Kentucky Derby Party Drink Ideas
Party Drink Ideas for a Kentucky Derby Party should reflect the sporty, All-American spirit of the greatest race of them all. Adults could enjoy wines, wine spritzers, champagne, vodkas and rums, and other beverages typically served at a racetrack. And don’t forget the Mint Julep, the signature drink of the Kentucky Derby! Just make sure that no one who imbibes alcohol is driving—or for that matter—riding home afterward! Tea totalers and younger people could enjoy themed drinks such as Secretariat Soda, Colt Cola, and Pony Punch. All of these drinks could be served in mugs shaped like horses’ heads, glasses and cups emblazoned with the images of horses, and—best of all, if they’re available—special mugs that commemorate Kentucky Derby races. Another option would be to offer all drinks in novelty cups that liken troughs.
Kentucky Derby Gift Ideas
Gift Ideas that feature Kentucky Derby Favors should be as fun and unexpected as the race itself. Commemorative books that concern the history of the Kentucky Derby race would make perfect presents, as would T-shirts, posters, bumper stickers and decals that represent the Kentucky Derby; as well as glossy photos of famous horses and jockeys involved in the race. Other gifts could include DVDs of previous Derby races, or perhaps a documentary that portrays the career of a Kentucky Derby legend like Secretariat and Silver Charm. A Kentucky Derby charm bracelet might also be appropriate; one bearing charms that represent various aspects of the Run for the Roses, like miniature horses, roses, jockeys, etc. Roses, be they real, plastic, paper or porcelain also would make great gifts, particularly for female partygoers.
Kentucky Derby Party Theme
Keep the party theme flowing throughout each aspect of
the event. First, the party invitations set the theme and tone of
the occasion. Some guests will bring gifts based on the Kentucky Derby
party theme. Use Kentucky Derby
decorations, centerpieces,
tablecovers, Thank you notes, invitations, party supplies, hats, blowouts, confetti,
paper plates, cups, napkins etc. Complete the Kentucky Derby party theme
with Kentucky Derby party favors.

The first Saturday in May is the yearly Kentucky Derby horse race, so make sure to plan ahead for the appropriate Kentucky Derby Party Supplies and a smashingly good time. Invite your guests using Derby language (surf around on the Net for hints and tips from the pros), asking guests to come to the 'track', with the 'trainers' as the hosts of the special event. Offer lots of food in as many horseshoe shapes as possible: Jello molds, salmon mousse, ice cubes, cupcake icing - the works. Your tables should be covered in flowers (red roses if it's affordable), and lots of chocolate horses.
