'90s Night

This year, our school year wrap up party is a 90's Night theme! We chose it because it's the last year that everyone in youth is born in the '90s! I've already had a few kids ask me how they can possibly dress up for the 1990s... I guess they were too young to remember all of these awesome '90s trends! Hope they help :)
