This is a super cute idea that would be really easy to DIY. I think the best way to secure the CDs to the wall would be either double sided tape or command strips.

A 2000s themed candy bar is the PERFECT snack table idea for a y2k party. You could either go to the store and pick out different candies yourself, or you could get a pack like this! The pack I linked says its “90s candy,” but it’d work for a 2000s party as well because there’s a lot of overlap.

3. Y2K Sunglasses For People To Wear

Some sparkly sunglasses like this would be such a cute party favor for a y2k party. Everyone could grab a pair as they are walking in! This would be really nice to do just in case someone doesn’t have a lot of clothes that match the theme. Then they’d still be included!

When I first saw this picture I thought the butterflies were attached to balloon strings, but then I realized they’re hung separately. I think they used fishing line to attach them to the ceiling. Any kind of butterfly decor is a safe bet for a y2k party.

10. Mean Girls Utensils

This is another idea that is SO clever. I think they probably just printed a picture from online and then attached it to the utensil container.

This has more to do with what to wear than actual party decor, but it would be so cute to do hair tinsel for a y2k party. It would be AMAZING to have a hair tinsel station for guests to do their own.
