Mild autumn weather offers a wonderful opportunity for an outdoor
Thanksgiving gathering. Rather than being crowded within the confines of your
home, an outdoor Thanksgiving event gives you more room to spread out and enjoy
your celebration with family and friends. How can you ensure outdoor Turkey Day
festivities go off without a hitch?
Plan Your Menu and Seating In
Advance
Rather than waiting until the day of the event, prepare your
tables and seating setup in advance. Consider all the options that might work
for your outdoor space. This could be one or two large tables or several small
tables. A buffet set up, drink, and dessert stations are another option to
tabletop fare. Decide on tableware and centerpieces, assembling and storing
them nearby for quick setup Thanksgiving morning. Decide on the menu you will
be providing, and whether you’ll be delegating any cooking tasks to family and
friends.
Be Prepared for Weather-Related
Snafus
The last thing you want is to be squeezing diners into an unprepared
home due to off-weather on Turkey Day. Create a welcoming dining space
regardless of the weather with the help of your Arcadia adjustable aluminum
pergola. Our state of the art systems allow you to accommodate outdoor dining
year-round, providing the perfect place to enjoy a holiday meal and relax with
family and friends. Should unexpected weather take your Thanksgiving event by
surprise, a quick adjustment to pergola louvers ensures a comfortable,
drip-free dining experience. When the weather clears, reopen your louvers and
let the sunshine in on your event.
Do Some of the Cooking 1-2 Days
Before the Event
Lighten your Thanksgiving load, freeing up oven and cooktop space
the day of the main event by beginning some cooking tasks a day or two in
advance. Side dishes like mashed potatoes, casseroles, and many desserts are
easily made ahead and stowed in the fridge in oven-friendly containers.
Watch the Clock on the Big Day
Get your turkey into the oven, ensuring plenty of time to rest
before dining. Reheat vegetables and side dishes made the day before to
serve alongside your turkey. Before guests arrive, tackle and last-minute setup
and décor to-dos.
Stop sweating the holiday seating arrangements. Spread out and
enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday outdoors beneath the comfort of an StruXture adjustable
aluminum pergola.
