Divorce Party

A Divorce Party is a great opportunity start anew. It is defined as a ceremony that celebrates the end of a marriage or civil union. It does not have to be a sad occasion, but an occasion that defines a time in your life that is now over. It is a period of time that was lived by you, with good and bad moments, but it no longer exists. It gives you a chance to start fresh and begin a new chapter in your life with you as the author.

Similar to weddings, divorce parties take on many tenors and serve different purposes. Divorce parties can be done independently by the divorcee or by friends or family who wish to help the divorcee through this phase in their life.

Divorce parties can also be co-hosted by the divorce couple themselves. Many couples can be mature enough to see the union was not the best for them and they part amicably. The parties are aimed at healing the rifts among family and friends that the divorce may cause. The idea is to acknowledge the good, even as the marriage is ending, and to let go of the accompanying anguish. When a couple co-hosts a party, they often celebrate what they’ve shared and ask friends and family for support as they separate from each other.

Divorce parties can be celebrated similar to a bachelor or bachelorette party. It can involve tongue-and-cheek items such as divorce cakes, wedding ring coffins, just-divorced banners, and divorce rings (a notched, or broken, circle). Your cake-topper can be of a dead groom or bride.
