Notes
- Prepare and slice fruits, vegetables, and cheeses ahead of time to save effort.
- Keep meats refrigerated until just before serving for freshness.
- Use bowls for wet items to prevent soaking the paper surface.
- Avoid placing the same colors together to keep the table visually balanced.
- Check for nut allergies before adding mixed nuts.
- Refill the table gradually instead of overloading it at the beginning.
