Birthday parties, bridal showers, brunches with friends — a pastel-colored snack board is fitting for all kinds of get-togethers, if you ask us. Just not sure where to start in building one yourself? Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as hard as you might think; the first step, according to the experts, is to choose a theme or color palette. (Pastels, check!) Here’s everything else you need, from must-have buys to sweet recipes, to make a stunning snack board worth sharing.
Beautiful Boards
For an eye-catching centerpiece, look no further: Each of these boards is a "collage" of acacia wood, so no two are alike. We love the extra-long length, which will allow you to create a crowd-pleasing spread.
White marble is stunning set atop any color table or countertop, and it’s the perfect material for cheese and fruit because it’s naturally cool to the touch.
Must-Have Accessories
Add height to your charcuterie board with these souffle bowls — and easily keep snacks organized. (You know no one wants M&M’s rolling all over the place!) This set of bowls is great because the hues complement each other so well; you can pair different shades every time you host.

Your guests will be so impressed to know you made these eclairs yourself. The colorful glazes are tinted naturally with a variety of fruit juices and will help make any spread shine.
Molly Yeh's variation on the classic Black and White Cookie would be the perfect addition to a pastel snack board. Freeze-dried strawberries add color and flavor to the pink glaze, and we all know chocolate and strawberries are a match made in heaven!

While we're on the subject of chocolate and strawberries, this pink snack mix is a sweet treat you can whip up in just 25 minutes. Heart-shaped sprinkles, like the ones seen in this photo, may be a festive touch for a Valentine's Day party or bridal shower, but you can use any pastel-colored sprinkles to fit your theme.
Store-Bought Snacks and Filler Candies
If you're just not ready to take on making homemade macarons, no judgment. This box of store-bought cookies comes with six incredible flavors. We'd say they're almost too pretty to eat, but you'll definitely want to eat them!
Traditional Oreos might not go so well with the rest of your pastel board, but these vanilla sandwich cookies will look great with pink, blue, green and more.
