1. Add height

Add 1-2 serving small plates or serving trays. If you have a pedestal server, this is a great time to use it! 

2. Dips and jams

Place these in small bowls or in their original containers, with a small spoon.

3. Add cheese

Place a variety of sliced and whole chunks of cheese on the table. Make sure you have a cheese knife placed by it, and slice the first slice.

4. Add fruit and veggies

I want to make sure that there is COLOR interspersed throughout the grazing table. Arrange them in piles and in lines flanking the cheese.

5. Add meat

I like making tall piles of salami circles. Make a few salami roses for visual interest, if you have time!

6. Add everything else

Now, add nuts, desserts and crackers. Fill in all of the gaps and any empty areas. Place all of the serving utensils, and enjoy!

Toothpicks: Place these close small items that can be skewered.  Serving tongs: Place these around the edges. Small plates & Forks: Enough for each of your guests to have two rounds of charcuterie. Napkins: Cocktail sized napkins work great! Cheese knives: 1 for each whole block of cheese you plan to serve.
