Serving board (can use a round tray for wreath shape, a [cheese board], cutting board, serving platter, or cookie sheet)
[Cheese knives]

Cheese aim for a variety of textures, flavors, shapes, and colors
Crunchy crackers, baguette slices, nuts, etc.
Salty meats, nuts, olives, pickles, etc.
Sweet candied cranberries, fruit, cookies, chocolate-covered nuts or fruit, etc.
Fruits and Veggies kiwi, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, snap peas, etc.
Condiments honey, jam, cranberry sauce, grainy mustard, etc.
Garnishes fresh rosemary, or other fresh herbs

Set down your cheeses. They are the focal point of your board. We used a wheel of brie in the center to help give that wreath look.
Place your meats and salty items (minus crackers) around your cheese.
Arrange sweet foods, fresh fruits, and veggies around your meats and cheeses.
Add crackers and baguette slices evenly around the board or in small bowls on the side if you're running out of room.
Tuck in small bowls or jars of you condiments of choice.
Garnish with fresh herbs (we love rosemary for that festive Christmas-y feel!) and fill any remaining spaces with clusters of grapes.

If serving as an appetizer, we recommend starting with one 4 to 6 ounce wedge/piece of cheese or meat per 3 people. For a main dish, start with the same amount of cheese or meat per 2 people.
