Feed a Crowd with Party Platters
Party platters are easy to make and come in a variety of combinations. Cheese, veggies, fruit, and even nuggets are all for discussion when brainstorming ideas for party trays.
Veggie Tray Suggestions
A veggie tray may be ubiquitous to the party array, but it enjoys that position for a reason. The veggie tray is a classic and essential inclusion for your party, but you can make it interesting with a few key suggestions. Choose in-season veggies in various colors and textures, and consider including raw and cooked veggies in the mix. You can also save some cash by making the tray, cutting the veggies, and designing a party tray. Or, allow the team at Redner’s Markets to provide a stunning and tasty veggie party tray from the produce department here.
When estimating the size of your veggie tray, plan to provide five dipping veggies per guest and three tablespoons of dip per guest. Remember to provide a spoon for the dip and plates for your guests’ use. What’s worse than double-dipping into the veggie dip?
Cheese Tray Suggestions
Redner’s Markets also offers cheese trays and cheese tray combinations. You can choose any five of the following cheese options:
- American
- Cheddar
- Colby
- Cooper Sharp
- Hot Pepper
- Longhorn
- Muenster
- Swiss.
Tray options include adding fruit or meat in various combinations.
We also offer many delicious cheeses if you prefer to put them together yourself. When designing the tray, include a combination of mild and strong flavors, soft and hard textures, crackers, and nuts.
For every dozen guests, include a couple of pounds of cheese, a package of crackers, and a container of jam, butter, or other spread.
Fruit Tray Suggestions
A party without a fruit tray is as incomplete as one without music. Color, sweet, and juicy flavors should be abundant. As with a veggie tray, maximize variety and opt for fruits that are in season. At Redner’s Markets, you’ll find an assortment of fresh and locally sourced fruits and vegetables.
If you decide to make your own fruit tray, remember to include a dip and save yourself time by prepping the fruit a day ahead of your celebration. Seven cups of fruit and 1 ½ cups of dip are appropriate for every twelve guests.
Sandwich Tray Suggestions
Hoagies, subs, brioche rolls, and wraps are all stellar options for sandwich party trays, and Redner’s offers them all!
We also have all of the ingredients you’ll need to make your own party sandwich platters. One option is to spread out a selection of meats, cheeses, condiments, and trimmings for a sammie bar!
