The Kentucky Derby is a pretty big deal, so much so that lots of people host their own Kentucky derby party. You can work to make your party a little original this year with some Mardi Gras flair to it. Guest will love the great food, loud music, colorful decorations and if you have the room and inclination the parade! Of course this is still a Kentucky Derby party so you'll have plenty of horse and racing related decorations and you can't forget to give the guests their classic mint juleps for the party.
Make sure the guests know that the party is going to have a Mardi Gras theme to it in the invitations you send. You can pick up some invitations with a Kentucky derby or horseracing theme and punch them up a bit by adding some colorful glitter. Carefully outline the picture with a thin bead of glue and sprinkle the glitter on it. Wait for it to dry, shake off the excess glitter and send in the mail.
You can pick up some fun masks to hand out to the guests when they arrive to the Kentucky derby party. There are some fun horseracing wall hangings you can plaster to the walls and get lots of balloons in the Mardi Gras colors with an emphasis on green since it matches the grass of the racing grounds.
Take advantage of some excellent Creole recipes when thinking up appetizers for this party. Bourbon Chicken is a tasty dish that can be made for easy pick up by the guests with the addition of toothpicks. Red rice and beans is another traditional dish and its ingredients are cheap so you save a little money to get goodies for a big ole' pot of jambalaya. The guests can dance to some music, share beads, eat good food and finally sit back to watch the races.
