Sooo help me answer this argument

[Strictly Jake]

So my 80s and 90s party planning is underway and I have ordered 2 inflatable aliens off ebay but my wife is having a go at me saying not only are they are waste of money they aren't a 90s thing so....

Did anyone else have an inflatable alien in the 90s. I did

[Denver]

I didnt

[Amy Jade]

I mean I was barely alive in the 90's but they had alien themed things definitely and The X Files was huge so...she's wrong!

[LukeB]

Aliens film came out in 1986

[Kate!]

E.T.

[LaLaLand]

Yes!

Inflatable everything - backpacks, coats, furniture, the lot!

[Crimson Dynamo]

Next she will be saying you drink too much and "we never talk". Time to offload

[Strictly Jake]

So it counts for 80s too!

I remember they used to give them as prizes in every funfair in the 90's

Inflatables were all the rage, inflatable furniture and glow in the dark stars etc, lava lamps...

[Withano]

There are more 90s things to buy before you get to inflatable aliens but I do know exactly what you’re referring to.

Well I've had 4 pints but that's a once every 2 months trip to the pub with my uncle I don't get to see much

And I make conversation she just doesn't seem interested...

I know I already can make a lot of it myself but Inflatables I can't make homemade

[Kate!]

4 pints is not much. X

You have done nothing wrong

[Ammi]

...They were definitely a 90s thing so far as I recall...and tamagotchis also...

[Strictly Jake]

In all fairness the argument wasn't over drinks so I'll get back on to topic

What other props etc should I get or make

I'm making giant rubiks cubes out of cardboard boxes

Got a killer playlist

I have iconic tv and film quotes pics celebrities dotted around

I have neon cassette tape bunting glow sticks etc

A pineapple balloon a flamingo balloon, making a giant boombox out of cardboard for the dj equipment

And now 2 aliens hahaha

So anything else...

[Kate!]

Giant rubix cubes sound good.

Are you having a cocktail bar?

[Ammi]

...yo-yos...:laugh:...give each guest a yo-yo and see how skilled they become...

[Niamh.]

Lolo balls

[Kate!]

Lolo balls

What are they Niamh?

[Dogeatdog]

Yes I had one of these inflatable aliens :laugh: I was very young though

[rusticgal]

Sadly my friend has one in the corner of her lovely kitchen...I would love to stick a pin in it but it would break her heart.
Very 80’s though.

The inflatable aliens were definitely a 90s thing. You used to see them in football crowds.

[caprimint]

She's probably worried that you won't just be using them for the party

:suspect:

[Ammi]

(aww thats like the child me and the adult me meeting each other. :joker:)

...well the now adult you would have to go out and replace the lamp and have that expense...:laugh:..so it’s good to be cautious...the other 90s thing I recall was Pogs...I’m sure Pogs might have made a revival in later years as well..?...

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah pogs were definitely a 90s thing

[Beso]

Serve cheeky vimto's
