I was thinking more about the schedule you mentioned and it actually works out pretty well for me. If we start a little earlier in the day, it gives us some room in case anything runs long or people arrive at different times.
For food, I like your idea of keeping things simple and letting everyone pick from a few easy options. It might help to send a short list so people can reply with what they want, and that way we are not guessing.
For the activities, I agree that a mix of relaxed time and one or two light games will keep things from feeling too structured. I can bring some cards and a small speaker, and you can handle the seating and layout.
If you want, I can also help with cleanup afterward so you are not stuck doing everything once people head out.
              LOWE'S
            Enjoy an EGO Power+ Leaf Blower for sharing your Lowe's visit
            You are invited to answer a brief set of questions about a recent stop at Lowe's. It takes about a minute and helps us keep your in-store experience clear and easy.
            When you finish, you can receive an EGO Power+ Leaf Blower along with an $85 Lowe's Store Card as a thank you for your time.
            Your shopper ID for this invitation is LX-4827-93. Please keep this handy while you complete the questions.
                    Begin your quick Lowe's visit check‐in for the EGO blower and card
            The questionnaire focuses on how easy it was to find items, get assistance, and move through checkout. Most people finish in under a minute.
            Thank you for being a Lowe's shopper. Your feedback guides how we arrange our aisles, plan support, and improve future visits.
            This email was sent to you based on a previous visit to Lowe's. If you did not shop with us recently, you can disregard this message.
I looked over the outline you shared and it already covers most of what we need, but I think we can simplify a couple of sections. The introduction feels a bit long, so trimming a few lines could help people get to the main point faster.
For the middle part, adding a short list with clear steps might make it easier to follow, especially for anyone who is new to the process. We do not need a lot of extra detail, just enough to avoid confusion.
On timing, your suggested window works, though it might help to block a brief pause between parts so people can reset and catch up. I can keep an eye on the clock and give you a quiet cue when we need to move ahead.
If you send the latest version later today, I can do one more pass and return it with small edits.
