I am very worried about my upcoming bbq wedding reception. I am so scared it will be boring. The party is from 12-4pm, people can come and go as they please. I plan for us all to eat and hang out, play volleyball if the weather is nice (pray for good weather!) I am not having any dances, any vow re-newing, ect. I plan for it to be a laid back event. I didn't even plan to decorate! (mostly because I have no $ and no idea what to do) We had a wedding in Vegas a few weeks ago. We have favors for the party which are Vegas themed and the wedding cake will be Vegas themed. The only bbq feel is the food... Please give me any sort of ideas so I can stop panicking about this day.
Thanks!
Anniversary

It sounds like what you are doing is just having your friends and family come to celebrate your wedding in a casual environment and there is nothing wrong with that! Maybe a little background music so people can dance if they want to and you and your husband could make a nice toast when you have a larger crowd? Or right before you cut the cake? Also if you have any pictures of your wedding frame them and put them out so people can see what your ceremony/dress/etc was like? It will all be beautiful I am sure, and you can't control the weather so don't worry about it :)

Hey, this sounds like my wedding reception!  It was just lots of family and kids, outside, under a tent. It was fun!  Don't worry that it will be boring.... I am sure everyone will be happy to be together. 
Enjoy!

I think it  sounds great! If it's so informal and intimate, everyone will mingle and entertain themselves just fine.
As for decor, maybe pick up some simple supermarket bouquets for like $7.each, and place framed photos of the two of you (I'm sure you have some!) around the area with some candles for ambience to set it apart from any other bbq. 
Add some music and it'll be totally perfect and still totally you too :)
