6. Don’t forget the dance floor to bust out some 90s dance moves

The 90s was the decade of cringey dance moves like the “sprinkler” and classics like the Macarena. Relive all your favorite 90s moves on the dance floor by having a large open space to show off the Cha Cha Slide and Roger Rabbit.

7. Take plenty of 90s-themed pics to commemorate the event

Remember your 90s-themed party for years to come with plenty of 90s-themed pics from the celebration! We love having unique props, like the 90s computers at this retro office set in Alhambra, CA, for your photo area!

8. Show off your favorite 90s cars

Remember the hype about Dodge Vipers in the 90s? This was one of the many iconic cars of the decade that you could include in your 90s celebration!  Book out a luxury car garage, like this industrial urban warehouse in Los Angeles, CA, to show off your favorite cars as part of your 90s-themed party ideas for adults.

10. Take a trip to the arcade, the ultimate 90s hangout spot

Arcades scream 90s entertainment! A trip to the arcade is the perfect way to celebrate in 90s style. Especially if you book an awesome retro arcade like this retro arcade set in LA! This venue not only has a total of 11 arcade games but also a prize wall with a variety of cute stuffed animals and fun RGB lights.

11. Sip on popular 90s cocktails to up the 90s vibe

In the 90s, “Zima” was the drink of choice. If you weren’t of age in the 90s, no worries — it’s never too late to try the 90s classic! In fact, at this Los Angeles distillery, you can learn to make this fun drink for yourself. This venue offers distillery tours, tastings, cocktail classes, and more.

12. Hit the rink for a 90s-style weekend party

If you were a tween or teen in the 90s, the only that mattered to you was meeting up with your friends at the local roller rink on Saturday nights. Pay homage to the timeless art of roller skating by making it the focus of your 90s party.

13. Throw a neon glow party with a 90s twist

Glow-in-the-dark fun wasn’t just for raves — the 90s loved their neon colors, too. Combine the best of both worlds by hosting a glow party where guests wear neon outfits, glow sticks, and UV-reactive makeup under black lights. It’s a high-energy vibe that feels perfectly in sync with the playful spirit of the 90s.

14. Host a Y2K party to end the decade in style

The late 90s flowed right into the wild Y2K era, making a y2k-themed party a perfect way to round out your theme. Think metallics, glitter, inflatable furniture, and nods to early 2000s pop culture. Bonus points if you serve snacks like Dunkaroos or Capri Suns to keep the nostalgia strong.

Quick tips for turning your 90s bash into the ultimate birthday party

If you’re hoping to make your 90s celebration an awesome adult birthday party, a few extra touches can take it to the next level:

• Set the vibe with throwback décor. Think lava lamps, inflatable chairs, bead curtains, and plenty of neon. They’ll transport your guests straight back to a time when MTV ruled the airwaves.
• Serve up 90s-inspired bites and drinks. Take classic snacks like Bagel Bites, Pop-Tarts, and Dunkaroos, but elevate them with adult twists — like cocktail pairings or themed charcuterie boards. Don’t forget retro cocktails like Zima (or a DIY version if you can’t find the real thing).
• Add interactive entertainment. Create a karaoke station featuring 90s hits, set up a retro gaming corner with Nintendo 64 or Sega, or host a trivia game covering 90s pop culture.
• Personalize the birthday moment. End the night with a nostalgic cake inspired by 90s TV, music, or toys — or even a photo slideshow set to “I’ll Be There for You.” It’s a sweet way to honor the guest of honor while staying on theme.

With these tweaks, your 90s party won’t just be a trip down memory lane — it’ll be a milestone birthday that feels both nostalgic and unforgettable.
