Holiday BYOB "Bring Your Own Board" Party!

“I try to greet my friends with a drink in my hand, a warm smile on my face, and great music in the background, because that’s what gets a dinner party off to a fun start.”
— Ina Garten

The days of stressing over an overwhelming holiday food spread are OVER. There is a festive trend taking over tiktok called a BYOB “Bring Your Own Board” party and we are obsessed!

We hosted a BYOB, bring your own board, party in Birmingham, AL.

We love how this fresh take on holiday hosting takes the pressure off of the hostess to prepare a full feast solo. You invite your loved ones to get a little creative and bring something special to the table. The only rule - the dish must fit on a board. Any board of your choice!

For our holiday party, we hosted a Friendsgiving gathering and used Canva to quickly whip together these precious invites!

With ENDLESS culinary opportunities, you could go “classic” with a inviting charcuterie board, or get a little spicy with something more unconventional.

Our guests WOWED us with what they came up with. Among this little feast, we had timeless options like homemade focaccia pretzels paired with beer cheese and cranberry and brie puff pastries. We also devoured a few wildcard delicacies like a taco (carnitas) board and chicken and waffles board - delish!

We think this idea would be perfect for ANY party you have this holiday season! We love the idea of celebrating Christmas with a beautiful array of charcuterie boards - you could get really festive with a christmas cookie table where you invite guests to each bring a platter of their favorite cookies! Or host a New Years Eve bash with a spread of boards that guests could graze on as they countdown to the new year. However you choose to celebrate, this BYOB will be the perfect backdrop for every occasion.
