Select a Theme for Your Divorce Party

Step1

Decide what you're up for, whether it's a movie marathon, game night, martini tasting, costume party or singles rave. Divorce parties have no rules, so make your own.

Step2

Select a setting for your party. If you've just moved, invite friends to your new home and combine it with a housewarming. If you're in transition, choose a favorite restaurant, or have a beach party. If you need a change of scenery, hit the road for a destination divorce party. Some hotels are beginning to offer divorce party packages.

Step3

Select a theme based on an activity, like relaxation. Indulge in a spa day followed by a girls' night out.

Step4

Base your party on a movie, television show or song title, or broaden your theme to include several divorce-related movies and songs. Create a "divorce mix" of break-up songs like "I Will Survive" and "Hit the Road Jack," and play a continuous loop of movies from "The First Wives Club" to "The Break-up."

Step5

Have a martini or wine-tasting party.

Step6

Base your party on things you'd like to do in the future, like travel, or choose any festive theme. There are many websites that have an extensive list of party ideas (see Resources below).
