Play Lawn Games

For an outdoor afternoon wedding, setting up a game of bocce ball is an easy way to add some fun to the reception. You might also consider croquet or even horseshoes, depending on your personal tastes. Set up the game beforehand and add an inviting sign, like in this photo, nearby to encourage your guests to play.
