The next idea is to decorate your location! Dig in your attic or basement to find items from the 90s to decorate your party. You can use old floppy disks or CDs to hang on the walls. Do-it-yourself decorations also raise the standards of your party; you could utilize them by turning the old gadgets into something fascinating. Even if you don’t find anything in your storeroom, you can count on the ‘I love 90s’ search results on Amazon. You can simply buy the things that you can utilize in the location Peerspace helped you find.

5. Posters from past

Without the posters and props, your party will seem incomplete. Get your favorite 90s posters — whether it is of ‘Friends’ or ‘Nirvana’ — printed out, although try to keep them in accordance with your theme, and hang them around the place. You may want to add many funny and cute filters in your selfies using different apps like Snapchat; however, they were non-existent in the 90s. Therefore, bring your ancestor to the party which is the props. Props come in handy with the photo booth, which brings us to our next 90s theme party idea.

Create your own photo booth at your 90s party venue! Design a theme-related background and pick up a Polaroid or Fujifilm Instax camera so guests can immediately have the pictures, in the hard form, just like the 90s. If you can’t get your hands on a camera, go with a regular camera and use a tripod stand to make it look like a professional booth.

7. Taste of the 90s

This category may vary from place to place however, it’s an easy job to find out trendy beverages and appetites during the 90s.

Another small attention to detail that goes a long way is the supplies such as neon or bright colored disposable plates and glasses. They are cheap to buy and secondly, they are a great help in cheering your guests.

Like any typical party, games become a staple! Since most parties enjoy having cocktails or beer, why not challenge your guests with a drinking game? Games like Mad Libs were a hit in the 90s. You can also discuss your favorite recent movies and transform them into what they would be like if they came out in the 90s.

A week before the party, browse through playlists like “blast from the past” and “90s top hits” so that you can fill the missing pieces and create your own pro-90s playlist. With this, you managed to create your own time machine that will take your party back to the 90s. Don’t forget to ask your guests about their favorite 90s songs. Given that this generation is really fond of earlier legends, everyone will have more than one song to suggest, so you could turn it into 90s trivia. The winner gets to be the DJ for the next hour.
