How do I host a Derby party?
To throw a proper Derby party, you need a few things: bourbon for old fashioneds and mint juleps, a spread featuring hot chicken, macaroni and cheese, and pecan pie, and a decadent formal outfit featuring pastel colors and extravagant hats. Getting all this stuff together can be difficult but, luckily, Evite's blog features everything from a checklist for a full bar to a guide to menu planning to summer BBQ recipes to help you throw a memorable Derby party.

What is the etiquette for a Derby party?
The Derby party is a somewhat formal event, so decorations should be kept elegant and minimal. Traditionally, decorations feature roses (and other flowers), classic paintings or sculptures of horses. Most Derby parties also include a big buffet featuring Southern comfort food. Further, you should make sure that you have a big TV, along with an alarm clock to let you know when the race is about to begin (the actual race only lasts about two minutes). Evite's blog features a number of articles about hosting etiquette, the length of a party and creating a guest list.
When should I send Derby Invitations?
Because a Derby party entails specific food, clothing and drinks, Evite recommends sending invitations out a month before the date so that you (and your guests) have time to make the proper arrangements.
