Don’t Be Clueless — How to Host a 90s Theme Party
Just like 90s fashion (hello, bucket hats, overalls, and plaid skirts), a 90s theme party is making a major comeback. If you’re a millennial, the last decade of the 20th century might just be your favorite, and we’re in total agreement.
The 90s introduced us to some of our favorite artists (we love you Britney Spears), TV shows (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, obviously), movies (Pretty Woman will always be a classic), and so much more.
90s themes are like a box of chocolate: you never know what you’re going to get (no, we didn’t forget Forrest Gump). Whether you spent the decade discovering Pokemon, listening to Destiny’s Child, quoting Clueless, asking your hair stylist for “The Rachel,” or cheering on MJ and the Chicago Bulls, everyone’s favorite parts of the 90s are different — and equally epic.
Scroll on to unlock a flood of fun, nostalgia-driven celebrations (you’re welcome), and to get inspiration for your own 90s theme party while finding top vendors to pull off the look.
People Also Ask…
What do you wear to a 90s theme party?
90s fashion is always fun — especially at a themed party. Think one-shoulder overalls, matching tracksuits, or a Michael Jordan jersey. If you’re leaning into 90s Hip Hop go for a gold chain, bandana, oversized tee, and a bright patterned jacket. Going for a Rachel Green-inspired look? We say grab a pair of small rectangle sunglasses, a classic leather jacket, or a pair of plaid bottoms.
How do you throw a 90s theme party?
Whether it’s a birthday bash, baby shower, holiday party, corporate event, or just for fun, the first step to throwing a 90s theme party is finding the perfect venue. Once you’ve secured a venue, we suggest hiring an event planner who can help you bring your nostalgic visions to life.
Caterers and bakeries that have 90s-inspired offerings are next on the list, followed by bands and DJs that will play your favorite 90s jams all night long. You can find all of your vendors on PartySlate (along with the best theme party inspiration, of course).
