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!

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...

[Holly Christmas]

4 pints is not much. X

[FaLaLaLand]

Yes!

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

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...

You have done nothing wrong

[Ammi]

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

[Withano]

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

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

[Time to Sleigh]

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...

[Holly Christmas]

Giant rubix cubes sound good.

Are you having a cocktail bar?

...well the now adult you would have to go out and replace the lamp and have that expense.....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..?...
