It’s the race that stops a nation…apparently.

Here is what I like about horse racing:

1. Champagne
2. Dressing up
3. Laughing with friends
4. Champagne

That is why this Melbourne Cup, we will be getting together with some friends (and our babes of course) to partake in all of the above. Melbourne Cup is on Tuesday 4 November this year and we think it is a fantastic excuse to exercise your inner Minx.

Who has the time? Where do I start? Well that’s where we come to the rescue. We’ve put together a little package to help you on your way, which includes:

• Invitation template to email/facebook/snail mail friends: Melbourne Cup Invitation
• Some suggested drinks and food ideas – don’t forget to ask your guests to help out with a plate or bottle of something too! Melbourne Cup Catering Ideas
• Sweeps and instructions

Now that we’ve take care of the hard work, all you have to worry about is what you’re going to wear! It’ such a great excuse to get together with our mummy brethren for a chat and laugh. Something we should all be doing on a regular basis. We hope our little package makes it a bit easier.

We’d love to see some photos of your events, so don’t forget to #themummyandtheminx on Facebook and Instagram.
