    Learn More About Trays & Platters

    Whether you’re looking to display a beautiful sushi arrangement or a carefully selected charcuterie board, shops on Etsy have popular handmade trays and serving platters to take your dining and serving to the next level. Bring the wine and a party platter tray for weddings, birthdays, and bachelorette parties to display tasty food pairings.


    Choose from large platter trays to fit a whole buffet of snacks and light fare, or try a tiered serving tray to add an extra level of decoration to your event. Tiered serving trays and platters can be two-tiered, tri-tiered, or higher, and are perfect for displaying an array of desserts such as doughnuts and cupcakes.


    Celebrate the seasons and browse shops for decorative seasonal platters and trays and get festive with spooky Halloween platters and trays and cheerful Christmas platters.

    Wood boards such as bamboo and walnut are among the most popular materials, although glass, ceramic, and plastic trays and platters are alternatives for those looking to match specific decor styles and settings.


    Epoxy trays and platters give a burst of color, which complements the natural hues of the tray’s wood. As many of these trays create an ocean-like effect—as if a wave were rushing gently over the board—they’re ideal for coastal interiors, beachside picnics, and bathroom vanities. If you love a vintage look, browse shops for vintage trays and platters, including intricately decorated ceramics, classic plastic serving trays, and the most famous of all—the silver platter.

    From wood engravings to metal etchings, many shops on Etsy let you add names, dates, and custom text to create a personalized tray. Once you’ve found a shop with a style you like, use the drop-down menu to select available personalization options or use the “add your personalization” box to write a brief message directly to the seller. Sellers have various options, including multiple board sizes, fonts, and materials. Personalized trays and platters make great gifts for weddings, home cooks, housewarmings, and anyone else who appreciates the little details in life.
