‘Divorce Parties’ Are Getting More Popular After Marriages End
Divorce Parties are getting more and more popular! What was once viewed as a bad thing is now being celebrated!
Have you heard of Divorce Parties? It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like–a party to celebrate the end of your marriage. I’ve never been married, so I’ve never had the opportunity to have a Divorce Party of my own, but I have seen them out in the wild and they look like they’re an incredible time with a lot of drinking. Divorce Parties seem to show a shift in perspective on getting divorced. It used to be kept quiet because people might judge, pry, or ask too many questions. Now, people are proudly flaunting their divorce with these Divorce Parties. Would you have one after your marriage ended?
‘Divorce Parties’ Are On The Rise After Marriages End
According to WESH, Becky Rietze recently celebrated her new beginnings with a Divorce Party in Orlando, Florida. It featured music, dancing, champagne, and a positive outlook on her future. I think that’s what’s good about Divorce Parties is they help establish optimism at a time where you might be feeling low or hopeless. It’s good to have that extra boost of confidence!
Rietze tells WESH that her life took an unexpected turn after 14 years of marriage and 2 children saying, “Cause I only knew how to be a wife, you kind of lose yourself, and then you become a wife and a mom, and so that was all I knew how to be.” She invited many people who were at her wedding to her Divorce Party it sounds like including her parents.
WESH says there’s been a 22% increase in Divorce Party invitations since 1999 and has been continuing to climb recently. They can be good for your mental health and to celebrate your independence. However, it’s good not to go overboard with the partying about your marriage ending. That might eventually come off as a bad look.
What do you think? Would you host a Divorce Party? Have you already had a Divorce Party of your own? How did you celebrate?
5 Of The Greatest TV Couples Of All-Time
Jim and Pam - The Office
You can’t talk about the greatest TV couples of all-time without talking about Jim and Pam. They brought back the will they won’t they and captured the heart of America before they ended up getting married. Their wedding was one of the best TV has seen, too. So many great moments.

Anybody who has ever been on a break has felt their pain. Things weren’t always great and pretty between the two, but they always came back around. The story was always worth following and they sucked you in. You were always rooting for them to get back together. They’re definitely one of the best TV couples of all-time.
Marshall and Lily - How I Met Your Mother
I loved the show. Were they my favorite? No. Were they the perfect couple? No. However, they proved they love each other through thick and thin. They had fun together. I think that’s important!
Eric and Donna - That 70s Show
Selfishly, I had to include Eric and Donna on the list. Growing up, they were the couple I wanted to be. Their relationship seemed legit. They could count on each other. The two of them were always there for each other. Ah, young love. Sure, Kelso and Jackie were a more entertaining couple, but there was something special about Eric and Donna.
Lucy and Ricky - I Love Lucy
Had to include a throwback. Simply can’t talk about the best TV couples of all-time without talking about Lucy and Ricky. They were nothing short of iconic. Even today they remain iconic. That’s hard to pull off! Their love has lasted over the decades.
