We're in the News

On Monday morning, we got to rise & shine with Rosie Newberry and Stephanie Gilbert, hosts of KXAN's Studio 512 as they highlighted Craven + Co's Virtual Event Boxes. We talked about our journey as a company during the pandemic, and the evolution of our Funboxes for pre-COVID events to during COVID events.

We delivered personalized Virtual Event Boxes to Rosie and Steph over the weekend, so that they could see our boxes first hand through the eyes of our clients' virtual event guests do. The boxes we decided had Rosie and Steph written all over them were our Tabletop S’mores Kit with a French 75 Cocktail Kit (recipe below in case you want to give it a whirl). Check out the full video below to see Rosie pour an overflowing glass of champagne as Tiffany shows off her mixologist skills, and Stephanie sporting our favorite snowflake glasses. It was a fun Monday morning!

Mealtime Magic with Studio 512

We love watching Studio 512 on KXAN in the morning + we’ve had the pleasure of visiting with Rosie on air a few times, as well! This week, Rosie + Steph tested out our Family Dinner Series from their homes with their new virtual segment format + they were cracking up the whole time. Even we were cracking up watching even though we’ve seen these mustaches + props dozens of times. Take a look & find out just *how* good these two look in mustaches. ♡

FAMILY DINNER SERIES

This series of Funboxes is a direct result of this moment in time which has positioned us all to be fighting the same fight, and thinking constantly of family + friends. We designed these home-based, family activities to break up the routine of quarantine for families who are having to get creative all day with homeschooling + entertaining each other. Use these Funboxes to coast a little bit and let Craven + Co. take the reins for a night or a few…whatever you need. We promise to entertain your quarantine crew and give them something to remember when we all get back to a new normal. We’re all doing what we should to get through this, and should be so proud of the way we’re working together in an unprecedented way…but we’re not gonna lie, it’s a challenge to keep our chins up some days. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and we’re hoping to help brighten the journey with a few laughs.

INGREDIENTS FOR AN INVENTIVE DINNERTIME

The Themed Dinner Series Funbox currently includes 3 theme options: Howdy Dinner, Hawaiian Luau, and Formal from the Waist Up.
Everything is included for kids to write out menus and place cards and set the table for their Quarantine Crew.
The kids will LOVE getting creative with writing the menus. We wants to make sure parents know that they don’t have to cook anything fancy for dinner! The themes are designed to let parents pull any old thing out of the freezer or order pizza, and the Funbox theme will then make it the kids FAVORITE, MOST FUN dinner. Craven + Co.’s main goal is to make the adults’ night smooth sailing…and for them to be rockstars without having to jump through hoops.
The Funbox includes props for everyone at the table to dress up for the occasion, so that no one can opt out.
We also include a Spotify playlist to really set the mood!
The basic box is for a family of 4. If you have a bigger crew, you can get a bigger box!

SHARING THE LOVE

For the duration of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Craven + Co. is donating 10% of profits from the Family Dinner Series to the Central Texas Food Bank to help families who need our help during this challenging time.
