Today: Party Planning / Making a Charcuterie Board Party Festive
The Wonderful Part: It doesn't matter what theme of foods you add to your table it will only add to the glamor of how it looks. Charcuterie boards always look well put together and that's part of its charm. It does the work all on its own. The tradition of the food being on wooden boards or marble is a beautiful move in itself. They do this so the food stays cool because most all the food is cold food. All you have to do is "holiday the table up" by adding festive decorations. But not too many.
Great Idea! A fun and easy way to mark the Holiday:
Nothing beats a great photo to get your party ideas flowing does it. So, I've picked out the photo above to help everyone plan their charcuterie board parties. Here I have a great example of a charcuterie table that marks the occasion of the day. A great way to have a fun holiday table is to mark it by using the food, according to what holiday it is. It's so easy to take a board and spell out what you're celebrating with the food. You can use small wheels of cheese, nuts, grapes, olives or any other small type of foods that you feel you could spell with.
Here's a few Food Spelling ideas for you
- For New Year's you can spell out what year you're celebrating just like the example above 🠝 shows.
- For a birthday party spell out the age the person is turning.
- Spell out the month your celebrating... like "JUNE"
- Spell out the word "LOVE" for weddings
- Spell out the word "LOVE" for Valentine's Day
- Spell out the word "LOVE" for an anniversary party or the #year together
- Spell out the word "CONGRATS" or "well done" for a congratulations party.
- Spell out the name of the person your celebrating. Like.... "PAM"
- For Christmas spell out the word "JOY"
- For Halloween spell out the word "BOO"
- For Thanksgiving spell out "THANKS"
- For Easter spell out the words "HE LIVES"
- For a Garden Party spell out the word "SPRING"
- For a Autumn Party spell out the word "FALL"
- Do you want to announce to your friends that your pregnant? Spell "BABY"
You get the idea right
There are many many many spelled words that you can use to decorate for your Charcuterie Board Party. The list is never ending. So mark that occasion! I think the main thing you will need to think about is how much space you have to spell the word. The fewer the letters the better it is - that's why I only went with short words for my examples.
Now don't forget to Frilly the table up some
It won't take very many added frillies to dress up a charcuterie table. A few glittery focal points here and there and your good to go. Take a look again at the top photo 🠝. It has a beautiful gold flower sitting to the right of the board that fills in some empty space. Use a couple stylish placemats to slightly show through the underside and that's all it needs.
The style of a charcuterie table has a bit of a rustic feel don't you think? I think it's because of all the wood platters that the food sits on so it's not necessary to have to play up the table to much. One simple decoration will go a long way.
Make sure you have the tools for the party:
A great thing to remember is get the tools for the party ahead of time. What I mean by that is the Charcuterie Acessories. You can go with simple tableware for a simple family party but for a party that's going to serve a lot of people... the traditional charcuterie board accessories are used. Sadly, I've always found it hard to find charcuterie supplies in the stores where I live. So if it's that way where your from; I've put a link here so my readers can see what styles are being used these days (🛒/ https://amzn.to/3OdVkD1)
Normally charcuterie accessories are short and stout with a big thump grip for easier holding. See photo 🠝 above. Every party needs cheese knives, meat forks, butter spreaders, mini tongs, slicers and mini sized spatulas for lifting. We can't forget about the small decorative bowls and bamboo picks if you find you need those too. What about honey dippers? Are you serving honey? You can get those in a mini version perfect to put in serving bowls. Oh oh... and cheese markers. Many party hosts choose to mark the name of each cheese that's on the table for the guests. So, everything you do depends on how much time your willing to put into the serving table. The link I suggested will show you some of all these too.
Matching accessories for Special Parties
Matching accessories just makes the table look so put together. It adds so much charm to the table and it just shines like all the sparkling decorations. It truly doesn't take much to pull off an impressive table that everyone will remember.
