Pick the Perfect Venue

One of the biggest perks of a silent disco is its versatility. Whether it’s an intimate get-together or a larger celebration, you can host it virtually anywhere without worrying about noise complaints. Choose a venue that reflects the spirit of the 90s:

  • Outdoor Spaces: Turn a garden, field, beach or rooftop into a 90’s vibe with string lights, inflatable furniture, and neon accents.
  • Indoor Venues: Transform a living room, party hall, or even a basement into a 90’s haven with disco balls, lava lamps, and posters of 90’s icons like Britney Spears, Nirvana, or the Spice Girls.

Create a Killer 90’s Playlist

The 90’s delivered a treasure trove of music. Curate a playlist with something for everyone, mixing genres and iconic hits:

  • Pop Anthems: “…Baby One More Time” (Britney Spears), “Wannabe” (Spice Girls)
  • Grunge Favourites: “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (Nirvana), “Everlong” (Foo Fighters)
  • Boy Band Hits: “I Want It That Way” (Backstreet Boys), “Bye Bye Bye” (*NSYNC)
  • Hip-Hop Classics: “California Love” (2Pac feat. Dr. Dre), “No Scrubs” (TLC)
  • Electronic Beats: “Around the World” (Daft Punk), “Music Sounds Better with You” (Stardust)

To amp up the fun, use silent disco headphones with multiple channels so guests can pick their favourite vibe, whether it’s grunge, pop, or party anthems.


Encourage 90’s Fashion Comebacks

The 90’s were all about expressing yourself through bold and eclectic fashion. Encourage guests to go all out with these nostalgic trends:

  • Flannel shirts and Doc Martens: Iconic staples of 90’s grunge culture.
  • Double denim: A true 90’s look, extra points for matching sets!
  • Tracksuits and trainers: Think Adidas three-stripe tracksuits or sporty windbreakers.
  • Plaid skirts and crop tops: Channel Cher from Clueless.
  • Band T-shirts: Nirvana, Green Day, or TLC for a laid-back look.

You can even hold a “Best 90’s Outfit” contest to add some friendly competition!

Deck Out with Nostalgic 90’s Decor

Transform your space into a 90’s time capsule with these decoration ideas:

  • Lighting: Neon signs, lava lamps, and fairy lights set the mood.
  • Props: Scatter CDs, cassette tapes, Game Boys, and Tamagotchis around.
  • Photo Booth: Create a backdrop with blow-up furniture, VHS tapes, and funky props like butterfly clips and fake pagers.
  • Posters: Hang up posters of 90’s movies, shows, and icons like Friends, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Clueless.


Snack Like It’s the 90’s

Keep the energy high with snacks and drinks inspired by the decade:

  • Classic Snacks: Dunkaroos, Pizza Rolls, Pop-Tarts, and Lunchables.
  • Colourful Drinks: Offer Capri Suns, Kool-Aid, or recreate Surge soda.
  • Cocktails and Mocktails: Serve up colourful drinks like Blue Lagoons, Jell-O shots, or Virgin Piña Coladas.

Keep Guests Entertained

A 90’s silent disco party isn’t complete without fun activities to keep everyone engaged. Consider these options:

  • Dance-Offs: Challenge guests to show off their best Macarena moves or Running Man skills.
  • 90’s Trivia: Test knowledge of 90’s TV shows, films, and music.
