It doesn't matter as long as I have ample warning and you drop "formal."

People will stay much longer with a fire pit or heaters.

Mid 50's with warning to the guest that there will be no heating.

My initial thought was also mid-60s. But I will say, I went for a walk Saturday morning when it was 45-55 and in the sun it was really nice and warm. Did OP say if it was a daytime event or evening? The threshhold would be significantly lower if it's a daytime event.

+1 I can’t imagine planning a formal event in November without heaters! It’ll be in the 40s in the evening this weekend. Definitely move it inside!

Why not just rent heaters?

It's November. You can do the indoors-outdoors thing, but people should be obviously welcome inside. What type of event are you thinking? What is the point?

It's November.

How long are people expected to be outside?

And if you say, just wear a coat? I would be pissed if I went through the trouble to find a nice dress and accessories and then spent the evening covered up like the Michelin Man.


Is this a typo? 75 degrees is awfully warm. Most people’ winter thermostats are set way lower than 75 degrees.


NP and I have layers on inside, like a sweatshirt or a wearable blanket if I’m just hanging out in my house. If I have to look nice I want it to be in the 70s or higher for outdoor events. I can do 60s if I’m warned it’s outside.
