Answers:
Here's what I would suggest:

Get bundles of hay and throw that down, enough to cover the dirt part of the yard!. Get tiki torches to go around the outskirts of the yard!. Consider stringing mini white lights (like Christmas lights) around the fences or up trees!. Putting light higher than eye level will minimize the not-so-lovely ground!. Make sure things are well-balanced as well!. Unorganization will do the most harm in making your yard look a mess!. Get tablecloths in matching bright colors (white, pink, orange, etc) to go on tables positioned evenly around the yard!.
Get some fun decorations, also!. Chinese lanterns, potted plants, jars of bright candy, and balloons!.

Most importantly, have fun! Really, you are your own worst critic!. People just want a place to come relax and have fun!. VERY few people will be criticizing your place!. And if you have good food, even those people won't care!.
