Reception Cookout HELP! Informal ideas??

My fiance and I are having an intimate family wedding and dinner on Friday night. On Saturday, we will be having a Reception Cookout on Saturday afternoon at a local farm.

This is the second wedding for both of us.  The Friday festivities are very intimate and formal.  The cookout is all about having a good time and celebrating. The cookout will not have anything "wedding" related.  Not a typical wedding reception. (Our date is June 2014.)

The venue is a barn.  We will be playing basketball, volleyball, corn hole, horseshoes, etc.  My fiance rented a bouncey house for our kids and 20+ nieces and nephews to enjoy.  We will be having a southern-style buffet meal.

My questions....Should we do a summer themed cookout?  We will be having inside seating with round tables.  I need some overall theme ideas that are fun, and very inexpensive.

I was thinking at first sight of the venue of lace, burlap and daisies.  But, the more I think about it, the more I want bright vibrant colors, maybe "crazy" daisy colors.  

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
Kellie

    You could do denim instead of burlap, or red and white or blue and white checked tablecloths and napkins.  Or bandannas. A bit of lace or tulle tucked into it for femininity.  Think sunflowers, gerbera daisies (really bright colors), carnations, or gladiolus for color.  Mason jars as vases are a little tired but you could still do them, or you can pick up pieces of milk glass or antique jars at flea markets or garage sales.
