I am in NC so I would be fine with a high of 57 but I know so many factors can make it feel much colder like if there was any wind. Cloudy always makes it feel colder than if it was sunny also. But I still wouldn't move it inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691874 Sun, 05 Feb 2017 08:40:28 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2691874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: It went great! Thanks for asking. It ended up being around 52 degrees, but there was no wind at all so it really wasn't bad. My in laws brought one of those outdoor propane heaters for one of the tables and they also went out and bought 2 smaller electric ones that people could stand by. The hot chocolate was yummy and the kids went crazy for the petting zoo. Everyone had a great time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691852 Sun, 05 Feb 2017 03:07:20 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2691852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: how'd it go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691712 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 11:39:25 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2691712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: yes, it'll be 70+ the rest of the week!

I would still go but I would hate every second being outside lol but I really hate the cold. but we still play outside when it's those temps so I'd suck it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691613 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 20:56:26 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2691613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I'm planning on bringing some hot chocolate in a crock pot and my in laws are going to try to find their table top outdoor heater for one of the tables. I think it'll be fine! People should know to wear coats, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691589 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 19:55:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2691589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you're fine. Coming from a Floridian. </p> <p>If you want maybe send out a text reminding people it's outdoors and it may be chilly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691554 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 18:25:56 +0000 snowjewelz 2691554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the NE so I wouldn't even bat an eye to this :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691552 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 18:22:42 +0000 bhbee 2691552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to a feb party like that outdoors. Hopefully you will get a little sun! Plus people should know to wear coats. We live in Dallas but are from up north so my opinion may be biased :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691543 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 17:45:39 +0000 youboots 2691543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd still have it outside but warn everyone to bundle it up. FWIW I'm in the PNW so that forcast does no phase me at all. I would be out wine tasting in that nice of weather this time of year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691534 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 17:23:40 +0000 Bluebonnet 2691534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Texas, and I say have the party outside as planned. As long as people know the party is outside, they will make sure to dress their kids appropriately.</p> <p>At preschool, they would most definitely still have recess in those conditions, so its not like its crazy to play outdoors in slightly cool weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691533 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 17:18:36 +0000 LindsayLou 2691533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in the pacific nw, so I personally wouldn't cancel for those conditions. But if you're worried about it, and it's causing you stress, I say cancel it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691532 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 17:18:31 +0000 PawPrints 2691532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say stick with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691530 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 17:12:43 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2691530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: the petting zoo would come to our house as the back up option. They can set up inside, but we'd have them on our back patio. We'd be losing the playground mainly. And space since our house is about 1700 sq ft total. We have a playroom, living room, kitchen as the main party area. And the zoo off the kitchen on the covered patio. </p> <p>I'm not worried about the rain as much since it's in the morning that it would rain and we'd towel off the playground if it did end up raining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691528 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 17:08:38 +0000 PawPrints 2691528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you move inside, you'd have to cancel the petting zoo and forgo the playground, right? Is there a backup space/activities?</p> <p>57 and rainy isn't the greatest, but I'd be really reluctant to cancel the petting zoo and the playground if it were me. Maybe just tell everyone to dress warmly, and hopefully there's an indoor option you could retreat to nearby if it winds up being uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-cold-for-outdoor-party#post-2691526 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 17:03:38 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2691526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's 3rd birthday is tomorrow and it's calling for a high of 57 and cloudy. 30% chance of rain in the morning. The party time is when it would be at its warmest. We're planning on a small petting zoo and there's a playground with a covered pavillion. We're in Texas so we're not as used to cold as the rest of the country. Lol. If it was going to be 60 and above, I'd totally have it outside, but 55-57 is iffy to me. We're planning on having about 20-25 adults, 9 kids. </p>
