Your hero of course is the cheese... try to include a variety of textures and flavors.  Most cheese belongs to one of four groups: aged, soft, firm,

or blue.  For good variety choose at least one from each group.  On your platter, it's a good idea to serve a selection of toast or bread sticks.  

Olives and jarred jams are a wonderful accompaniment to cheese, and go great for dipping.  One last tip: set out a seperate cheese knife

for each cheese and label the cheeses so you won't have to repeat their names all evening !!!
