No Smart Phones

No Smart Phones Unless you own an old colorless "brick" cell phone that was around in the late 90s, you should not have a cell phone in your hand during the party. This is one of those 90s themed party ideas that may seem annoying at first, but will actually help everyone have a better time! Nowadays we are all so busy texting or checking Facebook on our phones that we have lost a sense of physical communication. Banning phone use at your party will remind your guests of a simpler time where phones were only used for calling! Plus, less phone use means more conversation, so make sure your guests only use their phones for emergencies!

90's Toys

90's Toys One of the best things about the 90s was the array of new toys that came out. Litter your house with 90s themed toys that will remind your guests of what kids used to want before iPods and Leapfrog tablets! You know that trunk of Beanie Babies you have in the attic? Toss them around your tables and couches. Furbies, Skip-its, Tomagotchis, Pokemon cards, Troll Dolls, whatever you still have at your house! It will give your guests a good laugh and also have their kids occupied with something fun.

UPD:

The 90s was a time of great innovation in the world of toys. Kids had access to a variety of new and exciting toys that had never been seen before. From the iconic Furbies to the beloved Tamagotchis, the 90s provided a treasure trove of fun and unique toys.

For those looking to throw a 90s themed party, this is the perfect opportunity to bring out those classic toys. Furbies, Skip-Its, Tomagotchis, Pokemon cards, Troll Dolls, and Beanie Babies are all great options for decorating your party space.

In addition to the toys, there are plenty of other ways to bring the 90s to life at your party. Play 90s music, serve snacks from the era, and dress up in 90s fashion. You can even screen classic 90s movies and TV shows to really get your guests in the mood.

90's Music

90's Music Of course to make a 90s party complete, you need to play some 90's music! Pandora has a 90s themed radio station, or if you want to really commit to your 90s party, you could always get play old CDs that you may have. Whatever your method is to play music, make sure your playlist includes "The Macarena," "Baby Got Back," Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Britney Spears, Spice Girls, and Hanson. I guarantee that every one of your guests will be belting out "I Want It That Way" by the end of the night, so make sure to keep your video cameras ready!

UPD:

Aside from playing popular 90s music, there are many other ways to incorporate the decade into your party. You could set up a photo booth with props such as scrunchies, butterfly clips, and inflatable furniture.

Party Favors

Party Favors What better party favor to give out at the end than 90's candy! Pop Rocks, Ring Pops, Push Pops, War Heads, Bubble Tape Gum ... the list could go on and on. If you want to throw in a little something extra, put in a cassette tape with the date, title, and color scheme of your 90s theme on the label. This way, they have the perfect retro keepsake to remember your party by! No point in actually making an actual mix-tape of 90's music for them to bring home as it would probably take you days to record and they most likely have no cassette players in their home to listen to it. Oh how I miss mix-tapes!

Video Games

Video Games A huge part of the 90s was the introduction of popular video game systems. You have the original Nintendo Gameboy, SNES, the original PlayStation, and N64. If you or someone you know still has these consoles, use them for competitions during your party! See how far each of you can get in Super Mario Bros. or Frogger. The person who does the best will win a fun 90s themed prize! Or just leave the game system out for people to play with as they wish, especially if you have a multi-player game.
