  • Play the hits of 1999

    Fill the playlist from Billboard's year-end chart: "Believe," "No Scrubs," "...Baby One More Time," "Genie in a Bottle," "Livin' la Vida Loca," "I Want It That Way" and "All Star." Save "Smooth" for the dance floor.

  • Name-that-tune rounds

    Play the first few seconds of a 1999 hit and have each table write the title and the singer. Whoever finishes the chorus earns a bonus point.

  • Best Picture ballot night

    Hand out ballots with the year's nominees: American Beauty, The Cider House Rules, The Green Mile, The Insider and The Sixth Sense. Tally the votes after dessert and compare with the real winner.

  • A millennium countdown

    Their birth year was the last one that began with 19, so give the party a countdown theme. Hang a big clock, run a ten-second countdown at the cake and cheer when it hits zero.

  • Then-and-now photo wall

    Pin baby pictures from 1999 beside the year's headlines: the euro, the Rose Bowl World Cup and the shuttle flown by Eileen Collins. Add recent snapshots to show the years in between.
