Born in 1992: fun facts, prices and a free printable 34th birthday party kit
Turning 34 in 2026? Their birth year runs from the Dream Team to the first text message, and a free printable party kit is waiting below.

How do you throw a 1992-themed 34th birthday party?

Play the hits of 1992
Build the playlist from Cash Box's 1992 year-end chart: "End of the Road," "Baby-Baby-Baby," "Jump," "Under the Bridge," "My Lovin'" and "Achy Breaky Heart." Add "Save the Best for Last" for the slow song.
Name-that-tune rounds
Cue up a few seconds of each 1992 hit and see which table shouts out the title and singer first. Anyone who can sing the following line earns an extra point.
A Dream Team shootout
Set up a mini hoop and run a free-throw contest. Name each team after a member of the 1992 squad, such as Jordan, Johnson, Bird or Barkley.
Open it like Barcelona
The Olympic cauldron was lit with a flaming arrow, so give the guest of honor a grand entrance to music. Then light the cake candles with a flourish, and leave the arrow at home.
A 1992 movie night
Pick a feature from the year: Wayne's World, A League of Their Own or Aladdin. Hand out popcorn boxes and ask guests to vote for the best quote.
Dress code: 1992
Invite guests to come as the year: flannel shirts, high-top sneakers, a Chicago Bulls jersey or a Wayne's World ball cap. Prizes go to the best Dream Team warm-up.
Then-and-now photo wall
Tape baby photos from 1992 next to the year's headlines: Endeavour, the Dream Team and the first text message. Set recent snapshots alongside to show the years in between.
Guess the 1992 price
Write a gallon of gas, a stamp and a dozen eggs on index cards and ask guests to name the 1992 price. Check the prices section above for the real figures.
Send a "Merry Christmas" text
Honor the first text message by asking everyone to send the guest of honor a message at the same moment. Read the best ones aloud during cake.
