All great questions! The best thing about the Box House, and one of the reasons we fell in love with it, is that the venue has a retractable roof! If it happens to be a BEAUTIFUL March day (fingers crossed), then we may have the roof open (at least for a bit). The roof also has a full HVAC system, so heaters can be on while the roof is open. If it is horrible weather, the roof will be closed and the entire rooftop will be temperature regulated to adjust accordingly.
RSVP's are not required until January 16th, after formal invitations are received. However, if you 100% know that you can NOT attend, we would greatly appreciate that you let us know via email to edwardandjosephine@gmail.com as soon as you can.
Black-tie optional means that it is preferred that guests wear tuxes and gowns, but it is not required. Dark colored suits and cocktail dresses are also accepted! Ladies, black-tie does not necessary mean black gowns.. it will be the start of spring and I would love to see some pops of color in the crowd! :) The rooftop does have little slats (teeny-tiny spaces in-between the wood planks). While we do not imagine that super skinny heels would get stuck in the slats, it may better to just be safe and go for block heels. Anyway, we expect everyone to be on the dance floor all night long so comfort is key!
