Weddingbee boards

Looking for some input. My FI and I live far away from my parents (we see his family regularly) so we are planning a party this summer when my parents are visiting so everyone can get to know eachother. We plan to invite most of FI's extended family, people from our work and school and a few of my extended family who can make the trip out.

We have booked a cute lodge at a local camping park, with a big BBQ pit, grassy space, playground etc. So we are thnking of doing a lawn party type thing.

I want to make this more special than "just a family get together" but I don't want to over-plan and have people feeling like it is an elementary school field day either.

Any ideas on how to add something special/memorable to our party?

All of those pictures are great!! I have been collecting ideas for a smores bar too.I looooove those drink dispensers. I have no idea where to find them in Canada :(

We were thinking of putting out like croquet, bocce ball or some games like that that people can just play if they want to.

I was looking at somehting like this to: Party Bingo Just to get people interacting and there could be a prize at the end or something.

I am excited to have my first real wedding thing to plan! I would love to hear some more ideas!!

OMG I have found dispensers!!  Not sure if you were looking for them but I found some nice ones at Classic Hostess. Glass, cute, not crazy expensive... and not crazy expensive shipping to Canada.

Yay!
