Fortress Party 2017 Retrospective, Part 7A - Box Party

 



The Box Party room was made entirely out of cardboard, rather than sheets. We had been toying with this idea for years, but it was finally made possible by two factors. 1. We had just purchased a new mattress and box spring by mail, which came in the largest boxes I had ever seen. 2. Some friendly new neighbors bought the house across across the street, and had dozens of leftover boxes from their move. 



Cardboard is much heavier than sheets, so clothesline wasn't enough to support the ceiling; we also had to support it from below with cardboard columns.




The bar was stacked with juice boxes and a variety of boxed wines.



Which proved too much for some guests to handle.



Cardboard-headed people appeared in all the family pictures on the wall. 



There was a Box Party sign in sheet, which was a sheet of cardboard.



But guests were also encouraged to write all over the walls with Sharpies.





Instead of stickers with Fort puns, Box Party had cardboard badges with box puns.
