sleep neckid with a bunch of your bodies to share body heat.
The wife and I went to a motorcycle rally in N. Georgia in the fall one year and camped in our 2 man tent. We each had our own sleeping bag and a self-inflating pad to go on the ground under the bag. I was OK, but the wife was miserably cold.
We wound up zipping both bags together to form one big one and cuddled up to stay warm the first 2 nights before the weather warmed back up.

I've done it many times and have 2 things that stand out in my mind.
1) A snow cave is much warmer than any tent.
With that being said,
2) I've always found myself warmer at night than I anticipated. More times than nor, I've shed layers as the night has gone one.
However, as I type this I can also say it's easier to cool down than warm up, so regulating body temperature is always in flux.
