Hey friends! Let’s do something a little different today. Let’s Party Like It’s 1999! Grab your party hats and grab your boombox ipod to play some jams. Did you know the No. 1 song of 1999 was Believe by Cher. Just a little random trivia for ya there!
How about we take a quick stroll down memory lane? In 1999 I was 25 years old and getting ready to graduate from college. I was very single and a work-a-holic. While in college I worked two jobs, so it’s fair to say I like to stay busy.
So, now it’s your turn! How old were you? What were you doing? If you’re one of my younger readers and turning 18 — you might really enjoy reading this post and hearing some of these facts. Many of these have officially made me feel old. Hee-hee.
10+ Fun Facts of 1999
- Waiting for AOL to dial up the internet.
- Listening to music on a cd walkman.
- Paying bills by mail (or in person).
- Worrying about Y2K.
- Listening to messages on an answering machine (I think I still have some of my tapes).
- Taking notes in school from an overhead projector.
- Boom boxes were still used to listen to music.
- Using phone books and the yellow pages was totally normal.
- Blockbuster was the hot spot for renting movies!
- Floppy Discs were how we saved all of our computer files.
I created this Back in 1999 printable for use at a 1999 themed party, or as a fun party favor for those who were born in 1999 (I wish it was me… wink). I’m not a huge themed-party kind of gal, but I would use something like this for a dinner favor. My hubby turns 50 this year, so I think I’ll use something like this at a small intimate dinner.

Looking back, it was a great year. It was a blast pulling all of this together too.
I decided to share another throwback printable with the Party Like It’s 1999 and a boombox as a coloring sheet. Its simplicity is great for all ages too!

Where is all this 1999 themed goodness coming from? Well, some friends of mine at Proctor and Gamble (P&G) are celebrating the 18th birthday of Swiffer and I thought I would join the fun and share some other fun facts about the year and a couple of printables.
That’s right, Swiffer swept the nation by storm in 1999 and I’m not sure my household chores would be the same without this product!
Happy Birthday, Swiffer!
