07 - Present immediately with chilled zero-proof sparkling drinks for guests to pour and savor.

# Top Suggestions:

01 -

Everyone at your table gets to celebrate with something delicious and special, no matter their preferences
The whole spread comes together in under an hour, leaving you time to actually enjoy your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen
It's stunning enough to impress without requiring any real cooking skills, just thoughtful arrangement

02 -

Temperature is non-negotiable—everything needs to be genuinely cold. Warm cheese spreads and room-temperature sparkling drinks will disappoint, and your guests deserve better than that.
Prep as much as you can earlier in the day, but assemble the board no more than 30 minutes before guests arrive. Toasted bread starts losing its crunch, and the arrangement matters more when it's fresh.
Don't be afraid to let some items sit in bowls on the board instead of spreading everything flat. Small bowls add height, visual interest, and actually help foods stay fresher.
