Pre-making pretzel buns.
I've recently learned how to make my own pretzel buns, and was planning on using a similar technique to make pretzel dinner rolls for thanksgiving dinner next month.
The only problem is that I want to bake the buns at the house where they will be eaten, but I won't be able to boil them in the baking soda solution on site, as there will likely be no room on the range.
Will there be any problems with pre-boiling the pretzels and allowing them to sit, possibly overnight, before baking them?

If you are unable to boil them in the baking soda solution on site then pre-boiling the pretzels shouldn't be a problem. I also agree with Fabby's comment above about wrapping them individually in a foil and keeping them refrigerated overnight. Note that I haven't tried this myself but am pretty confident that it should be fine, good luck.

There are recipes where you can use room temperature baking soda rather than a boiling mixture. While it may not be exactly the same I've a recipe like that and they tasted great.
