Stock Your Bar
Offer your guests the traditional liquor, but you can also offer them a twist if you aren’t really a Mint Julep fan (gasp!).

Pick up food
A great way to make a party more manageable is to stop by one of our local bakers and pick up food -— you'll be supporting local businesses and taking the pressure off of yourself!
Order and pick up a delicious torte or casserole from Teri Lynn’s Catering.
