Provide plenty of food and drinks for your hungry guests. You might try hiring a caterer, but preparing the food on your own is another option that allows for creativity. A fun way to incorporate your 1990's Hip Hop theme into the food is to name each special food dish or drink after a 1990's Hip Hop artist, song or TV show. You might accomplish this by calling the fries "Fresh Prince Fries" after the popular hit TV show, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which helped shape Hip Hop culture in the 1990s. Serve a cake shaped like a boom box, which was a popular way to play Hip Hop music back in the 1990s.

Reserve a location at least a few weeks ahead of time to ensure that you'll have the space for the date of the party, if you are not going to host the party at home. Make sure that the place you choose is big enough to accommodate all of your guests and that caterers will not have any trouble getting around, if you decide to have your party catered.

Make and send out invitations to your party once you have a location. Include famous 1990's Hip Hop artists on the invitations, such as Lauryn Hill, LL Cool J and Naughty by Nature. Spell each name correctly and be sure you have everyone's updated address to ensure that invitations reach them in a timely manner.
