Party Ideas To Get You Outside In the Winter

Do you have cabin fever? Get out of your rut, hosting an outdoor winter party for your family and friends. Take it outside, letting the beauty of the winter landscape take center stage as you gather together to enjoy all the season has to offer in your outdoor living space.

Get a Fire Burning

Dress warmly, cozying up to a roaring fire with your loved ones. A fire feature makes the ideal focal point for your winter party. Today's portable fire pits allow for a fast and affordable fire feature addition, easily and safely installing beneath your StruXure pergola. Open on all four sides and safely distanced from your pergola structure, they present no ventilation issues, offering additional airflow with the touch of a button when you need to clear smoke or vent excess heat.

Emphasize Winter’s Wonder

Reflect the snowy wonderland outside with white accents, such as white snowball candles, lanterns, and fairy lights. Or if you are the creative type, construct your own DIY decor. Add an elegant touch with mason jars lined with evergreen clippings and pine cones, or for an interesting conversation piece and splash of color, freeze red flowers inside blocks of ice.

Warm Up with a Hot Toddy

Serve warming food and drinks, enjoying conversations with your friends and family while sipping hot buttered rum or mulled cider. Keep cheeks pink and tummies happily filled with creamy cheese fondue, toasty bread, and zesty chili, ensuring food and drinks are safe from snow or freezing rain beneath your StruXure pergola addition. If you are hosting kids, be sure to include a steaming pizza, hot apple cider, or cocoa for a welcome treat, and fireside s' mores for all to enjoy.

Get Cozy

Line your outdoor living space with totes filled with scarves, mittens, and hats for those that need extra layers and warm, plush throws for guests to snuggle in. When the fire winds down, engage the additional warmth of slim, wall-mount patio heaters from Infratech Comfort.

Take Shelter

Don't let winter rain or snow put an end to your outdoor enjoyment. When inclement weather strikes, simply slide the louvers of your StruXure adjustable aluminum pergola closed, keeping everyone warm and dry. If winter winds pick up, engage the motorized curtains on your StruXure pergola with the touch of a button, ensuring a comfortable time well into the evening hours.
