Describe10:30 AM–11 AM is the sweet spot for most Easter brunches — late enough that families attending morning church services can make it comfortably, early enough that you're done by early afternoon and kids still have energy for the egg hunt. If your family doesn't attend church, a 10 AM start gives you the full morning before afternoon naps.
Divide the hunt by age group with separate zones — toddlers get the easiest hiding spots near ground level, older kids get more challenging locations, and teens or adults can do a clue-based hunt. Set a per-child egg count limit (e.g., 12 eggs each) so no one sweeps the yard and younger kids are left with nothing. Do the hunt before brunch while energy is high.
After church is the more traditional approach and works well logistically — services typically end by 10–10:30 AM, making an 11 AM brunch start very natural. If you're hosting guests who attend different services on different schedules, design a flexible arrival window (10:30–11:30 AM) with food out continuously rather than a fixed sit-down time.
Plan for 2.5–3.5 hours total. The egg hunt, brunch, and family time fill naturally without needing a rigid program. Most families with young children are ready to wrap up by early afternoon for naps and the inevitable sugar crash that follows Easter candy. Leave the end time open rather than announcing a hard cutoff.
