Divorce parties usually have weird rituals like wedding ring coffins, divorce cakes which often show a bride throwing a groom off a cake and he's lying dead at the bottom of the cake in a pool of his own blood. Women also wear banners and ribbons that say just divorced like a Texas state beauty queen pageant. And according to Wikipedia Las Vegas is the divorce party capital of the world. To a lesser extent there are also divorce parties where the couples are both together and the parties are there to heal the rift between the two marriage partners and their in-laws. But those parties are usually tend to have a more serious and somber tone more like a funeral for the couple and their families. I think having a party to say goodbye to everyone and close the relationship between two families is far more respectful. But I doubt there are many parties of that type. After-all how many men that are getting taken to the cleaners want to have one of those? You'd have to be a Super Mangina to go through with something like that. Divorce parties are mostly for women. There are books like "The Divorce Party" by Laura Dave and Christine Gallagher has a book called "How To Throw a Divorce Party." The idea behind these two books is to make the divorce just another right of passage in a woman's life. And I say woman's life because as most of us know women usually get the custody of the children, the family home and alimony and child support from her former husband. So what better reason to throw a party and start spending her ex husbands money. As I was combing the internet for information about divorce parties you can obviously see that the whole thing is geared towards women. For a man he might decide to celebrate and throw a party once his child support or alimony payments come to an end. For a man an end of alimony party would be similar to a mortgage party once you've paid off your house and no longer have to pay interest back to the bank and you burn a copy of the mortgage papers. In divorce parties women also sometimes burn their marriage contracts as well. There are also specific songs played at divorce parties like "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. And I'm sure she will survive with her ex husbands money in her hands. As well as Hit the Road Jack by Shirley Horn. Throwing a divorce party means a newly divorced woman has to hire a DJ, a cake designer, a place to throw the party and money on food, drinks and party gifts. And entire industry is rising like a phoenix from the lives of financially ruined men. This isn't a party celebrating the freedom of a woman.
