party supplies from many companies. Party City has some fun items. https://www.partycity.com/kentucky-derby-party-supplies Set up your display a few days ahead of time. That way, you can add more if you need to. |

PARTY FAVORS This is perfect if you are hosting a Derby themed baby, bridal, wedding or birthday party. You can get julep cups, purchase mini Woodford Reserve bottles, make a bit of simple syrup (it’s SO easy), paper straws and ribbon. Creative and festive. |

Loving the idea of a fascinator? We have many options. Serena is new and from our Great Women and Great Hats line. We named this handmade one of a kind stunner after the legendary tennis player Serena Williams. Serena was the former world No. 1 in women’s single tennis.

TRY A HAT CONTEST! Select an impartial attendee to pick his or her favorite! Nothing spurs people to dress up more than a contest. Encourage people to have fun with this. Some people have a hat parade. Awards can be for Most Original, Best Couple, Most Winner’s Circle Worthy, etc. You get the idea. While this trophy may be a little over the top, you get the idea! The most important thing with any party is how your guests feel. Make them feel: 1. At home 2. Treasured 3. Important Do those three things and they will remember your party for years. Also, take LOTS of pictures!
