It's in the works....

Once the ink has dried, I am throwing a divorce party! My friends are working on the music as we speak. I'm amicably separated but still....it's my newfound freedom. Out with the old life and onto the next chapter. No trash talking, no silly games....just some old-fashioned drinks with the friends who have been by my side through it all.

Cheers!

Not always

I don't think it's always about getting rid of the ex. Sometimes you just want to celebrate your new found freedom and the fact that you can feel comfortable in your own environment again.

Free at last

Yes I celebrated. Yes I partied. I think it is the right thing to do.
Of course, I don't have kids and am only 29. So I was just thrilled to be free again.

it seems to make strippers feel good. Why should we? lol.
Kidding, obviously, but really, I love the idea of leaning towards the positive and fun rather than falling back into the bad.

Why not

celebrate the end of it. Yes of course you're going to feel depressed and abandoned depending on the situation, and there is no escaping the sudden gap or void in your life, but what's wrong with having a little fun in the middle of all that misery. It may even help lift you out of it...

Pin the Tail on the EX!

I love it. What an original idea, and so well needed. If I could have found a fun party after my divorce ... mope mope

Party On!

Since divorce obviously is here to stay, it would strange if there weren’t entrepreneurs ready, willing and able to make the most of a bad situation. How? By tapping into the latest trend: divorce parties.

While some women have issues with “celebrating” the end of a marriage, others are eager to throw themselves a giant hoohah once the final papers are signed. There are, believe or not, gift registries and party planners available for the newly divorced.

There are also Web sites, like plumparty.com, at which to purchase the appropriate party decorations and accessories. How about paper plates that say “No men! Amen!”? And what’s a party without music? Customized playlists invariably begin with the immortal Donna Summer’s “I Will Survive.”

Divorce even has its own variation on traditional party games: Care to play “Throw the Ring in the Toilet” or “Pin the Tail on the Ex”? And this may be taking it too far, but for the very bitter ex-spouse, consider gifting her with a voodoo doll.
