Divorce Parties Are Now Trending, But Here’s Why They’re Damaging To Society
Women are proudly popping the cork on champagne bottles, filming their girl gang’s vindictive escapades, and burning expensive wedding dresses to decrease the stigma and shame around their divorces. However, this celebration of divorce through the viral “divorce party” trend feels much more like a glorification of failure.
The “big day” is certainly cause for celebration. Itemize the bill for a standard American wedding, and on average, you’ll see couples spending $30,000 once they’ve added up the venue, dress, ring, photographer(s) and videographer(s), florist(s), live musicians, rehearsal dinner, reception dinner, reception DJ, wedding planner, wedding cake, invitations, hair and makeup, and more. Oh, and don’t forget the pre-wedding bachelorette and bachelor party shenanigans!
