Party Panache, Themed Charcuterie Boards
My daughter and I have had a lot of fun
with charcuterie boards lately
For her birthday party in October we served charcuterie
in a big “C” tray {her last name begins with C} and
I gave her this book, The Art of the Board
She loves the book and decided to have a charcuterie party
for her December supper club
She asked each couple to each bring a themed charcuterie board
and the winner would get a prize!
DD used a big square tray that she used for
CC’s birthday party Ice Cream Sundae Bar
and then added smaller dishes to fill with different foods
She went with a taco theme for her board and filled her tray with tacos,
cheese dip, crackers, guacamole and holiday tortilla chips
There was a smoked sausage board,
with sausage, pickles, a variety of cheeses, jelly, and fresh berries
How about this fun and creative board,
mini hot dogs on a dog bone board!
Another guest brought a Mexican dip board
Individual cups of a dip
made with salsa, tomatoes, sour cream, beans and cheese,
with scoops for dipping
A cute sombrero decorated the center
There was a Christmas tree dessert board
with white chocolate pretzels, mini cakes and chocolate balls
And now for the winning board!
{I’m sure it was hard to pick a winner
out of all these creative and beautiful boards!}
It featured grilled salmon, lemon slices,
hummus and pita triangles, salami, prosciutto,
crackers, olives, cucumbers, sliced radishes and a variety of cheeses
Wow!
DD and I decided it would be fun to expand on the idea
of her C letter board
for our family Christmas Eve lunch
and we ordered J O Y trays here
Since our guests were14 adults and 11 children, ages 7-16,
I kept the charcuterie selections to simple foods
that all ages would enjoy
Pepperoni slices, crackers, cucumbers, salami wrapped cheese sticks,
cherry tomatoes, cheese slices
Easy, family friendly, festive…
Endless possibilities!

What a fun theme for DD’s supper club Jenna! I love The Art of the Board, so many fun ideas for easy entertaining. I love your letter themed boards. ♥
Thanks Mary, the girls came up with some great ideas!
These boards all look great! I like the letters: They’re a lot of fun! We usually have a charcuterie every Friday Night. We call it Cheese Plate Friday Night, and we usually watch baseball (during baseball season) or a movie.
Thank you, I was so impressed by the creative trays everyone came up with. Yes, I knew about your Friday night tradition, I love that idea!

Thank you Barbara, the boards make simple things look very special with their wow presentations!
What a fun party idea that your daughter had, Jenna. I bought charcuterie books for my my daughter and two daughter-in-law for Christmas. Your JOY charcuterie was a fun idea for Christmas. Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks Kitty, yes charcuterie seems to be all the rage, and it’s so much fun to put the boards together!
What a great party idea! All the trays look fabulous and I’m sure it was very hard to choose. Love the “joy” trays and the Christmas tacos are so much fun. I popped over to Amazon to see the book and it looks fabulous too. Thanks for all your inspiration!
Yes, it’s a great book, I gave it to another friend and she loved it too, it’s full of inspiration. The thing I love about charcuterie boards is that they make a wow presentation even with simple food!
Charcuterie boards must have been created for the creative foodies who love to design, including you!
They are fun to put together and make simple food look wow!
