[quote=Anonymous]This sounds fun, OP!

Here is what I would do:

Chicken on the grill, with a couple different sauces (I would do a mild BBQ sauce, a spicy BBQ sauce, and maybe the lemon/herb sauce from Nando's or something similar)
Hot dogs for kids with buns, ketchup, mustard, relish
Chips and dip (potato/French onion or corn/salsa)
Green salad with cut up red peppers, cucumber, tomatoes with a lemon vinaigrette (2 parts fresh lemon juice, 1 part olive oi)
Watermelon or other fruit salad
Pitcher with sparkling water and frozen fruit in it 
Beer and/or wine
Cake

If you are planning on doing something like this more regularly, I would get a set of cheap stemless wine glasses to use in the back yard. I bought two sets of these and only use them for parties: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KIG3QVG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then get some cute paper napkins and paper plates and have fun! And I second the PP's suggestion to have a small glass of wine about half an hour before the party starts.[/quote]
