Place dips and spreads in bowls and place them throughout the board.
Add any large cheeses first, followed by other meats and cheeses, spacing them apart from one another.
Add breads and crackers to the board. (Note: If you need to chill the board before serving, skip adding the breads and crackers and instead add them right before serving. Keep open space for them, though.)
Add fruits, vegetables, and nuts in remaining openings, making sure to spread the colors throughout the board.
Add garnish for a last-minute pop of color in any area that needs some.
Serve immediately OR cover securely and chill before serving
