10 Funky 90’s Themed Party Ideas to Take Your Guests Back

Now that all the 80s and early 90s babies are well and truly into their 30s – it’s time to create some party themes to take them back to their childhood!

At Table Art, we love a themed party, and 90’s themed parties are certainly becoming more popular – this is one of the themes we’ve seen grow over the past couple of years, and it’s not going to slow down any time soon.

So, if your guests were into beanie babies, Tamagotchis, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Friends, then here are some 90’s themed party ideas that will surely be a hit!

1. Video Games of the 90s 

Transport guests back to the era of classic video games with a party featuring popular consoles like Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo 64. Set up gaming stations with retro games like Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Street Fighter. Encourage guests to dress as their favourite video game characters.

At Table Art, we have various gaming props and decorations, including Pac-Man lighting boards, Rubik’s cube light-up seating and various other props. Most of these fit into our 80s event styling category, but we can, of course, make them work for the ’90s party too. 

2. Hollywood Glamour Party 

Celebrate the movies and stars of the 90s with a Hollywood-themed party. We can decorate your venue with movie posters, red carpet backdrops, and star-themed table centrepieces and props. 

You can encourage guests to come dressed as their favourite 90s movie characters, or a Black Tie dress code would also go down a treat.

3. 90s Dance Party 

The 90s was all about dance parties and neon colours! Turn your venue into a 90s dance club with our DMX neon lighting, neon light-up tables, and mirror ball centrepieces. Our Pixel Tubes combined with DMX lighting can bring the disco right to the table!  

You could also include some glow sticks for your guests to wear as an extra 90s flashback. Give your DJ a playlist of the best dance hits of the decade and encourage guests to break out their best dance moves inspired by 90s music videos.

4. Sports Celebration 

Pay tribute to the sports stars and iconic moments of the 90s with a sports-themed party. We have a selection of sports theme table centres that would fit perfectly. Football light panels and a selection of sporting table centres, including football, tennis rackets, jockeys and various football elements. 

You could even decorate with team jerseys, sports memorabilia, and posters of legendary athletes like Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal, and Serena Williams. Set up games like mini-basketball hoops or a nostalgic game of 90s sports trivia.

5. 90s Beach Party 

Bring the beach party vibes of the 90s to your event with a laid-back, tropical theme. You can use our palm tree props along with beach balls, surfboards, and deck chair decorations. Our themed lanterns are also perfect for the beach party theme. We can custom print tropical designs and even include your company logo for extra branding opportunities!

Why not take the theming into the catering and serve fruity cocktails and classic beach snacks like chips, salsa, or even a shrimp cocktail?

6. Traditional 90s Prom Night 

Recreate the magic of a high school prom from the 90s with a themed party complete with our balloon arches, mirror disco balls and a red carpet entrance. These iconic décor elements paired with a formal prom dress code will surely take your guests back! Imagine the prom fashion your guests can have fun with, from satin dresses and tuxedos to corsages and cummerbunds.

7. Classic Black Tie 

a classic black tie event can fit into any year. This would be a great option if you’re looking for a subtle theme. You can still include 90s elements such as a classic balloon entrance and, of course, incorporate 90s music into your evening.

8. 90s Fashion Party 

Encourage guests to come dressed in their favourite 90s fashion trends, such as flannel shirts, baggy jeans, overalls, scrunchies, neon windbreakers, band t-shirts, platform trainers, and double denim.

You may want to keep your décor broader for a 90 fashion-themed party and include our neon tables, pixel string lights and centrepieces and our LED cube seats. But, if you really want to take your guests back – why not use our new logo sphere design with the iconic ‘nineties smiley face’? We hope you guests are ready to feel nostalgic!

9. Sex and the City-Themed Party 

Cosmo anyone? Transport your guests to 90s New York with our selection of props, including our inflatable Empire State Building, skyline light panels and the Statue of Liberty. 

10. Pop Divas Party 

Pay homage to the iconic female pop stars of the 90s, such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Spice Girls, and Destiny’s Child. Decorations can include glittery disco balls, neon lights, and posters of pop divas. Why not encourage guests to dress as their favourite pop stars? Or even in flashy, sparkly outfits.

There’s plenty more where that came from, so if you can’t see your perfect theme above, make sure you take a look at the event styling section of our website to find out what else we can do for your event.
