Choose a symbol or act of symbolism from your marriage or wedding and perform it in reverse with a few close friends or a large group. You might ask everyone to wear black, jump the broom the opposite way, glue the pieces of a broken glass back together, or give yourself a ring to wear in an epic self-proposal.
Spa Pampering Party

You can do facials and pedicures at home with your best girlfriends or gather up the guys for a sauna session. Choose spa services for the party that will make you feel stress free and renewed.
Bachelor or Bachelorette Party Take 2
Instead of celebrating your last night as a single person, celebrate your first night as a single person again. Plan a bachelor party or bachelorette party just like the one you had before you got married, only plan it on the night you find out your divorce is finalized.
Marriage Funeral
While a marriage funeral doesn't sound super uplifting, it can help you grieve the loss of your marriage and move on with your life.
- You can host the party at an actual funeral home or just set up some chairs in your living room.
- Where a casket would go, place a few mementos from your wedding.
- Ask friends to make empowering speeches about your decision.
- You can bury the wedding mementos in a box in the back of a closet.
Smash Session Party

Escape the Marriage Escape Room Party
Create a fun escape room or hire a company to do it for you that has an "escape the marriage" theme. Grab about three of your best friends to join you. You'll have fun bonding as you solve puzzles to help you escape.
Redecorating Party
If you're staying in the home you shared with your spouse, a redecorating party can make the space feel new and more like your own.

Order pizzas or Chinese takeout to serve your helpers as you all spend the day making your house feel like your new home.
Pick Up the Pieces Puzzle Party
If you're not keen on a big party, have a few friends over to put together a puzzle. Choose a puzzle that represents what you want for your future or features an image that makes you smile. As you put together all the pieces of the puzzle, think about how you're not broken by the divorce and will form a new picture of your life.
Campout Party
Getting through a tough marriage and a tough divorce usually takes a group of people who form your support system. Celebrate your pals with a camping trip together. You can pitch a tent in the backyard, go glamping, or sleep under the stars in the woods. Bring some drinks and make some toasts to each of the people who helped you on your divorce journey.
