Many families may come with baskets, which can make smaller quantities of eggs look sparse. If you've promoted about twice as much as the year before, you may want to hide twice as many eggs. You should also take into account advertising and promotion. It's better to be prepared with extra than to have children disappointed by a scant egg hunt.
Open egg hunts can have a large range of participants.
But even at a closed hunt, families may bring friends, neighbors, or guests. This is less of an issue if you're having a closed Easter egg hunt for a specific group, like families in your company or church.
