Want to create an attractive plate and fill bellies? Get inspired with these creative and Easy Snack Boards for kids, adults, parties, and holidays. These Charcuterie Board Ideas include cured meats, tasty cheeses, fresh fruits, crackers, candies and more! Get ready to dive in and enjoy!

Snack Boards Ideas

When the kids were in school, it was so easy to fill their lunch account and trust they were getting fed (enough). Now that we are in an endless year of virtual school, I have to work all the harder on getting their bellies full. Those bottomless pits!

What is a snack board?

A snack board is a less fancy way to describe a Charcuterie (pronounced “shahr-ku-tuh-ree”) board. It is the art of preparing and assembling cheeses and cured meats. With a snack board you can get creative and are not limited to cheeses and meats. Create snack boards for adults, kids, holidays or even small parties and gatherings.

Snack boards are a budget-friendly way to feed one person or a crowd. Get creative with pantry items or store bought foods to display on platter or board. It’s a very attractive way to style food. Use fresh and dried fruit, cheese crackers, hard and soft cheese, prepared meat, and then get creative with other fixings like candy, popcorn, cookies and more!

What do I need to make a snack board?

Snack boards are beautiful but can be intimidating to the eye. They almost look too pretty to eat and where do you get started. Many of these snack board ideas come with a list of exactly what you need to buy to make a board. You might be asking yourself how to make a snack board.

First, plan your menu. Make sure you have a list of salty, sweet, fresh, and cheese (just a few ideas.) Have glass bowls for smaller items (like popcorn, fruits or nuts) as well as dips. Use a small bowl as larger bowls can be overwhelming unless you only have one.

In addition to bowls, you will need a board. There are many types of boards. Rectangular, circle, square – all shapes and sizes. I really love wooden charcuterie boards – it is always nice when the board has a raised edging keep food from falling off the edge. A wooden cutting board is fine, but since you are using it for display, I would make sure it is in decent shape.

If you want continuous inspiration for how to make snack boards, take a look at these 50 Amazing Snack Boards for Any Occasion.

Types of Snack Boards

Inspiring Edible Table Runners

These inspiring lush edible table runners will create a memorable event talked about forever. Turn you into an amazing hostess with tablescape centered with a greenery table runner surrounded by a bite-sized appetizing menu including fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, cheeses, desserts and more.

Edible Table Runners

I am not the best hostess. In fact a few years ago I created a post Holiday Hosting Tips for you all, but it was truly more for me! I treat hostesses well but I never hold an event well. I think the stress of prepping gives me more anxiety than he reason for the occasion.

Since we have not family this Thanksgiving, I started looking (far in advance) for Friendsgiving Thanskgiving Ideas. This edible table runner hosting idea was a favorite for me. I saw it as lowing my anxiety because everything was immediately displayed for my guests. There was no pulling items in and out of the oven. The pressure of a menu and tablescape overlapped, becoming one. It also was different and stood out, bringing everyone to the table for fellowship.

What is an Edible Table Runner?

There is probably not much we need to describe, as it pretty much describes itself. An edible table runner is a centerpiece full of small bites eat. The centerpiece runs down the length of the table, no food is typically passed. An edible runner should look lush and appetizing, and typically is made of fruits, vegetables, breads, meats, cheeses and desserts. An edible table runner can fit the season – winter, spring, summer and fall or it can fit the holiday and occasion – Thanksgiving, Easter, brunch and whatever!

To decorate, start with your base. It’s good to lay down a corresponding table cloth (stick with a neutral table cloth like a waterproof tan linen so the colors of your foods pop). Then lay down a runner. We are a big fan greenery table runners. After your tablecloth and runner, move your way to larger edible pieces. This includes loafs of bread or large fruits like pumpkins or cantaloupe. Next work your way down to the medium edible bites and then smaller edible items.

Greenery Table Runners

Choosing greenery as your table runner or centerpieces is a great decor option that can be dressed up or dressed down. It looks amazing with bright fruits and veggies. Use year-round in all seasons. Is it the dead of winter? Will the heat wilt your leaves in summer? Don’t fret. Amazon has plenty of greenery table runners to add a pop of color to your edible table runner.

We love these Faux Greenery Table Runners:

We find the vegetable sliced chips to be most attractive. (Recall above you can finish your plank with a food-safe Butcher Block Conditioner.) | To Have to Host

Hot and juicy crawfish, shrimp broils, lobsters and clam bakes make the easiest table runner. Toss down newspaper and pour your edibles straight to the table once baked. | House of Harper

For fall, have the harvest spread. Apples, pumpkins, squash, apricots and more. | Run Away Apricot

Fruits that are darker and richer in tone and make an excellent runner for July 4th or Memorial Day weekend. Insert a few flags to fit your theme. We like this blue and white Gingham checked tablecloth for your background. | Photography by Meghan McNeer Styled by Kate Berry for Domino

Death by chocolate. Fill a table full of chocolate – dark, milk, white and more. We also recommend mini cupcakes, brownies, cookies, chocolate-covered pretzels and more. | Pizzazzerie

Winter ONEderland First Birthday Party Ideas

Winter ONEderland First Birthday Party Ideas – A Winter Wonderland party in hues of silver, white, pink and blue is perfect for a child with a winter birthday.

Winter ONEderland First Birthday Party Ideas

What is a Winter ONEderland Party?

A winter ONEderland party is a first birthday party with a winter-scape theme. It can incorporate a lumberjack theme for boys or a Nutcracker theme for girls. Or stray from the the theme and crate your own snow filled home full of magic and delight.

Winter Wonderland Party Food

Stick with a color pallet and work on the food from there. We suggest silver, white and either blue or pink. I lean closer to the girls first birthday parties are pink, blue are blue – but have at it – whatever color you choose.

When picking the theme, it’s important to have food that matches the colors. Sugar cookies with food coloring mixed with royal frosting can go with every color pallet. Every party goer will have their inner child come out with Clear Rock Candy Sticks. Snowballs can be made with white powdered sugar donut holes. Additionally, white powdered sugar donuts with shots of milk are a sweet treat.

To counter the sweet, don’t forget to add the salt. Sea salt can be added to many sweet treats and look like crystals. Cheese and popcorn can be a good balance. Carrots can be snowmen noses. Consider telling your invited guests, that this is a dessert party and have them eat lunch or dinner ahead.

Where drinks are concerned, have a place marker labeled “melted snow flakes” for your water table. For another drink option, add a hot cocoa bar. You could also look at our S’mores Recipes for ideas on this winter tablescape. For mix-ins, add bowls of marshmallows, whip cream, cinnamon sticks, and white chocolate spoons.

First Birthday Party Present Ideas

Sensory toys are great for this age group. They are just coming into the age of discovering with their hands and being able to hold and explore and option.

Amazon Bouncer Sale (Kid’s Party)

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

March 9, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Amazon, Birthday, Entertainment, Kids

Amazon has a toy sale going on (more details Here) and I saw that a lot of bouncers were on sale. I wanted to share with you WHY I have a special post soley on bouncers. At a women’s retreat last Spring, Kathy Peel made an amazing point about these bouncers that stuck with me. Sometimes the rental of the bouncer is the same price as the actually bouncher itself. She included a story of one lady buying a bouncer for her kid’s birthday party and then reselling it on ebay stating in the sale “used only once!” In her case, she actually made more money on the resale than she made on the purchase of the bouncer! So if you are having a party for the kids, consider this investment! You MIGHT actually get a FREE or cheap bouncer (after the resell) for your child’s birthday party. All the bouncers are Here
