It's true that in most cases, divorce is a time filled with many emotions such as anger, hurt feelings, remorse, guilt, and sadness. But many times, a great sense of relief is also experienced, and a divorce party can be an excellent way of celebrating the end of a bad situation, and starting the next chapter of life on a positive note.
Some of the basic supplies you will need for the party are:
- Invitations
- Decorations
- Food and drink
- Entertainment
- Party games
- Party favors
The first steps to take when planning a divorce party are to decide on a date, time, location, and whom to invite. If it's your own party, of course you'll know who you'd most like to be there, usually those people who made it a point to stand by you during rough times, and anyone who may mean a lot to you in general. When throwing a friend's party, ask friends and relatives for their help when assembling the guest list so you're sure to include everyone.
After settling on the day and location for the party, it's time to decide on the invitations. You can either buy pre-made invitations or be extra creative and make your own personalized invites at home with your computer and printer. Depending on the general theme of the party, which should always be fun and festive, the invitations should clearly indicate that while this is a time to celebrate the end of the marriage, it's also time to stay focused on the future rather than the past.
One of the best aspects of a divorce party is that there are no "rules" to follow or specific traditions that must take place. Ask the guest of honor his or her opinion as to what type of party they'd like, whether it be a small affair with a few friends and family, or an elaborate celebration with co-workers, neighbors, and extended family members. Also ask if there may be a particular theme they'd like or if there are any particulars the party hosts should be aware of before starting to plan.
Some of other great reasons for throwing yourself, or someone you love, a divorce party include:
- A party is a good time for the newly divorced to thank everyone who may have offered their comfort and understanding during the trying process of separation and divorce.
- A celebratory event such as a divorce party is a good way to mark the end of a bad relationship with happiness and well wishes. Now's also the time to announce your singlehood and intentions to experience the next new and exciting phase of your life.
- A divorce party is the perfect opportunity to laugh, cry, or whatever it is makes you feel best in the company of those who have your best interests at heart.
- A divorce party is a good way to remind the newly divorced that they were a whole person before their marriage, and will continue to be one afterward. If it's your own party, the day should be seen as a cathartic way of adding closure to the divorce.
