Propane heater question

I'm hosting the family Thanksgiving celebration in my backyard this year. It's supposed to be 65* outside at 3PM thi turkey day. However, I want to have a back up plan. Too many people to have inside in case it gets nasty cold outside so I need a way to provide warmth without burning anyone including a hole in my wallet. What would you suggest?

I thought of those tall patio heater units that Costco is selling for a reasonable price. It'll provide heat for up to 16' diameter area. Problem with that is storage. The thing is about 8' tall and about 3' around so I simply don't have the room to store it indoors afterwards. Is there a shorter unit but not a table top jobber? What about those radiant heat heaters that mount on top of a 20 lb propane tank? Are they safe?

I should've posted this question last week. Now I'm panicking with just three days left before the big day. Expecting about 50 people.
