  • Spin the hits of 1990

    Queue up chart toppers from the year: "Vogue," "Hold On," "Nothing Compares 2 U," "Blaze of Glory" and "It Must Have Been Love." Slip in "Poison" and "Ice Ice Baby" for the dance floor.

  • Guess-the-intro rounds

    Play only the first few notes of each 1990 single and have tables race to name it. Anyone who can finish the chorus earns a bonus point.

  • A Home Alone movie night

    Screen the film on a big wall or sheet, hand out paper cups of popcorn and set up a harmless booby-trap obstacle course with pillows and cushions. The winner gets the title of Kevin McCallister of the night.

  • Reach for the stars

    Their birth year was Hubble's launch, so decorate with a galaxy theme: star garlands, planet balloons and a ceiling of twinkle lights. A printed Hubble photo makes a good backdrop for pictures.

  • Arcade and handheld corner

    Borrow a Game Boy or a Super Nintendo console, or set up tabletop games, and run a friendly high-score tournament with small prizes.

  • A pizza-and-popcorn spread

    Order pizza, pile up bags of microwave popcorn, and serve bagel bites and fruit punch in plastic cups. Finish with a sheet cake covered in star-shaped sprinkles.

  • Come as 1990

    Invite guests to dress for the year: denim jackets, high-top sneakers, windbreakers, scrunchies, or a Ninja Turtle mask.

  • Baby pictures meet the headlines

    Tape up baby photos from 1990 beside headlines about Mandela's release, Hubble and Home Alone. Add current snapshots so guests can match faces across the decades.
