am i crazy?
ok, well... i know the answer to the question 
but more specifically for this scenario...
i want to have an adult birthday party in the backyard... in mid-december. i'm in southern california.
i will rent four space heaters and i will have two small-ish fire pits.
i'm also going to have a blanket station if people get chilly.
am i crazy for wanting to put this together??

44 at night is cold. Personally, I would look for an indoor space to hold the party because if 44 is the average you could get a very cold night and then what is your back up plan? Can all of your guests fit in the house?

I think it's too cold. Even with a blanket and a heater I would not want to stay outdoors for an extended period of time.

What time of day? If it is mid afternoon, it will probably be close to the high, which, to me, is fine. That is like the fall in NY & people spend a lot of time outdoors then.
You should probably ask other Californians. My cousin lives in San Diego & her definition of cold is a lot different than mine!

Re: am i crazy?
would you be able to rent an enclosed party tent? my cousin had one for a late march party and that, coupled with the heaters, made it very comfortable for the backyard party.

Re: am i crazy?
I wouldn't do it. Maybe if it was a young crowd. Older people tend to have a very low tolerance for chilly weather. I went to an outdoor birthday party for a friends kid, I think it was the first week of October in the early evening... all the adults were ******** and moaning about how cold it was. I like the weather to be a little more mild so I didn't mind, but I felt terrible for my friend. A lot of people left before cake. The house wasn't big enough for everyone but a lot of people were trying to find a spot indoors.

I'd skip the blanket station and get a tent in case its too cold. My friend did a 40th here in NY in mid December and had a tent with space heaters and it was fine.

Re: am i crazy?
I would love it.
I prefer cooler weather and rather be outside in 44 degrees than 90

thanks for the info and the idea of a large tent.
being that the party isn't for another 18 months, i still have time to think of ideas, compare prices for tents, and check the old farmers' almanac for weather info (it served me well for my wedding back in 2006)
