NewLife

Of course, Chicago residents know about the long-held traditional parties that we have all celebrated to mark the important milestones in our friends and family members lives, as well as our own. From bachelorette parties to baby showers, graduations to weddings, celebrations of life’s major events give us all a way to connect, acknowledge the achievements or accomplishments of our loved ones, and cut loose. However, a new type of party has recently grown in popularity, and it is one that celebrates one of life’s possibly most unexpected milestones: divorce. Indeed, the divorce party is one that many newly-free-and-single divorcees are opting to throw as a marker of their newfound freedom and the closing of a major chapter in their lives. But are divorce parties a fast and viral trend that is soon to die out, or are they here to stay as another life event to share with family and friends?

Recently-Divorced Woman’s Lavish Divorce Party Goes Viral

One newly-divorced woman’s lavish divorce party hit headlines this week and demonstrates just how the divorce party trend is growing, as well as how important it can be to those who have just finalized the divorce process. According to online news sources, Sabrina Philipp, of the United Kingdom, threw a $30,000 divorce party for 18 members of her family and friends to mark the end of her three-year marriage. Ms. Phillips shot her wedding ring into the ocean by slingshot – a highlight of the divorce party, per Ms. Phillips—and played the song “Goodbye Earl”’ by The Chicks. Of the cathartic and symbolic party, Ms. Phillips noted, “My guests – including my parents – clapped and cheered. I had never felt so relieved and happy. It might have cost $30,000, but my divorce party was worth every cent.” She also added, “As for my wedding ring…a jeweler told me I could have melted it down and gotten $70 for the weight of the metal. ‘That’s not very fun,’ I thought. ‘Do I want $70, or do I want photos and videos of me slingshotting my wedding ring into the ocean?’ The symbolism was everything. I took the slingshot.”
