We invited a few friends over to watch the Kentucky Derby, and we had a great time cheering our favorite horses on and celebrating the winner! I wanted to use decor that was tasteful and not too kitschy but still fun.
I created the decorative horseshoe by cutting the shape out of cardboard and then used hot glue to attach moss onto the cardboard. I also created the ribbons out of cardstock paper and followed this paper ribbon tutorial.
I printed out a giant leaderboard listing all the horses using our large-format printer. You could get it printed at an office supply store or print shop.
Our menu included:
The guests also brought appetizers and drinks to share.
