Dollar Tree Party DIY's and Tips on How to Plan a Party on a Budget

[@coupontoprovide]

I can't tell you how much it warms my heart to see what you and your husband do for your family at the same time keeping them grounded. It's amazing and I love that donut theme. I may just have to make that donut wall just because it's Monday. Lol. Thank you Kerri for sharing. 💙

[@TheGlamourtogo]

coupontoprovide agree!!!!!

[@verikeri2849]

Awww such a sweet comment. We are very big on family at our home. I am also drawn to other YT'ers such as yourself that puts family first. You do an amazing job taking care of your family as well. Ahhh, the donut wall...it's funny what you can get yourself into when your imagination runs wild. What should have been a super duper easy task turned into something a little more complicated. I am glad that it all worked out.

[@ladysolis2909]

Veri Keri. omg I can't believe how much you spend on the party. when you revealed the amount my mouth dropped. everything was awesome I loved it i really need to show this to all my sisters. I don't have kids but I have 4 sisters that do and they always spend so much in a little party. hope you do more videos like this and keep up the good work. may god bless you and your family. really love your work

[@verikeri2849]

I was a PTA member, but didn't do the school dances. But our Girl Scout troop was FIERCE! You should have seen our Christmas Parade Float and the parties we had. I so miss those days. Got me over here reminiscing :)

[@ThePrincessWithin313]

[@kyndallhill36]

[@djtjlal]

Thank you for this inspiration!! I’m working to start my own party planning business and your videos are soo helpful when I don’t have many friends or family who “get it” it lol sometimes I sound crazy telling them about my dollar tree finds! I love watching your videos!

[@TheeTravelingTech]

[@verikeri2849]

I don't think I will be doing any dorm room makeovers for the next 4 years when Rae graduates :) Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Sleipnirseight]

I want to throw myself a birthday party this year, but am on a super tight budget. Your video is SO helpful- I'm definitely gonna use some of your ideas and tricks. I really appreciated your advice to focus your decoration on one or two small areas for that "wow" factor!

[@irene-monique89]

What a creative and unique party. I love the everything !! Thank you for sharing !! 😩😍👍🏽💯

[@cathyscrafts297]

[@renitamorton4256]

Thanks so much for that DIY project. Im starting a kids planning parties needed those tips.

[@kathleenb7501]

Thanks so much Veri Keri, my kids are adults but we have grandkids. The video informed me on how I can be a help with the GK's celebrations.

[@emromes7306]

I LOVED this so much! I’m beginning to start planning my engagement party and you have the best ideas for repurposing items and creating party decor. Thank you so much. I will be sure to let you know how the planning and outcome goes xx stay blessed

[@SweetTeaAtl]

This was fantastic! Thank you for such a detailed video! My bday is approaching and I'm going to try and incorporate these tips.

[@charlestonswim]

wow. this was really great. You are a wonderful communicator and this video was very classy and well put together. What a thoughtful mom you are! I'm very inspired. Thank you!

[@vegasvancitygirl9251]

I just found you. YOU ARE AMAZING! The donut board? WOW!! You have such a great imagination and everything flows together so BEAUTIFULLY

[@conniebrown7946]

I love your creativity, the hoops were a great touch

[@humanbeing9100]

omg .... u just saved me!!! Thank you so much!!! seriously the most detailed video I've ever watched!!! you are the best!! thanks again!!!

[@beautifulfromashleyb3704]

You are the fancy diy Queen! This party was soooo pretty, I could wait to see the details when I seen it on instagram! Everything was practical but glamorous! You are so right about the nasty candy bars.. they are literally for looks only. Amazing as always!!! I would love to see a video on your husband and your rules and perspective for dating.

[@verikeri2849]

Awww thanks! I try to make good use of everything we have. I cannot believe how much folks spend on candy bars and no one eats the candy :) I don't think y'all ready to see how we talk to our children about boys, sex, dating, etc. We keeps it all the way real. My husband talks to them from the male perspective and I give them the female perspective. We make a great team when it comes to teaching the girl. The one piece of advice I can give to most parents is Whatever you feel comfortable or think is appropriate to discuss with your child.....ramp that up 100 times. Kids know/are exposed to waaaay more than we think they are :)

[@ellewoods8178]

Thrift stores & yard sales & the Dollar stores and using coupons and U can almost decorate for FREE . ( It's an ADVENTURE for ME ! 🤓💖 ). Yaaaaaas 💛💙💜💚❤

[@gldnkltz101]

Wow! The creativity and effort you put into your shindigs is always amazing. I wish I had you for a mother when I was a teenager!

[@LIFECHANGESFORAREASON555]

that poem was just so sweet and an awesome idea!! love love love!!!

[@maritzaguzman5751]

You are very original. I learned a lot and enjoyed watching your video!

[@tammygodfrey237]

I love this idea you always think outside the box

[@verikeri2849]

[@annetteharris8765]

Fun. Great job and ideas 💡. Me my sisters and girls cousins are having a 50+ hotel sleep over we coming from all over the place so you know. Booty box 📦 twerk is a must, and some others. You got my creativity juices flowing. Thanks 😊

[@cathlynnmena7019]

You are GENIUS!! Your decor and party ideas are absolutely AHHMAZING! 💜 the idea of texting the invite to everyone too!! TFS~

[@verikeri2849]

Awww thanks! I just love being creative. That was the first time we ever tried texting the invite. I am a big stickler on giving physical invitations, but this actually worked out fine.

[@moniquejohnson3595]

My 8 year old and I watched and enjoyed everything you did. We will try and use some or all of your ideas for her future birthdays thanks for sharing and keep those videos coming. Xoxo

[@shalaeboyd401]

That letter from her father was just adorable!! Great video, I subscribed!

[@MissNoragnn]

$250?! That's amazing! I'm currently planning a spongebob themed party for my boyfriend who's very health conscience so my biggest cost is food and alcohol. My goal is to keep it under $300 which is a challenge. I completely agree on the specialty candy that no one wants to eat anyway, I was stressing about finding a way for his favorite treats to match the tablescape so thank you for sharing these tips, so simple and so beautiful.

[@lifeadventureswithmamabev8459]

Beautiful party ideas. I start early so I can find things at a reasonable cost. Love goodwill finds. Gold spray paint is my bestie too. Lol

[@Only_Cats_OC]

This is an awesome video! We usually spend around $300 on the first birthday party. It sounds silly because they're only turning one, but it's the last party for mom and dad. By that I mean our oldest two (10 & 4) have chosen their birthday party themes since they were two. Our youngest is only 5 months old, so her big party is coming up soon. But once they turn 2 we cut our budget (including food) down to $200 or less each birthday. This year we are doing a joint birthday party for the older two this weekend. Total budget was $250, but we ended up spending only $150. I DIY everything I possibly can and shop our home as well. I make greeting cards and various crafts for a living so I have a lot of DIY products at my hands at all times. Then I do most of the party shopping at dollar tree and 99 cent only stores. Food shopping for this one is easy because it's a valentine's donut themed party. "All you need is Love and Donuts". I thought the kid's would be against a joint birthday party because of the difference in age, but they are both really excited! Next year they both want to go to Knott's Berry Farm for their birthday in lieu of a party.

[@tlamb6044]

Love your theme parties and entertainment gatherings you always put together! stay creative and Blessed!

[@marybriss1107]

I Loved this video, everything looked wonderful and what I loved the most is that you try to make it affordable. I have 4 children ( a 18yr old daughter,14yr old son , 8yr old daughter and 3yr old daughter) and I am always looking for great ideas for their birthday party's. Three of my children's birthdays are with a month difference and I try to make them each at least a small party, I would love for you to make more of these videos. I would really appreciate it, thank you!

Love!!!! I just gave my daughter a Slime 9 Party and the total was $200 for 15 kids. Great ideas wish I’d seen your video prior😍

[@touchinglives6625]

Omg the final cost of your party 🎉 was amazing!!!! I did a party for my 10 year old son that wasn't nearly as elaborate as yours and it cost well over $1500. I promised myself I'd never do that again. Your budget, tips and trips are amazing! TFS!😊

[@verikeri2849]

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Did you have the party at your home or at a rented venue? The most expensive party I did was for my daughter's 8th birthday. That was the first and only party we had at a venue. It was a cowgirl themed party and I just had to have the party at a farm complete with horse riding :)

[@touchinglives6625]

Veri Keri I usually do home parties but this year we rented a pavilion at the park and had the game truck come set up for 2 hrs. It was a video game theme. I honestly went overboard on the treats and goodie bags. I had food catered. It was a good party but not worth the stress and expense. My son and the kids were happy with just the game truck 😂
