Summer is the perfect season for gathering the clan for a Backyard BBQ Family Reunion!<\/strong> But planning for a guest list of 40 or so, can be quite a challenge\u2014especially if you\u2019re on a budget. So we\u2019ve rounded up some affordable and doable BBQ bash ideas for food, drinks, desserts, favors and even attire. Plus we\u2019ve tossed in a movie theme that\u2019s great as an outdoor activity for all ages to enjoy. Let the family fun begin!<\/p>\n

Backyard BBQ + Movie Theme: Family Reunion Ideas<\/h2>\n

Keep the focus on family togetherness and full tummies with these inspiring ideas from real events, recipe sites, and a couple of our fave affiliates!<\/p>\n

\"How
\nA barbecue gathering couldn\u2019t be more ideal for a family reunion. It allows everyone to enjoy the outdoors, chat over a grilled meal served picnic style, and share a relaxing activity\u2014like watching a well-loved family film!<\/p>\n

Get everyone excited for the clan event with a BBQ cookout family reunion invitation<\/strong> (1). Notice how the red gingham motif on the invite will be carried through to other elements of the party\u2014from the playful picnic-inspired cake<\/strong> (4), to the ever-popular s\u2019mores station<\/strong> (3), to the fabric wraps for the trail mix favors<\/strong> (10).<\/p>\n

Then, of course, there\u2019s the food! Have family members share grill duty to serve up BBQ staples like steaks, sausages, burgers and grilled veggies<\/strong> (2). Keep everyone refreshed with freshly-squeezed fruit juices served from dispensers<\/a> at a beverage station<\/strong> (5). Then offer up make-your-own desserts via an ice cream sundae bar<\/strong> (7).<\/p>\n

Finally, play up the family sentiment with outdoor activities. Think lawn games, a treasure hunt for the kids, a family trivia quiz\u2014culminating in movie-viewing (9) together as the sun begins to set. And don\u2019t forget the must-have group photos of everyone wearing a customized family reunion t-shirt<\/strong> (6) and each one signing their name on a personalized family tree canvas print <\/strong>(8) to mark the occasion!<\/p>\n
