Outdoor wedding & reception - tent questions

For lows in the 40s I would absolutely get heaters. We had dinner outside with temperatures in the 60s and our guests very much appreciated the heaters.

That's going to be cold so i would definitely try to get heaters

Heaters alone? Or you did tent sides and heaters? We will also have a fire pit on one side of the tent (s'mores bar). I'd almost rather people get warm by a fire than a bit ol heater lol.

Love that! But we have a tent, so we can't do those stand up heaters inside...they are these big boxy ones. Not sure what those would do to be turned on with no tent sides.

I would get tent sides & heaters. My cousin had tent sides & heaters and it was in the low 60s and people were still very cold. I'd alert people in advance the entire wedding will be outside so they can come prepared with heavy jackets. Are you doing something like blankets & hand warmers for favors? Or hot drinks available?

I would do tent sides, especially as a back up for rain. The sides can usually be removed if you'd like to have the more open air atmosphere earlier in the day or if it ends up being unseasonably warm and nice out. If you decide against heaters, I would definitely do blankets and hand warmers as favors. "To have and to hold in case you get cold."
