Go Big on Presentation

I’ve given you a big list of 90s and 90s adjacent foods to choose from.

Want to go one step further and make sure your tablescape is so 90s that it couldn’t BE more ’90s?!

Use bright, neon colours and bold patterns in your decor to capture the ’90s vibe. Think funky shapes, old CDs as coasters, and geometric designs to add a pop of fun.

You could even set up a Pop-Tart decorating station where party guests can decorate their Tarts with icing, sprinkles and assorted other toppings!
