SO MUCH FUN!!!! I wanna come!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love me some peach bellinis!! Such good choices girly!! I can not WAIT to see pictures!!!
hahaha!!! Loved your comment! You are too cute! Your idea sounds amazing! When do we start? ;)
ReplyDeleteEverything sounds amazing and I wish I could come! I love the idea of stick horse races for the kids - they will have so much fun! The drinks sound amazing (I know I shouldn't be saying that). I don't do yardwork or really anything outside except for golf and walks and other things like that! I can't wait to hear more about the party and see pictures! My sorority has formal on derby day (I was not happy) so I'm making up my own theme and wearing a Lilly dress - I would have done that anyway but now they can't give me trouble! Have a great weekend getting ready for the big party!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing party! You will surely be the hostess-with-the-mostest! ;) CANNOT wait to see pictures and the adorable outfit you come up with. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeletePS - $1,000 sterling silver 136th kentucky derby mint julep cup by tiffany & co... drooling! If only....
ReplyDeleteOh this party sounds perfect in every way, shape and form! I so wish I could be on the fabulous guest list! You have really thought of everything, not that I am surprised in the least, you are always so amazing and thoughful. Can't wait to see your and Muffy's outfits, are you going to match? Is it warm enough to break out the Miss Trish sandals? I will pray for warm sunny weather for your party, but either way I know it will be a BLAST!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a perfect weekend! XOXO
