Mixing in fresh seasonal fruits with a variety of cheeses ranging from bloomy to year old aged as well as honey, nuts, jams, preserves, a mix of charcuterie including spiced and smokey options along side unsmoked and unspiced kinds. Essentially you're looking for a decent variety at every level that allows participants to make endless combinations and find their favorite one. I make a lot of cheese boards and cheese based things for friends and family and I always get big compliments and this is by basic rubric. The key with the rubric is to always find the best version of this stuff that you can afford. I find that great cheese boards for a party can be done between $50-$100 dollars. I always pair with crusty baguettes but lately I've been adding in nut thins because a friend of mine is a celiac. Pic related is one I made last year. I bought everything at a Nugget Market.

Not bad. Next time try more seasonal pairings and less melons. I don't think melon pairs particularly well with cheese
