The 90s were a very memorable period, and in modern times even ridiculous in some respects. Therefore, a party in the style of the 90s will be very fiery, fun and memorable. Want to "come off"? Then prepare thoroughly.
90s
This was a turning point in the life of the current Russia. The country was in a "limbo" state, and many of its inhabitants could not even plainly say in which state they live - still in the USSR or already in something else.
The situation in society was undergoing a peak of the crisis, permissiveness and other negative aspects reigned. Not only the country was changing, the people in it were changing. After the collapse of the USSR, it was hard to adapt to new laws and actions, so the Russians adapted themselves as best they could.
The propaganda of the West, forbidden in the Union, penetrated the life of Russian citizens more and more, changing people's thoughts, fashion, musical predilections and gastronomy. After the deficit of the USSR, foreign goods appeared on the shelves, instantly "zombifying" people's minds.
What to focus on? Attributes of the decade
So, the chosen room will need to be decorated in the style of a 90s party. This will require things and objects that were very popular in everyday life among youth of the "dashing" years. By the way, photos from a party in the style of the 90s will turn out what you need.
What attributes would be appropriate:
- Surely you or your friends are littered with posters of 90s stars. They can glue the walls. Young people of that time taped almost all the walls in their rooms with such posters. Recreate this in your room.
- Chewing gum “Turbo”, Love is ... - both children and adolescents “chewed” them. Collected liners and stickers, accumulating entire collections. Therefore, it is worthwhile to purchase several boxes of your favorite chewing gum and put as a treat on the festive table. It will turn out original.
- A rainbow spring is a popular toy that almost everyone had. Get a few pieces and put them in several places.
- Questionnaires are another symbol whose popularity among Russian schoolchildren was just surpassing. Every girl had it, and not one at a time. Their demand lasted until the beginning of the "zero". Get one or more profiles, depending on the number of guests, and invite them to fill out during the party.
- Sega and dandy are important attributes of a 90s-style party. If there are these toys, then do not hesitate, the absence of boredom on it is definitely guaranteed.
90s Party Place
Such an event with a screenplay and contests should be held on a grand scale, since this is, first of all, dancing and unrestrained fun. In clubs, dashing-style discos are currently enjoying unprecedented popularity and are held several times a year.
But such a large room, like a club, is sometimes not easy to rent, so you can hold a party in the following places:
- own apartment is the easiest option;
- an assembly hall or a spacious office, if it is a corporate event;
- school gym - it will be very original to hold such a party for high school;
- restaurant or cafe hall;
- restaurant, but on the open veranda.
Based on the number of invited guests, but if there are not many people, then there is no point in holding such a party. A 90s party should be noisy.
We select the "outfit"
Fashion in the 90s was peculiar, often ridiculous and catchy. It seems that the "starving" after the Union people put on everything they liked and caught their eye. And, surprisingly, some images again become relevant in the modern world.
So what should be the clothes? A party in the style of the 90s implies various options. It can be both awkward combinations, and quite acceptable combinations. For a good example, you can refer to the photos of celebrities of those times, for example, girls from the Combination, Strelka or Spice Girls groups, as well as men's boy bands: Carmen, Technology, Backstreet Boys, etc.
What can girls choose for themselves?
- Bright leggings - a symbol of the past decade. It was a real hit that conquered the female half of humanity. They were combined with tunics, which were 1-2 sizes larger.
- Mini skirts that were fashionable to wear with acid-colored leggings.
- Men's jeans, as well as high waist. They were combined with shirts and blouses.
- Dresses are black or with sequins on thin straps, which are combined with sneakers or massive boots, as well as with the "platform".
- Close-fitting short tops with a mini skirt, bright colors, prints and images of popular stars are possible.
- And makeup. It should be mandatory, and not a modest afternoon or elegant evening, but bright, defiant: rich blush, bright lipstick colors, false eyelashes. Young girls experimented differently with their image and tried to stand out through makeup.
- Hairstyles were also in the spirit of fashion experiments: loose hair with spring inserts that clung to thin strands, high tails secured with large colored elastic bands, and, of course, bouffants and bangs. The latter also violently combed or curled with a curling iron and laid on their side.
For men, the following was relevant:
- Sports suits of wide loose cut were gaining unprecedented popularity. Combined separately a sweatshirt with high-rise jeans.
- They wore jeans jackets or vests over t-shirts with jeans.
- Wide sweaters of undefined colors.
- The black jackets were especially in demand among punks and rockers.
- Famous raspberry-colored jackets for black t-shirts and gold chains. This style was worn by persons involved in crime.
- As for shoes, men mostly wore square-toed shoes, sandals and sneakers.
To create a more fun look, you can wear a thin sports hat, sunglasses.
Pops, electro, acid music
Music for a party in the style of the 90s is an integral part of it. It will not be difficult to pick it up, since the repertoire of those years differs from modern music and songs of the Soviet Union.
Popular artists were:
- "Hands up".
- Carmen
- "Technology".
- "Linda".
- "Paints".
- "On-on."
- Arrows.
- Britney Spears.
- Backstreet Boys.
- Spice Girls.
This is not a complete list of what sounded from "every iron." Music should be varied and not repeated throughout the evening. Accompany her playing with a disco ball, and if the room is large, then two or three. Then you repeat the 90s dance floor.
What to play music on? If there are not many guests, then use a cassette recorder. However, there is a risk of sound defects, especially if the tape recorder is far from "not the first freshness." Surely, many remained musical centers, which were indicators of "steepness." They remained popular in the first decade of the 2000s.
If there are no cassette players, then use modern devices.
We treat you in the style of the 90s
Dancing dancing, and no one canceled the holiday treats. And since the party is held in the style of the 90s, then the food should be appropriate. Of course, in those years, pizza and fast food restaurants began to open in Russia, but this is not something to treat guests at your party.
Do not worry! The menu of that time was very simple and affordable. In addition, the treats will depend on the format of your fun: an apartment event, a yard or a club.
- "Baltika", seeds and fish are a dubious treat, but for easy friendly gatherings - what you need.
- If you want to feed everyone with all your heart, prepare what the people of the 90s always prepared for the holidays. The main menu has been preserved since the USSR: olivier, Mimosa, mashed or boiled potatoes, salted mushrooms, herring under a fur coat. Simple tasty homemade food.
- From alcohol, vodka, beer, cognac, port or tinctures are suitable. Place Coca-Cola or the usual Lemonade, compote or juice on the table.
- From dessert treats, put candies from the factory “Red October” or “Babaevskys”, cake “Napoleon” or “Prague”, ice cream.
Table decoration may be different:
- Cover the table with a white tablecloth or replace them with newspapers. To prevent them from flying off the table, attach them with tape to the table.
- Faceted glasses instead of glasses and glasses.
- Old soviet plates.
Call "People": how to invite guests creatively?
In the 90s, mobile phones, computers and pagers began to penetrate the life of society. It was far from everyone, but nevertheless they were the means of communication. Of course, it’s difficult to find pagers now, but even if it works out, it will be impossible to send a message.
So, how can you invite friends to a party in the style of the 90s?
- Good old letters were still very relevant at that time. Take on the "arms" of this option.
- Send SMS or just call. For the 90s, this option is suitable.
- Send out flyers that inform you about the time, place and reason for the meeting.
What 90s style party scenarios are possible?
Entertainment at the festival is its foundation. Therefore, design a script and party contests in the style of the 90s in advance, based on what young people of that time liked to do.
The script is the theme of your event. For the 90s there are not so many of them, as, for example, for a party in the style of the USSR, but still there is something.
- Arrange a holiday in the style of yard gatherings, where the main attributes were songs with a guitar, as well as a portable tape recorder with your favorite songs. Put on the "sports" and relax.
- Arrange a "star corporate party" by picking up the clothes of a party in the style of the 90s according to the photos of celebrities of those years.
- Let men come in raspberry-colored jackets or suits, and women in dresses. Plunge briefly into the world of racketeering and crime.
Competitions and entertainment
Of course, the main entertainment of the party is a disco for your favorite hits. And do not forget about the "delay."
Spend games that were popular: thimbles, jump ropes, erasers, blindfolds, classics.
Hold a contest for the best result in the game "Tetris" or "Dandy", "who will inflate the biggest bubble from the chewing gum", "who will name more groups and singers of that time."
Play chips, inserts. There was a lot of entertainment.
Finally
A 90s party can't be boring. This time was truly crazy. No boring board games, no tediousness - just movement, just dancing, just excitement!
