Graduation Star

This is a classic charcuterie board that everyone loves. To make it graduation-themed, use cookie cutters to cut out stars in cheese and letter cutters to press out any word you like. You can do universal ā€œCONGRATSā€ or personalize it with the name of a school, for example.

Fresh Out of School Board

This is probably the healthiest ā€œcharcuterieā€ board you can have, loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables. I love how intentional it is, as even little dip ā€œbowlsā€ are sustainable – they are actually lemon peels. Buy some grad-themed toothpick in your local Dollar Store or via Amazon, and call it a day!

Grad Party Elegance

This is such a simple yet fancy charcuterie board. I love when people use non-traditional boards like this, as everything looks super smooth. Wafer rolls with a bow look like tiny diplomas, so they are definitely a nice touch for the occasion!

Congrats & Cheese Board

The board is huge, ideal to prepare for a big party! It is super easy to alter the charcuterie board to a graduation theme; you just need number-shaped bowls or molds. This board was made for New Year’s Eve, but 2024 can stand for generation, as well.

Futureā€™s Feast Board

This is one more board originally made for New Yearā€™s Eve, but it is perfect for a grad party. You donā€™t need any supplies for this one, as you can make the number out of cheese and salami, too. P.S. It is top-notch to prepare last minute!

Grads, Caps, and Diplomas 

One thing is clear – you canā€™t miss the point of this board! Write a massive GRAD with cheese cubes, salami, and prosciutto – simple yet powerful. Make grad caps from Reese’s cups and chocolate, and tie some wafer rolls in a bow so your board looks like Pinterest inspo!

Graduate Grub

If you donā€™t want any stress before a big day, you can order an already arranged board. Or, use it as an inspo to make it yourself. I assume this is a gingerbread cookie with icing in the middle, giving it a final touch!

Diploma Delights

If you love baking and crafting – here is the best dessert board for you to make. Every sweet treat on this board is grad-themed, from little Ferrero Rocher caps over wafer diplomas to chocolate-dipped strawberries with star sprinkles. P.S. Look at these little chocolate ā€œbooksā€ – you can print labels and fasten them to regular candy bars!

Caps and Chocolates

To be honest, this is my dream board. Tons of chocolate on a huge platter is my idea of a celebration, plus these mini-wrapped candies are such a great idea for huge parties. Donā€™t forget to make grad caps with Reeseā€™s cups, Ghiradelli squares, and M&Ms.

Candy Grads

You can see that diplomas, caps, and massive numbers in the middle found their place on many different boards. But I wanted to know where these letters are from, and I have an answer for you – Trader Joeā€™s! Of course, you can make them at home, too, from sugar cookie dough.

Taste of Triumph

I feel like this charcuterie board is perfect for a picnic or outdoor celebration, as it is packed in an easily transferable cardboard tray. I love the selection of goods here – a few types of meat and cheese, dried figs, and chocolate-covered nuts. YUM!

Gradsā€™ Flower Crowns

This is hands down the prettiest board on this list, as edible flowers make everything better! You know that professional set it up when you see the perfect salami roses and a fancy, glossy sign on top.

Caps, Gowns, and Mascots Board

The attention to detail on this board left me speechless! I love everything here, but especially sugar cookies in the shape of a school mascot and a gown – such special and intentional details to have. Also, do you see how the camembert cheese is carved?!

Summa Cum Charcuterie

This is one elegant and classic charcuterie board with grapes, salami, olives, crackers, and cheese. It is a superb idea to make a sign yourself and just incorporate it into the board. You can paint anything you want on a mini canvas and have a unique decoration!

Capstone Cravings

Chocolate-covered strawberries are one of the simplest desserts to decorate, as it doesnā€™t require any particular skill. Melted chocolate is easy to write with, so you can get this fantastic personalized board.

The Last Great Generation Board

This ā€œboardā€ is a real attention catcher! You can get those cardboard molds in Hobby Lobby or Amazon and just fill them with everything you love to graze on. If youā€™re having a bigger party, just add a full year of your generation, and thatā€™s it!

Mini Celebration Board

Even though youā€™re having a smaller party, you can still make everything about you! Cut out numbers in cheese and carve Camembert in the shape of a star. I love the idea of filling it with salted nuts instead of standard jam.

Class Act Charcuterie

Look at these perfectly assembled salami roses – I love them! Berries pair so well with cheeses, but these blueish shades make the other color pop, making it more visually appealing. Plus, flat-lay cut-outs of the cap and diploma make everything look sleek.

Honor Roll Board

This board is a great example that sometimes less is more! Because there are no other decorations, the spotlight is on the perfectly carved Camembert in the middle. The message is clear but subtle, right?

Cheddar to the Future

For a board like this, you need a block of cheese to carve oversized letters. It is not practical to write a full word, but instead, choose an abbreviation of your school or college, for example. Pro Tip: Place the letters near something white so they can pop!

Deanā€™s List Delicacies

I like these oval wooden boards! This is one more example of how you can personalize any charcuterie with a few pieces of paper or cardboard. You can turn the decorating into a fun little project!

Cap and Cracker Celebration

If youā€™re a fan of an earthy color palette – this board is fabulous for you! The assortment of cheese is faultless, aka the heaven for cheese lovers! Plus, you rarely see this many cracker options as here, so it is 10/10 from me!

Graduation Blues

To finish this list in style – here is one cookie and candy board in shades of blue. If you love baking, decorate sugar cookies with royal icing alone. You even have some stencils to buy online to make this process a piece of cake.
