- Prep ahead: Chop any vegetables that can be chopped ahead of time. Some of the recipes here can be prepared, or partially prepared in advance which will save you a lot of time.
- Have it all ready: Choose the serving platters and utensils you're going to use and set them aside. Wash and iron the napkins if needed and set the table a day in advance. These might seem like small tasks, but once done a day ahead, you have a lot of free time on the day of the brunch to enjoy with your loved ones.
