Handmade Kentucky Derby Party Favors

The Kentucky Derby is a spirited horse race that is celebrated in grand style every year; so why not plan a winning Kentucky Derby party complete with homemade party favors.

Guests will have a lot of fun ‘horsing around’ with handmade party favors at a Kentucky Derby festivity. These could include small horses made of wood or plastic, and painted to reflect the different colors and looks of Derby contenders. In addition, favor boxes at a Kentucky Derby party could be decorated to look like red barns, while favor bags could be marked to liken feed bags.

Homemade party favors at a Kentucky Derby fest also could take an edible form. Guests will be delighted by chocolate horses, as well as by small gingerbread cookies baked in the shape of ponies. These could be served individually to guests, in favor boxes that resemble stalls. And at the party table, cheese and butter could be shredded to resemble hay; the meal of choice for most Derby horses!

Also at a Kentucky Derby party, a piñata in the shape of a horse’s head would be a big hit with guests; as would a beautiful centerpiece that likens the Derby racetrack, complete with toy horses and jockey dolls to line the track. A scene setter depicting a horse-filled meadow would make another nice touch, as would a bright plastic banner that shows a painting or photo of running horses.

Guests will ‘race’ to a Kentucky Derby party that comes complete with handmade party favors.
