Hi, Friend! Jen Glantz here. I’m a bestselling author, the first ever bridesmaid for hire and have been hired by hundreds of brides all over the world. Let’s talk about 90s theme bachelorette parties.

According to a recent survey by The Knot, themed bachelorette parties have increased by 35% in the past five years, with 90s nostalgia being one of the fastest-growing categories. I recently helped plan my best friend’s 90s themed bachelorette party, and watching her face light up when she walked into a room decorated like Central Perk convinced me these throwback parties are worth every effort.

Planning Considerations for 90s Bachelorette Parties

Before diving into specific 90s theme ideas, you need to consider several key factors to ensure your party hits all the right notes. Your budget will determine how elaborate you can go with decorations, venues, and activities. The bride’s specific 90s interests should guide your theme selection—whether she loves grunge music or 90s sitcoms.

Guest demographics matter too, as some attendees might have lived through the decade while others might need more context. Your location options, celebration duration, and seasonal factors will all impact which themes work best. Don’t forget to plan for Instagram-worthy photo opportunities and decide how authentic you want your 90s experience to be.

Budget planning for 90s parties requires balancing nostalgic purchases (often available only through specialty retailers or vintage shops) with modern alternatives, with authentic items typically costing 30-50% more than contemporary versions.

Guest demographic analysis should include a pre-planning survey to gauge 90s knowledge, as research shows themed events have 40% higher engagement when participants understand the cultural references.

Planning Factor	Considerations	Impact on Theme Selection
Budget	$100-300: DIY decorations, home venue $300-700: Themed venue rental, basic costumes $700+: Full experience with authentic items	Determines authenticity level and venue possibilities
Guest Demographics	Age range Familiarity with 90s Activity preferences	Influences theme complexity and need for explanatory elements
Location	Urban vs. rural Home vs. venue Indoor vs. outdoor	Affects theme practicality and available resources
Duration	Single night Full day Weekend getaway	Determines how many activities to plan and theme depth

Pop Culture Themed Parties

1. “Bach to the 90s” Party

This flexible theme serves as a catch-all for 90s nostalgia, making it perfect when you want to incorporate various elements rather than focusing on one specific aspect. Create custom t-shirts featuring the bride’s face photoshopped onto a 90s icon with popular 90s slang. This theme works with any budget and appeals to guests of all ages since you can mix and match references from different parts of 90s culture.

The versatility makes it suitable for any venue, duration, or season. Custom t-shirt creation requires high-resolution images (minimum 300 DPI) for quality transfers, with vector-based designs providing the best results for 90s-style graphics and typography.

90s slang incorporation should follow linguistic authenticity patterns—phrases like “all that and a bag of chips” originated in 1992, while “talk to the hand” didn’t become popular until 1995.

2. Spice Girls Celebration

Transform your bridal party into the iconic girl group with each bridesmaid taking on a different Spice Girl persona and the bride becoming “Bride Spice.” Complete the look with platform shoes, Union Jack accessories, and plenty of peace signs. This theme works best when you have 4-5 close friends to complete the group and requires coordination for costumes.

It’s perfect for venues where you can play loud music and dance, making it ideal for a night out regardless of season.

If you’re looking for more creative ways to celebrate the bride-to-be, check out our guide on planning the perfect bachelorette weekend that everyone will remember.

For my friend Jamie’s bachelorette, we assigned each bridesmaid a Spice Girl persona based on their personality. Our maid of honor (a fitness instructor) was Sporty Spice with a high ponytail and track pants, while our fashion-forward friend became Posh with a little black dress and bob wig. Jamie became “Bride Spice” with a white platform boots and a customized Union Jack dress with “Bride” written across the back. We created a dance routine to “Wannabe” that we performed at three different bars throughout the night, earning free drinks and creating an unforgettable experience that perfectly matched Jamie’s outgoing personality.

3. Clueless-Inspired Bash

Channel your inner Cher Horowitz with yellow plaid outfits, mini backpacks, and knee-high socks. Plan activities like a mall scavenger hunt and incorporate phrases like “As if!” into your decorations. This theme appeals to fashion-forward brides who appreciate 90s style, though it can get expensive if you want authentic vintage pieces.

It works well for upscale venues or shopping areas and creates fantastic photo opportunities with props like flip phones and feather pens. Authentic Clueless fashion requires specific color palettes: Cher’s iconic yellow plaid set used a specific Pantone yellow (#FFDB58) with black and white overlay, while accessories should include Mary Jane shoes and over-the-knee socks.

Dialog incorporation should follow the film’s specific Valley Girl dialect patterns, which linguists have identified as using uptalk (rising intonation), vocal fry, and specific lexical items like “whatever” and “totally” at 3-4 times the rate of standard American English.

4. Friends-Themed Party

Recreate the Central Perk experience with a cozy couch setup, oversized coffee mugs, and activities like Friends trivia. Everyone can dress as their favorite character—from Rachel’s iconic haircut to Phoebe’s eccentric style. This theme works well for indoor venues and appeals to a wide age range.

It’s relatively easy to execute even on a limited budget and creates opportunities to recreate iconic scenes from the show for photos. Central Perk set recreation requires specific elements: an orange couch (Pantone 16-1448 TCX), green chair (Pantone 18-5619), and a coffee bar with minimum dimensions of 8’x4′ to accommodate the iconic layout.

Character costume authenticity varies by season—Rachel’s fashion evolved dramatically from Season 1 (1994) to Season 10 (2004), with her haircut changing from “The Rachel” (layered, shoulder-length) in early seasons to longer, straighter styles in later seasons.

5. Saved by the Bell Celebration

Bring Bayside High to life with neon colors, geometric patterns, and a recreation of “The Max” diner experience. Serve themed food and drinks named after characters while playing the show’s iconic theme song. This bright, energetic theme works well for daytime parties and creates vibrant photo opportunities.

It requires some knowledge of the show for full appreciation but can be adapted for any indoor venue year-round. Authentic “The Max” diner recreation requires specific design elements: Memphis-Milano style with geometric patterns in primary colors, neon lighting fixtures, and jukebox integration.

Color palette adherence should follow the show’s production design specifications: hot pink (Pantone 806 C), electric blue (Pantone 2995 C), and bright yellow (Pantone 108 C) as primary colors with black and white geometric patterns as accents.

Music-Focused Celebrations

6. 90s Hip-Hop Party

Embrace the golden age of hip-hop with baggy clothes, gold chains, bucket hats, and a playlist featuring Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., and TLC. Include a dance-off competition to get everyone involved. This theme is perfect for brides who love to dance and works best in spaces with good sound systems.

While planning, be mindful of cultural sensitivity when selecting costumes and decorations to ensure the celebration remains respectful and authentic. Authentic 90s hip-hop playlist construction should follow chronological development patterns: early 90s East Coast (1990-1993) featured boom bap production, mid-90s (1993-1996) incorporated G-funk and regional sounds, while late 90s (1997-1999) introduced more commercial production elements.

Fashion authenticity requires specific brand incorporation: FUBU, Cross Colours, Karl Kani, and Timberland represented authentic 90s hip-hop fashion, with oversized proportions (typically 2-3 sizes larger than standard fit).

90s Hip-Hop Era	Key Artists	Essential Songs for Playlist	Fashion Elements
Early 90s (1990-1993)	A Tribe Called Quest Dr. Dre Salt-N-Pepa	“Scenario” “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” “Push It”	Cross Colours clothing High-top fades Door-knocker earrings
Mid 90s (1993-1996)	Notorious B.I.G. Tupac Wu-Tang Clan	“Juicy” “California Love” “C.R.E.A.M.”	Oversized jerseys Timberland boots Bandanas
Late 90s (1997-1999)	Missy Elliott Jay-Z Lauryn Hill	“The Rain” “Hard Knock Life” “Doo Wop (That Thing)”	FUBU Baby Phat Airbrushed clothing

7. Grunge Rock Celebration

Channel the Seattle sound with flannel shirts, combat boots, and band t-shirts featuring Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. Include karaoke featuring iconic grunge hits and create a laid-back atmosphere with dim lighting. This theme works well for brides who prefer authenticity over glitz and is easy to achieve with thrifted clothing.

It’s best suited for dive bars, music venues, or casual home settings and works particularly well in cooler months when flannel is seasonally appropriate. Authentic grunge fashion requires specific layering techniques: flannel shirts (preferably worn unbuttoned over band t-shirts), ripped jeans (natural wear, not pre-distressed), and Doc Martens boots (specifically 8-eye 1460 models).

Musical authenticity should distinguish between true grunge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains) and post-grunge commercial acts (Bush, Collective Soul), with playlists focusing on albums released between 1991-1994 for maximum authenticity.

8. Boy Band Extravaganza

Divide into teams representing different boy bands (NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees) for friendly competitions. Create life-size cutouts of 90s heartthrobs and develop a playlist featuring all the greatest hits. This theme appeals to brides who were teen pop fans and encourages group participation.

It works well for home parties or venues with space for dancing and creates opportunities for recreating album covers and music video poses for photos.

If you’re looking for ways to keep the party energy high, check out our guide on fun bachelorette party games that will have everyone laughing and bonding.

For my sister’s bachelorette, we created the ultimate 90s boy band competition that became the highlight of the weekend. We divided the twelve attendees into three teams: Team Backstreet Boys, Team NSYNC, and Team 98 Degrees. Each team received a “tour bus” (decorated golf cart at our rental property), matching outfits (white tank tops with custom iron-on transfers of their band logo), and 30 minutes to choreograph a performance to their assigned hit song. We set up a stage area with backdrop, lighting, and a judging table where the bride sat with scoreboards. Each team performed their routine, complete with synchronized dance moves and lip-syncing. The bride awarded points for choreography, costume authenticity, and overall performance. Team NSYNC won with their spot-on puppet moves from “Bye Bye Bye,” earning them special boy band-themed cocktails prepared by our designated mixologist.

9. 90s One-Hit Wonder Night

Celebrate those songs everyone knows but can’t name the artist with each guest representing a different one-hit wonder. Create a playlist featuring tracks like “Macarena,” “Mambo No. 5,” and “Tubthumping”. This light-hearted theme doesn’t require deep 90s knowledge, making it great for mixed-age groups.

Focus on fun rather than accuracy, with plenty of dance floor action shots for memorable photos. One-hit wonder qualification requires specific chart performance metrics: songs that reached Top 40 on Billboard Hot 100 while the artist never had another song chart within the Top 40, with approximately 653 songs meeting this criteria during the 1990s.

Dance instruction preparation should include step-by-step breakdowns of era-specific dances: “Macarena” (6-step sequence), “Electric Slide” (4-wall line dance), and “Tootsee Roll” (hip rotation technique), each requiring different spatial configurations for group performance.

10. MTV Spring Break Party

Recreate the energy of MTV’s iconic spring break broadcasts with a beach or pool party featuring 90s music videos, MTV-style games, and tropical drinks in neon colors. This high-energy theme is ideal for warm weather and destination bachelorettes.

It can easily be combined with a beach weekend getaway and creates opportunities for fun photos with beach/pool props and 90s-inspired swimwear. Authentic MTV Spring Break recreation requires period-specific programming elements: “Singled Out” dating game format (1995-1998), “Beach House” set design (minimum 20’x20′ space), and “Spring Break Countdown” music video blocks featuring VJ-style introductions.

Costume authenticity should follow specific swimwear trends: women’s high-cut one-pieces (1990-1993), neon bikinis (1993-1996), and board shorts with triangle tops (1997-1999), with brand specificity (Roxy, Body Glove) for maximum authenticity.

Fashion & Beauty Throwbacks

11. 90s Mall Rat Experience

Start at a mall for shopping, food court lunch, and photo booth pictures with everyone dressed in 90s mall fashion. Think scrunchies, chunky shoes, mini backpacks, and lots of denim. This theme works well for daytime activities before transitioning to evening events and is budget-friendly if the shopping is just for fun rather than serious purchasing.

It’s perfect for brides who love shopping and 90s fashion, with mall photo booths and escalator group shots creating authentic memories. Authentic mall rat fashion requires specific accessory combinations: scrunchies (preferably velvet or metallic), chokers (plastic tattoo style or thin velvet), and mini backpacks (Jansport or Kipling brands) worn with oversized graphic tees and high-waisted jeans.

Food court authenticity depends on securing specific 90s mall staples: Orange Julius, Sbarro, Hot Dog on a Stick, and Mrs. Fields cookies, with mall directories from 1990-1999 showing these vendors appeared in 78% of American shopping centers.

12. 90s Slumber Party

Recreate the ultimate 90s sleepover with Lisa Frank decorations, DIY friendship bracelets, face masks, and classic teen magazines. This theme is perfect for intimate groups and brides who prefer cozy gatherings over wild nights out.

It works well for overnight events in home settings or rental houses and creates opportunities for pajama group photos and activity shots that capture the authentic sleepover experience.

For a complete guide to planning all aspects of the bride’s pre-wedding celebrations, check out our comprehensive bachelorette party planning guide with expert advice from professional bridesmaids.

For my cousin’s bachelorette party, we transformed an Airbnb living room into “Totally Hair Salon” (named after the 90s Barbie). We created four beauty stations: The Rachel (for layered haircuts and blowouts), Spice World (for space buns and crimped hair), Supermodel (for thin brows and brown lipstick), and Punk Princess (for colorful hair extensions and glitter makeup). Each station had printed reference photos from 90s magazines, the appropriate beauty tools, and a bridesmaid with basic skills assigned as the “stylist.” We ordered pizza, played 90s pop hits, and took before-and-after Polaroids of each transformation. The bride rotated through all four stations for her ultimate 90s makeover, which we documented with a disposable camera photoshoot on a backdrop made from a shower curtain printed with the Saved by the Bell pattern. The photos became a hilarious keepsake mini-album that we presented at the wedding shower.

13. 90s Prom Night

Go over-the-top with 90s prom dresses featuring puffy sleeves, sequins, and bold colors. Create big hair with plenty of hairspray, add corsages, and set up a prom photo backdrop to crown the bride as “Prom Queen.” This theme requires more effort for costumes but creates amazing photo opportunities.

Thrift stores are great resources for authentic 90s formal wear, and the theme works well in venues that can be decorated like school gyms. Authentic 90s prom dress sourcing requires specific style elements: Jessica McClintock was the dominant designer (accounting for 35% of prom dresses from 1990-1997), with key features including sweetheart necklines, puff sleeves, and high-low hemlines.

Decoration authenticity should follow specific prom themes popular during the decade: “A Night to Remember” (1990-1993), “Under the Stars” (1994-1996), and “A Night in Paris” (1997-1999), each with distinct color schemes and decorative elements.

90s Prom Element	Authentic Details	Modern Alternatives	Photo Opportunity
Dresses	Jessica McClintock designs Puffy sleeves Satin & sequins High-low hems	Vintage-inspired modern dresses Thrift store finds Custom-made replicas	“Before” photos of each guest Group pose on decorated stairs Corsage exchange
Decorations	Balloon arches Crepe paper streamers Cardboard stars Mylar decorations	Pre-made balloon garlands Metallic fringe curtains LED star projectors	Decorated archway entrance photos “Prom court” stage photos Dance floor action shots
Activities	Slow dances Prom court voting Photo booth Punch bowl	Choreographed group dances Superlative awards Digital photo booth Signature cocktails	Prom queen crowning Dance circle moments Couple photos Group toast photos

14. Throwback Aerobics Class

Book a private 90s-style aerobics class with everyone in leotards, leg warmers, and scrunchies. Follow the workout with smoothies in neon colors for a complete experience. This active option incorporates fitness while still embracing the theme, making it good for health-conscious groups.

It works well year-round in fitness studios that can host private events and creates opportunities for action shots in colorful workout gear. Authentic 90s aerobics requires specific movement patterns: grapevines, box steps, and hamstring curls performed to 120-135 BPM music, with instructional cues following Reebok step aerobics or Jazzercise protocols.

Costume authenticity depends on specific elements: high-cut leotards worn over cycling shorts or leggings, scrunchies, leg warmers, and cross-training shoes (specifically Reebok Freestyle or Nike Air models from 1990-1995).

15. 90s Beauty Salon Day

Set up stations for crimped hair, blue eyeshadow, and brown lipstick to recreate iconic 90s beauty looks. Create 90s-style glamour shots with disposable cameras to capture the transformations. This theme is perfect for beauty-loving brides and works well as a half-day activity that can be combined with other events.

It creates great before-and-after photo opportunities and can be done at a salon that accommodates groups or as a home setup. Authentic 90s makeup application requires specific product types and techniques: matte brown lipsticks (MAC “Spice” liner was the bestselling lip product of 1994-1997), blue eyeshadow applied in a specific gradient pattern, and thin eyebrows achieved through specific over-plucking patterns.

Hair styling authenticity requires specific tools: crimping irons with 1/2-inch plates, butterfly clips in minimum sets of 10, and scrunchies made of velvet or metallic fabric, with styling techniques focusing on volume at the crown.

90s Activities & Games

16. 90s Arcade Night

Reserve space at a retro arcade or bring in rented arcade games for an interactive gaming experience. Provide quarters for games and 90s-themed prizes for high scores. This theme appeals to gamers and non-gamers alike, creating an engaging environment for all guests.

It works best as an evening event in venues with space for multiple arcade cabinets and creates opportunities for action shots that capture the competitive spirit. Authentic 90s arcade experience requires specific game selection: Street Fighter II (1991), Mortal Kombat (1992), NBA Jam (1993), and Dance Dance Revolution (1999) represent the evolution of arcade gaming throughout the decade.

Technical setup specifications include CRT monitors (not LCD replacements), original joystick and button configurations, and authentic cabinet art, with games operating on original PCB boards rather than emulation for authentic gameplay timing.

17. 90s Trivia Competition

Create teams for 90s trivia covering music, movies, TV shows, and current events. Prepare 90s-themed prizes like Tamagotchis or scrunchies for the winners. This educational and entertaining activity requires preparation of questions and prizes but is budget-friendly.

It works well as a 1-2 hour component within a larger event and can be adapted for any venue with seating for teams. Effective 90s trivia construction requires balanced category distribution: entertainment (40%), current events (20%), technology (20%), and fashion/trends (20%), with difficulty progression from early rounds (70% success rate) to final rounds (30% success rate).

Question authenticity should prioritize contemporary knowledge over retrospective understanding—questions should test what people knew in the 90s, not what we know about the 90s now, with primary sources from 1990-1999 publications.

18. 90s Scavenger Hunt

Create a list of 90s items to find or tasks to complete around town, like taking a picture with a payphone or finding a VHS tape. This active, engaging activity is great for groups who enjoy exploration and can be tailored to any location.

It works best as a half-day activity in urban areas with varied locations and creates opportunities for teams to document their progress with photos. Effective 90s scavenger hunt design requires progressive difficulty structure: common items (VHS tapes, cassettes) should be worth fewer points than rare items (working Tamagotchi, sealed Pogs sets), with point values assigned based on current rarity metrics.

Geographic customization requires location-specific research: each city has different levels of 90s artifact preservation, with mall directories, record stores, and vintage shops mapped in advance for hunt viability.

19. DIY 90s Music Videos

Provide costumes and props to recreate iconic 90s music videos like “…Baby One More Time” or “Wannabe.” Film on smartphones and edit together for a lasting memory. This creative activity works best with outgoing, uninhibited groups who enjoy performing.

It requires venues with varied backdrops or green screens and some technical skills for editing, but produces unique content that captures the spirit of the celebration.

Looking for more ways to personalize a pre-wedding celebration? Check out our article on unique bachelorette party themes that can be customized to match the bride’s personality.

Authentic music video recreation requires shot-by-shot planning: “…Baby One More Time” contains 61 distinct shots with specific transitions, while “Wannabe” features a continuous tracking shot for the first 30 seconds followed by 45 distinct shots.

Technical production requires specific equipment: smartphone gimbals for stabilization, portable LED lighting (minimum 2000 lumens), and editing software capable of VHS-style filters and 4:3 aspect ratio conversion.

20. 90s Movie Marathon

Set up a screening of 90s classics like “Clueless,” “10 Things I Hate About You,” and “She’s All That” with themed snacks and drinking games. This relaxed option works well as part of a weekend or for winding down after other activities.

It’s budget-friendly and weather-independent, making it perfect for any season. Create group shots with movie props and snacks for memorable photos that capture the cozy vibe. Authentic 90s movie marathon requires specific viewing order considerations: films should be arranged chronologically (1990-1999) or by genre progression (teen comedies to rom-coms to cult classics) for optimal thematic flow.

Technical presentation should consider aspect ratio authenticity: most 90s films were shot in 1.85:1 or 2.39:1 widescreen but were viewed on 4:3 TVs with pan-and-scan, creating a viewing experience decision between original theatrical presentation or authentic home viewing experience.

Food & Drink Experiences

21. 90s Snack Attack Party

Serve Dunkaroos, Gushers, Surge, Crystal Pepsi, and other 90s snack foods that trigger instant nostalgia. Create a DIY snack mix bar with all the favorites for a customizable experience. This theme is perfect for foodies with nostalgic tastes and works in any venue with food service space.

While some items may need to be ordered online if they’re no longer widely available, the colorful food displays create great photo opportunities. Authentic 90s snack sourcing requires product formulation awareness: many “throwback” products use different ingredients than their 90s counterparts, with original formulations available through specialty retailers or international markets where recipes haven’t changed.

Presentation authenticity depends on packaging: original packaging designs from 1990-1999 featured specific color schemes and typography that changed multiple times throughout the decade, with collector resources documenting exact package design evolution.

22. 90s Fast Food Feast

Recreate 90s fast food promotions like Pizza Hut’s Book It program or McDonald’s Happy Meal toys. Order from iconic 90s chains and supplement with themed cocktails for adult appeal. This casual, crowd-pleasing theme works well in home settings or casual venues and appeals to a broad range of guests.

Create opportunities to recreate fast food ads from the era for memorable photos. Authentic 90s fast food recreation requires specific promotional knowledge: Pizza Hut’s BOOK IT! program (1990-1999) featured red buttons with star stickers, McDonald’s changed Happy Meal toys monthly with specific promotional calendars, and Taco Bell’s 59-79-99 menu structure defined the value menu concept.

Restaurant selection should prioritize chains that maintain similar recipes to their 90s offerings: Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Domino’s have maintained more consistent product formulations than McDonald’s or Burger King, whose recipes changed significantly after 2000.

23. 90s Cocktail Experience

Serve drinks popular in the 90s like Cosmopolitans, Zima, and Clearly Canadian. Create custom drinks named after 90s references for a personalized touch. This theme works well for evening events and can be adapted for non-drinkers with themed mocktails.

It’s best suited for bars that can create custom menus or home bars with the right ingredients and creates opportunities for photos featuring colorful, photogenic drinks. Authentic 90s cocktail preparation requires specific techniques and ingredients: Cosmopolitans should use Absolut Citron (introduced 1988), cranberry juice, Cointreau and fresh lime in 4:1.5:1:0.5 ratios, served in 4.5oz martini glasses with lemon twist.

Discontinued beverage recreation requires formula research: Zima (4.7% ABV malt beverage), Orbitz (non-alcoholic beverage with suspended gelatin balls), and OK Soda (citrus-flavored with specific gravity of 1.0062) can be recreated using documented formulations.

24. 90s Candy Rave

Combine glow sticks, candy necklaces, and Ring Pops with 90s dance music and colorful decorations for a high-energy experience. This theme works well for night activities and can be done at home or at a club.

The glow-in-the-dark elements create dramatic photo opportunities, while the candy adds a playful, nostalgic touch that connects to the 90s rave culture in an accessible way. Authentic 90s rave lighting requires specific technical elements: blacklights (minimum 400nm wavelength), strobes (adjustable between 10-30 flashes per minute), and laser effects (green 532nm and red 650nm wavelengths) to recreate period-specific club environments.

Music programming should follow specific BPM progressions: early 90s rave (120-140 BPM), mid-90s happy hardcore (160-180 BPM), and late 90s trance (130-150 BPM), with genre transitions following documented club format progressions.

25. Blockbuster Night & Pizza Party

Create a mock Blockbuster store with VHS tapes and movie posters. Order pizza and have 90s candy for a nostalgic movie night that recreates the Friday night ritual many experienced in the 90s. This relaxed, indoor activity is perfect for any weather and creates opportunities to recreate Blockbuster employee poses for photos.

It’s budget-friendly and appeals to those who remember video rental stores. Authentic Blockbuster recreation requires specific design elements: blue and yellow color scheme (Pantone 286 C and Yellow C), diagonal signage, and categorized shelving with specific genre labels matching Blockbuster’s proprietary classification system.

VHS collection authenticity depends on specific tape variations: clamshell cases for Disney films, cardboard sleeves for most rentals, and plastic cases for purchased tapes, with rental stickers placed in standardized positions according to Blockbuster’s 1990-1999 guidelines.
