Sometimes you're just happy it's over. Divorce parties are the fun new thing people are throwing once they ditch the ring. Imagine a bachelorette or bachelor party where you don't have to be on your best behavior and you're not worried about your fiance being on theirs either.
They're fun, they're liberating, and frankly, they're much needed after everything you've been through. Here are just a few ways people are getting down after getting an annulment.
They're Not A New Thing
We've long since cracked the code that we need a good time to get over a hard time. So it makes so much sense that celebrities and people have been throwing these bashes and sending the positive vibes out into the universe while letting go of the negative ones. Or in this case, negative people.
Back in 2006, Shanna Moakler, former Dancing With The Stars contestant, made waves when she threw her own. When Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker divorced Moakler, she threw a party at the Bellagio complete with a 3-tier cake topped by a little knife-wielding bride.
The Stag and Doe You Wish You Had
Divorce parties - they're basically the anti-bachelorette parties of your dreams. The best part is, you don't have to get married again to throw them.
Like @mjones111284 on Instagram, you can get really festive when you celebrate your new life to the fullest. Pop champagne, buy party favors, and wear fun theme t-shirts. It's the best way to put some light on a typically dark situation and rewrite your life the way you want to. Just don't forget the Chippendales reservation.
You Can Wear The Dress One More Time
Weddings are expensive and it can feel rough dropping thousands of dollars on a dress you're only going to wear once. Follow Nicole Niesner's lead and throw a party for you and all your girlfriends where you can finally don the dress again.
Niesner is now living her best life with the people she loves. As Niesner sagely puts, "divorce is hard. But I'm so fortunate to have so many people in my life that love me, want what’s best for me and stick by me no matter what."
Celebrate The Good People In Your Life
Julia Frug and Sarah Kralowski are two best friends who found out at the same time that their long-time husbands had both been having affairs. After months of trying to make it work, they both called it quits.
The pair started @itsonlyadress Instagram where they post pictures celebrating their friendship, dresses, mutual love of white wine, and women empowerment. I can't decide whether these two are more #friendshipgoals, #divorcegoals, or #lifegoals. Someone help.
Hollywood Loves Them Too
We make movies out of divorce party plotlines - that's just how awesome they truly are. The Divorce Party came out in 2019 and that's it, that's the whole premise. A guy throws a shindig to celebrate the start of his new life after a bad break.
If Hollywood thinks they're important enough to have on the big screen then so do I. It's a great way to bookend an experience that might not have been so great, and throw out some positive vibes for whatever life has in store for you next.
