90s Music

You will want the 90s music flowing all night long during your 90s party, so load up on the top hits from the 90s. It s best to keep it up beat.. While you might have been a big fan of Michael Bolton, that is not really the kind of rocking music that will get a party going. That does not mean just playing the club dance music from the likes of CC & The Music Factory, Haddaway or Real McCoy. The 90s was all about R&B music (and Rap music if you are into Hip Hop), so make sure and play plenty of Bell Biv Devoe, Janet Jackson, Montell Jordan, Salt-N-Pepa, etc.. You will also want to throw in some Pop (Ace of Base, Spice Girls, N' SYNC, etc..) and Alternative (Third Eye Blind, Blues Traveler, etc..). Don't forget that Pop Metal was still going strong in the very early 90s. Songs by Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and Guns N Roses are always great late night choices to get the party revved up. Check out the 90s Video Channels on this web site for music ideas .

You could also get one of the compilation albums on the right for a great mixture of 90s party music.

Some Popular 90s Party Songs:

Another great way to make sure the 90s music never stops is to use a streaming music service like Napster. For one low price, you get all the 90s music you want streamed over the internet. This is great for handling requests at your 90s party, as you have a music catalog of over seven million songs at your disposal.

Closing Time by Semisonic is always the perfect song to end your party with.

90s Props, 90s Decorations, and 90s Party Favors

You will want to make people feel like they are in the 90s at your party, so you will need party decorations and props from the 90s scattered around the room. Good props include anything involving rap music such as the Disc Jockey Standee from ShindigZ shown at the right. Beavis and Butt-Head, Double Dare, Doug, and other popular 90s kids shows make for great decoration possibilities. Good party favors would be candy popular from the 90s (Bubbaloo Liquid-filled Bubble Gum , Candy Blox, Warheads,etc..). You can find these at the Old Time Candy Company. These zubaz looking candy bars from ShindigZ have a definite 90s vibe and can be personalized by you to fit your party.

You will also want to decorate the room(s) your 90s party will take place in. You can find 90s party decorations at your local party store or online at a place like ShindigZ ( for free shipping on orders over $85 use code VSCJ2R ). Also make sure and put up plenty of 90s Posters. You can find all kinds of 90s Posters at The Great 90s Store .

Other 90s Party must haves are cardboard cutout stand ups of your favorite 90s characters. Some available include Mike Myers as Austin Powers, Fabio, Bill Clinton, Jurassic Park, and The Power Rangers.
