Put Together a Jungle-Themed Food Table

This tropical jungle party is all about a beautifully-styled charcuterie table. What looks like a bunch of little snacks can actually be quite filling for your guests. The trick is to get the right balance of rich, sweet, savory, light, crunchy and smooth. Learn how to make this eye-catching banner here.

Create a Rainforest Setting

A deeply saturated teal tablecloth makes the table look like the ground of the rainforest. Lay down flat palm leaves to really make the jungle look come alive.

Serve Yummy Party Food

We recommend starting with three kinds of meat, like pepperoni, salami and soppressatta. Then layer in your cheeses, like cheddar and muenster.

Offer Healthy Snacks

Add in the crunch with almonds, walnuts and crackers. For this tropical theme, a big bowl of plantain chips is a good option. Bring on the sweet: dried apricots, raspberries, blackberries and juicy grapes.

Buy Green, Leafy Plants

Purchase a nice mix of large, dramatic plants at your local nursery. Two tall palms, small maidenhair ferns and leafy household plants in terracotta pots are perfect choices.
