When it comes to party food, step one is the menu, but step two is the presentation—and we’re not just talking about setting a pretty table. Once you’ve prepared your dips, chips, sliders, and a crowd-pleasing baked brie, then you have to figure out how to take it from the kitchen to the table. What you need is a serving platter, or rather, multiple platters.

Arrange pretty platters across your buffet to show off your hard work in the kitchen and make every tasty appetizer and snack accessible for guests’ grab-and-go needs. With such an array of platters, party food can be arranged neatly and elegantly so that everyone at the party can easily load one of everything onto their plate and get back to mingling. We’ve curated our favorite serving platters for a gorgeous buffet. Featuring flowers and playful colors, these platters are especially suited to a springtime bash, but can be easily repurposed for year-round use. As good-looking as these platters are, they’ll make your party food look even better.
