I personally believe in the power of ritual and traditions and in my opinion divorce rituals are as important as any other. Ritual and ceremony allows us to levitate the bitterness and ugliness of our breakup or divorce into something more tangible that we can deal with in only a way that we see fit as a process to begin healing and give it all an official ending with the prospect and excitement of a new beginning as its finally. That belief is how www.justsayitwithcards.com got started and of course the first thing you need are Divorce Party Invitations!
Here is what I believe. A divorce party should incorporate a multitude of aspects that evoke emotion or release of emotion or pleasure or comfort and support. These could be sound, such as music or movies, setting, such as a favorite place like the beach or mountains or even your home. It includes supplies, such as food and drink, decorations, burning something or burying something from the past.
I remember when I went through my divorce that a friend of mine brought a voo doo doll that she made and named after my ex. She passed the doll and a box of straight pins around to all my friends and they got to put a straight pin into the doll wherever they saw fit. It was a fun way to express anger and to laugh and get over it.
Friends are another element in the ritual as they will listen, understand, encourage and support you as you move into this new dimension and opportunity in your life. Lastly, you might even want to incorporate your faith into your ritual no matter what faith that may be but just like you may have started your marriage with the lighting of 2 candles at the alter you might want to do the same or something else to signify the end of your marriage.
The key here is that it can be very helpful for people to have a Divorce Party. Incorporate what you want to incorporate into it but make it something that signifies that this party is not only the end but also the beginning.
Take care,
Sandy
