The Story Behind The Date Crate Club!
Hi, I’m Emily— a former elementary teacher and lifelong creative at heart. A few years ago, I stepped out of the classroom and into a new role in school leadership. While I embraced the change, I quickly realized how much I missed the creativity that came from planning engaging lessons and bringing fun to everyday moments.
​Around that same time, I had just started dating my now-husband. Looking for a way to channel my creativity, I started putting together monthly “date crates” for us — little themed bundles with unique ideas, games, and activities we could do together. Some of them were cozy at-home date nights, while others led to adventures out and about. But all of them helped us make time for each other in a way that felt fun and intentional.
We fell in love with our date crates — even after getting married, we kept the tradition going. And now, we’re so excited to share that tradition with you. The Date Crate Club is our way of helping other couples find fun in the everyday and make memories without the stress or high cost. Every month, we bring you meaningful, affordable, and fun ways to spend time together. Simply download, print, schedule, gather your
materials, and let the good times roll!
We can’t wait for you to experience the magic of date night, made simple.
At-Home Date Nights
Each month, you'll receive a thoughtfully-themed at-home date night idea designed to turn ordinary evenings into meaningful memories. From delicious ice cream tastings to "traveling" the world together, every digital download includes everything you need - conversation starters, activity guides, printable extras, supply lists, and more - all in one easy-to-download bundle!
Burger of the Month Date Night Recipe
One of our go-to date nights has always been trying the Burger of the Month at a local restaurant - it's fun and always delicious. So we thought...why not bring that same excitement home?!
​
Each month, you'll get a creative and easy-to-make Burger of the Month recipe, perfect for cooking (and taste-testing!) together. It's a tasty way to try something new, and share a few laughs over the grill or stovetop!
