Are you looking for tips on throwing an outdoor winter party while staying warm?
Fear not. There are plenty of options to keep your parties going all winter long, without risking frostbite. With these tips, your guests are sure to have a wonderful time all night long.
We've got the information you need today.
Heaters, Heaters, and More Heaters
The best way to keep your guests warm at your holiday party is to use patio heaters. If you don't own one, there are rental options out there available for you! You'll need to make sure you have plenty of propane available to keep the heaters running.
If you plan to have a bigger party, you may need to have more than one heater. Each propane heater covers about a 5 to 7-foot radius, so you'll have to keep area in mind when it comes to your outdoor party planning needs.
If you'd like to alternate with some true outdoor experiences, you can add a bonfire along with your heaters. That way, your guests will be able to roast marshmallows and enjoy that great campfire smell.
Inside and Outside
If you'd rather keep your guests covered, you can always use tents and canopies to keep them out of the snow and rain. Using a pop up canopy is a great option if you're more worried about the rain and snow than you are the lower temperature. You can also get a tent with walls to help insulate your guests if the weather gets too low.
Just make sure your decorations suite the theme! Plenty of white is already a great choice for any winter-themed party. If your party is planned around a holiday or specific event, make sure that you take that into consideration when planning your party. You don't want Christmas decor for a birthday party, after all!
Keep It Nice and Cozy
You might as well keep your guests as warm as possible at your party. So why not make it a snuggly, pajama party style event? Provide plenty of blankets and pillows so that your guests can wrap themselves up nice. You can even create your own blanket fort blanket fort for an extra dose of fun!
That's not the only way you can keep your guests nice and toasty. Covering all chairs and surfaces with faux fur and other soft and warm fabrics can help insulate your guests while keeping them nice and comfortable.
Keep the Meals on Theme
Staying warm starts on the inside. So, make sure you have plenty of warm, wintery food and drinks for all of your guests.
Hot chocolate is a great option for the little ones (and it can always be spiked with Bailey's for the grown-ups in your group). Hot toddies are a delicious holiday options that your guests will be sure to love. A piping glass of warm cider can add some tang to a cold winter night.
When it comes to snacks, there's more you can do. There are plenty of delicious soup options out there. Keep it classic with grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Try some finger food options to make sure everyone can finish their snacks before their food gets cold.
Or, you can add some spice for a different type of warmth. Anything with chili peppers can help add some pep to your step. For example, a nice spicy curry can be a great option.
Just make sure you have a way to keep your food and drinks nice and warm. If you're hosting a party in your own backyard, you can simply serve your foods from the house. If you're going to a different location, it may keep more organization.
And, you should make sure that your drinks will be able to stay warm while your guests sample them. Make sure you have plenty of insulated mugs, thermoses, and other proper utensils to keep your drinks toasty.
Plenty of Light
If you're hosting a party at night, you'll need to make sure you have plenty of light available. Candles can help set a festive atmosphere, but they can also be fire hazards if they aren't properly supervised.
You can try waterproof lanterns if you don't think you'll have access to an electric outlet or generator. If you will, try out string or Christmas lights to add a romantic ambience to your next outdoor party.
Plan Plenty of Activities
Keeping people active is a great way to make sure they stay warm during your outdoor winter party. You can plan a scavenger hunt to keep people on their feet and running around.
There are also plenty of outdoor winter party games for adults. You can use classic party games, like charades, hot potatoes, or sardines, so that everyone stays engaged in the party process.
You can also set up special winter activities. If it's snowing in your area, why not set up a snowball fight? Or, have a competition to create the best snowman (or person), and offer a party to the person who succeeds the best.
If you've got the facilities, there is even more that you can do. An ice-skating rink will keep your guests entertained all night long.
