Looking for a cost-effective way to host a party? These Costco party platters are the perfect solution! Choose from a croissant sandwich platter, chicken and swiss rollers, shrimp platter, and/or a meat & cheese platter.
The response to our How to Order a Cake from Costco post has been so awesome and obviously, it was helpful to so many people that I was inspired tonight on our trip to Costco to share another how-to with you! This one is how to order a party platter from Costco.
These platters are great for wedding or baby showers or even when you are hosting a crowd for the big game! I’m tempted to order one just to snack on during the week when we don’t have time to cook!
If you are here planning for Thanksgiving, you may find this post on Costco Thanksgiving Dinner helpful. 🙂

UPDATE 03/25/21: I spotted these nutritional facts sheets. Although they do not seem to include all of the party platter information, I thought some people might find them useful. Below are the pictures but you can also view the Costco Nutritional Information in a PDF here.
Irma Martinez says
How much time in advance shall I order 3 party platters
And a cake?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Irma, Ours normally requires a 24-hour notice but I would call your specific store just to double check. 🙂
Sandra Gierke says
Feeding 30 for UNLV graduation
How soon should I order 4 platters, cake,?
Do you do a large pasta salad, a large fruit salad and a large potato salad?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Sandra, We are not associated with Costco so you will have to contact your local store. My local store does have pasta salad, fruit salad, and potato salad but I am in Georgia. Check with your local Costco to make sure they carry what you need and the size that you need. Good luck.
Gerald Abrahamson says
I like the roll ups as well, but I don’t consume them fast enough to justify buying a 12-pack. The question I have is simple: Does Costco make these or do they have them frozen and stored (for defrosting and display on an “as needed” basis)? If they are stored frozen, then it makes sense to buy them frozen and then defrost a couple as desired (rather than an entire package). Any ideas/recommendations?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Gerald, Sorry for the late reply. Did you get an answer from Costco? I really have no idea but I assume they make them fresh in the store.
Malina says
Everything in the deli, bakery, and food court are made fresh daily.
mysubwaycard says
thanks for info, you need give more detail price information at costco
Whitney Carlson says
You are welcome. I have posted all the information that I have access to.
Carol says
Hi, do you have veggie and fruit platters available for pre-order? If so, are there various sizes? Prices?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Carol! We are not Costco but I know that at my local store they only have the ones that are already pre-made. They always have them though and they are great prices! These are the prices and sizes at my Costco: Vegetable Platter (4 lbs): $9.99 & Fresh Cut Fruit Bowl (3 lbs): $9.99.

Janet Caine says
Can you get Caesar salads in large bowls for serving at a wedding? We are also interested in ordering large pans of lasagna. Can we order those online? We need to feed 50 ppl. Please let me know. Thanks, Janaet
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Janet. We are not associated with Costco – only providing the information so that you can call or order from them. You will have to check with your local Costco but as far as I know, no online ordering is available for the lasagna or salads. Good luck!
Arianna says
How much would it be from mixture of the wrap and sandwich platters that would feed 200
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Arianna. You will have to contact your local Costco. We are not associated with them, we are just providing the general information. Thanks. 🙂
Anya Vasquez says
Why do so many people think you are Costco? Thanks for this article, I found it helpful and will go to actual Costco to place my order. 😉
Whitney Carlson says
Haha! I ask myself that daily! 🙂 Thanks, Anya.
Kim says
Because they don’t read. They skim.
Lisa H. says
Thank you so much for the suggestion of faxing in an order! I need to pick up a sandwich tray on my way to a party but that Costco is at least an hour away. Now I don’t have to drive there the day before just to order. TIP: Costco’s phone system is a nightmare, I finally pressed the option for Administrative staff and just let it ring until they picked up. Once answered the rep was really friendly and is faxing me a form to complete and fax back!
Whitney Carlson says
Awesome! That is so good to hear. I’m glad it saved you time and gas! Thanks for the tip on the phone system too, Lisa.
Shari Harding says
I would like the apron to be here by Wednesday if possible.
Thanks!
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Shari, I think you left this comment on the wrong post. This post is about Costco. 🙂
Tabitha says
Do you know if all the sandwich/ wrap/ meat & cheese platters are luncheon meats or if they have actual slices (of chicken breast, for example)? Do you think they’re crowd pleasers and kid-friendly? I’m considering ordering for my daughter’s first birthday party with lots of kiddos!
Whitney Carlson says
I do think they are crowd pleasers AND kid-friendly but I’m not sure about the meat question. I would call your local Costco to double check! Next time I’m there I’m going to get more information on the platters.
Lori says
Thank you so much for this post! I was wondering why i never saw huge party platters out front. I didnt know that you can order them from their deli. I thought ordering was only for cakes and the deli trays came as is. This is perfect post for clueless moms like me. I called my local costco and the deli took my order via phone. Now all i need is show up on the day of my party and pick up my platters! Thank you!
Whitney Carlson says
YAY! That’s great news. 🙂 Glad it was helpful!
Emma says
I’m ordering at least 3 trays. Over $90.00 do you deliver like other Costco orders?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Emma, We aren’t associated with Costco. I only posted this because I was having a hard time finding the information needed to order platters from Costco. I would call your local store to make sure they deliver. Good luck!
Elana says
I am sitting here reading some of these replies with my jaw on the floor. LOL
Thank you for the informative article. And can you let me know how many calories are in the wraps? Kidding…you are NOT COSTCO.
Whitney Carlson says
hahahahahhaha yes! Thanks for the laugh! And you probably don’t want to know the calorie count on these things! 😉
Rj says
Lmao. Yes I’m dying over here. What on earth are people thinking?
Mary Moua says
Hello, do you know if a Costco membership is required to place an order for a party platter? I couldn’t find the information anywhere and their phones are a nightmare. Thanks in advance!
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Mary! I do believe you have to have a membership to place an order or pick up a party platter. We think the membership is definitely worth it though! 🙂
Mario Soria says
Very confusing!!! Trying to place an order and it keeps sending me back to “making comments”.
Your webmaster needs to fix this page.
Whitney Carlson says
We are NOT Costco. You will have to call or go into the store to order. This information is only here for informational purposes.
Brianna says
This is the one time where reading the comments on the internet was a true joy. Probably not so much for you, though!
Whitney Carlson says
Hahaha! I never know what I’m going to see when I get an email about a comment on this post! 😉
Connie says
Thank you!!!
Whitney Carlson says
You are welcome Connie! 🙂
Kerry says
Who do you ask for at your local Costco? There’s no extension offered at our local Costco (Bashford Manor location in Louisville, KY.)
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Kerry, I would think maybe the meat department since that is where the platter order forms are located. When you call and speak with someone just tell them what you are looking for and they should be able to direct you to the right person.
Glorious says
Hi Whitney,
Great article! I am trying to find taco salad individual ones for 25 ppl, you know in mini shells. Contacted 2 caterers no luck too much work. Any ideas here in Oakland area,Ca?
Whitney Carlson says
Hello, I have never seen that at my local Costco! I’ve only seen individual chicken salad. Good luck!
Al says
What type of meats are in the sandwich tray? Are any of them vegetetarian or they all have meat cold cuts?
Whitney Carlson says
I am not sure what meats are on the sandwich tray as they never have that one on display in our local store. I’m pretty sure that they are NOT vegetarian though. 🙁
Bev says
Whitney you are so patient. I got such a giggle reading the comments. Thank you for the information. It was very helpful. I love Costco too.
linda says
do you know if you can special order like ordering all evggie swiss rolls?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Linda! Honestly, I am not sure. Contact your local store and see if they will. If you have time come back and let us know what they said!
Paul says
I am interested in ordering a casket and some party trays for a wake, but your website is nearly impossible to navigate. Could you throw in a free shrimp tray?
Whitney Carlson says
We are not Costco.
Harjeet says
Hi Do you have any vegetarian and eggs sandwich platters?
Whitney Carlson says
Hello, I haven’t seen any at my local Costco. You might want to check out their prepared foods like the quinoa bowls – those might work for vegetarians. Good luck.
Crystal Cuevas says
Do they do same day order??.
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Crystal, I’m not 100% sure if they do same day orders but ours usually has Croissant Sandwich Platters and Roasted Chicken & Swiss Rollers in stock. I hope this helps.
stacy says
Thank you for the information!! Reading the comments made my day!! Can’t stop laughing!!
Thank you!!
Whitney Carlson says
Hahaha! Yes, comments on some of these posts can provide hours of entertainment. 😉 I’m glad you found the information helpful, Stacy!
Thea says
I’m pretty sure some of the last “clueless” posters are trolling you. Thank you for the helpful information.
Olivia says
Do you know how long they stay good? I want them for a party not sure when to pick them up though.
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Olivia, I would pick them up a day or two before. The closer to the event the better in my opinion. 🙂
Dawn says
Oh man! I am a teacher looking for end of year class party options and found your DEFINITELY, OBVIOUSLY,MOST ASSUREDLY, NOT THE COSTCO WEBSITE post. You are SO VERY PATIENT with the totally clueless questions clearly intended for the real Costco. I just had to comment since I was blown away. Wow, just wow. Anyway, thanks for the helpful information 🤪
A. W says
Wow! Me too. I can hardly believe how patient you are. Over and over to post. “we are not Costco!”
You are impressive.
Kelly says
Now what I am wondering, and this is how I reached your post via Google… is why doesn’t Costco include deli orders on their website? Why can’t I order and prepay on the website just like placing a photo order to pick up at local store? I know you are NOT COSTCO (and I laughed at the comments)but I’m just throwing the question out there…
P.S. I think the person who wanted the apron done by a certain date fits right in with the other commenters. Who are we to say she is on the wrong website! And the person who said “you need to fix your website” was hilarious.
Kelly says
disregard previous comment. I finally found the online order form
Ijust Cant says
Hello. I would like to place an order for 650 shrimp platters please. I understand that you may not be Costco, but if you could go ahead and either turn your website into a Costco or place the order for me that would be great. I am too lazy to read the actual content or contact Costco myself. Also, please have it delivered tomorrow and include lots of plates and napkins. And one of those robotic vacuum cleaners as well. I wasn’t planning to get one of those but that’s what would likely happen if I went into an actual store, so might as well.
Whitney Carlson says
Oh my gosh. I needed this laugh. Seriously. Thanks for making me smile. 🙂
A w says
Laughing laughing laughing.
Lynn says
Your information is very helpful! We’re working on a very small Covid wedding in October and the Chicken Swiss rollers sound perfect (we’ll put them in single serving boxes so no one is touching them). And no separate condiments necessary!
I also enjoyed reading all the comments!!
Whitney Carlson says
I’m glad you found the information helpful. There are quite a few posts where our comment section is very long and entertaining. Sometimes I have to take a deep breath before responding. 🙂 Good luck with wedding planning.
Amanda says
Hi there not Costco, Do you know where in Costco you go to pick up your platter order?
Thank you,
Needed the laugh from reading the comments
Hunter K says
I was also wandering where you pick up. I know the cakes you grab from the fridge by the bakery but don’t think that’s where you pick up the platters.
Whitney Carlson says
That’s a great question and I’m honestly not sure. However, I think maybe pick-up would be near the deli/meat/rotisserie chicken area. At least that is where the already made platters are displayed in my store. I will ask next time I’m there and update here!
Krissi says
I plan to order trays for a graduation party at my local Costco…unless of course you want to take my order…Law!!! Your info is the most informative, even over Costco’s website. I bet you’re a little sorry you posted this though! Haha!
Michelle says
Hello Whitney, I couldn’t click away without commenting. Prayer usually sets the tone for my day; however, this post “took the cake” or should I say the platter… Wow! Bust-out-laughing laughter. Thank you people! The “casket and order for some party trays for a wake” comment definitely a winner! Praying for you Whitney because you’re a Saint!
Shawna says
Thanks for the info, it’s exactly what I was looking for……and then I just had to take a break from work to read all of the comments. lol
