Lay out the board and any small bowls or outer decorations. If creating any cheese greetings using mini alphabet cookie cutters, cut those out now and set them aside. Or, go ahead and place them on the board where you would like them.
Start by filling the bowls with jams, jellies, dips, nuts, and any small round fruits. Place the bowls in various places on the boards.
Next, start filling in the board with crackers, meats, and cheeses.
Then fill in with fruits and vegetables.
Finally, fill in the spots with some candies and nuts.
Add any decorations and feel free to move items around to make your board look the best it can be! Set out to serve immediately.
