Read on to learn more about throwing a 90s-themed party that’ll have everyone celebrating the new year in style.
Choose a Fun 90s Theme
When it comes to a 90s themed party, the possibilities are endless. Pick a 90s movie, show, or video game that everyone can relate to. Whether you choose the classic sitcom Friends, the classic game Mario Kart, or the hit movie Titanic, it’s sure to be a hit. Decorate with nostalgic items from the 90s like posters, VHS tapes, and more. You can also opt for a more general 90s theme like “acid wash jeans” or “glow in the dark.”
Create a 90s Playlist
No 90s themed party is complete without a great playlist. Choose songs from the 90s that everyone can enjoy. Some of the most popular songs from the 90s include “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana, “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys, and “No Scrubs” by TLC. Make sure to include some of the classics like “Wonderwall” by Oasis and “Waterfalls” by TLC. You can also opt for a 90s hip-hop playlist featuring Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and more.
Serve 90s-Themed Food and Drinks
When it comes to food and drinks, go for dishes and drinks that were popular in the 90s. For drinks, serve up classics like Fuzzy Navels, Long Island Iced Teas, and of course, Zimas. For food, you can create a 90s-inspired buffet. Serve up dishes like mac and cheese bites, nachos, chicken fingers, and pizza. Also, don’t forget to include some classic desserts like Oreo cookies and Pop Tarts.
Plan 90s-Themed Activities
In addition to food and drinks, plan some activities that’ll have everyone reminiscing about the 90s. If you’re throwing a 90s movie-themed party, set up a movie marathon. Have everyone choose their favorite 90s movie and watch them back-to-back. You can also play some classic 90s video games like Super Mario Kart and Street Fighter. And don’t forget to have a dance-off with classic 90s songs like “This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan.
Wear 90s-Inspired Outfits
For a real 90s feel, encourage everyone to dress up in 90s-inspired outfits. Have everyone wear classic 90s looks like acid wash jeans, flannel shirts, and chunky sneakers. For girls, they can opt for crop tops, overalls, and Doc Martens. And for guys, suggest that they wear baggy jeans, graphic t-shirts, and snapback hats. Encourage everyone to get creative with their 90s looks.
Send Out 90s-Themed Invitations
To get everyone in the 90s spirit, create some fun and festive invitations. Incorporate classic 90s phrases like “talk to the hand” or “all that and a bag of chips.” You can also include some nostalgic 90s items like cassette tapes and VHS tapes. And don’t forget to include the date, time, and location of the party on the invitation.
Make a Memorable Toast
At the stroke of midnight, make sure to make a memorable toast to the new year. Talk about the year that’s passed and the year that’s ahead. And make sure to incorporate some 90s references. You can talk about how you’ve made it through the “thick and thin” or how you’re “totally stoked” for the new year. This is sure to get everyone in the celebratory spirit.
