Begin with the cheeses. Leave soft cheeses whole but cut out a small piece. Hard cheeses should be partially sliced. Arrange the cheeses on the board with space between them.
Next, add some small jars or bowls of nuts, jams, and sauces with little spoons.
Fill in some of the open spots with the meats.
Now concentrate on filling any remaining spots with vegetables, berries, and crackers.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
