20 Divorce Party Themes To Celebrate The Next Chapter (2024)

Divorce parties are all the rage these days! Instead of making a divorce a mopey affair, people are celebrating it with their best friends, which is a far better way to move on. All you need is the right divorce party theme to get you started. Peerspace is the nation’s leading online marketplace for event venues and ideas, so let us give you a hand at starting this party off right!

1. Ditch the dress party

One of the most popular divorce party themes is to destroy something that holds a lot of symbolic meaning around your former marriage. The wedding dress is one of the best choices; it’s a piece of clothing you only wear once, after all. Imagine how good it will feel to ditch the dress…How you do it is entirely up to you! From bonfires to paint splatters, few divorcees regret making the end final this way!

2. Go on a glamping trip

Maybe you need a few days or weeks to get away from everything as a hard reset for your life. A glamping trip might be just what the doctor ordered! Glamping is like camping except way more comfortable. You could book a yurt in the mountains or a tiny beach house instead of roughing it in a tent. Glamping trips involve hiking, day trips to small towns, working showers, and other fun amenities!

Have you seen some of the glamping venues Peerspace has to offer? How about a private glamping dome in Campo, CA, that has a small kitchen, jacuzzi, and space for up to 10 guests?

3. Blazing new trails

How about a truly unique divorce party theme? Make new trails the theme of the party with a Western-centric event! A Western party can include cowgirl and/or cowboy apparel like denim and bandanas, whiskey-based cocktails, and a playlist of mournful and uplifting country songs.

4. Singles’ night

If you can celebrate marriage then you can certainly celebrate the return to the single life. Bring all of your single friends together for a party that honors their freedom! Celebrate with some breakup music, play some board games, and remember that being divorced doesn’t mean that you’re alone! Not when you have some many good friends to join the party!

5. Have a spa day

What better way is there to de-stress after dealing with a breakup than enjoying a spa day (or week)? A spa day includes everything from wellness smoothies to facial scrubs. Full body massages, saltwater hot tubs, saunas, lounges…The amenities depend on the spa you choose. Spa resorts are the best option if you’d like to head out of town to a nearby beach or mountain town. Or you can make it a resort staycation if there’s an excellent spa a day trip away from home!

Make the most of this suggestion by using these luxe spa party ideas for adults as your inspiration!

6. Host a karaoke night

Karaoke nights are the kind of divorce party theme you choose when you want to forget everything about your recent breakup! The private party room rental, drinks, karaoke machine, and friends you’ll be surrounded by are the perfect antidote for the blues! Karaoke clubs also include open mic and stage venues where you can belt out your favorite tunes to an appreciative audience! Choose songs that celebrate singlehood with a karaoke divorce party!

7. Hire a psychic

Curious about what the next chapter in your life holds? Book a professional psychic to come to the party and see into your future! From tarot card readings to mysticism, there are many ways to tap into the future. No matter the kind of psychic that resonates with you, many will readily show up for divorce parties and other special events.

8. Slumber party

A slumber party is a classic celebration that people of all ages can enjoy! Bring your friends over for a movie, laughter, tears, and hanging out until it’s time for bed. Sleepover parties can be held at home but what if your space isn’t big enough for your friends list?

Think about booking a home through Peerspace! We have venues like a 3-bedroom home in Kansas City, MO, with beautiful natural lighting, nearby coffee shops, and a full kitchen for dinner preparations!

9. Piñata party

Let out some healthy aggression with a piñata party! You’ll have a small, life-like doll that looks like anything you like to take a bat to. Have it filled with candy or other party favors…Or you can simply enjoy the thrill of working out your anger! Looking for a piñata that just so happens to look like a certain someone? Best to order a custom piñata for the occasion! 

10. Have a game night

From Cards Against Humanity to classics like Monopoly, game nights are a fun way to bring friends together! You can talk about the divorce – or anything else – while you roll dice, play cards, and move pieces around. Add some popcorn and other game night snacks for a low-key yet satisfying night with friends.

11. Dance party

Take to the dance floor with this divorce party theme! A dance party is a wonderful chance to cut a rug and forget all of your troubles! Whether that means heading to your local club or reserving a dance party space near you through Peerspace, you’re guaranteed to have a memorable time!

12. Paint and sip party

Express your creativity while sipping wine during a paint-and-sip party! You can hire a master painter to guide the group through the finer points of brushwork while you enjoy your favorite wines. Paint and sip events can also be woven into the other divorce party themes listed here with ease.

13. Plan a movie night

Movie nights are a great way to bring your friends together for an intimate celebration. Don’t just pick any kind of movie. Choose a film that’s uplifting and celebrates someone overcoming adversity and opening a new chapter of life!

A movie night divorce party theme is the perfect chance to book a private screening room so you can make as much noise as you like and bring your favorite snacks! Peerspace has venues like this indie space in Kings County, NY, with theater-style seats, a projector screen, and more!

14. Make a vision board

The end of anything is the beginning of something new. Start building your new dream life by making a vision board! By laying out your goals systemically and creatively, you’re sure to achieve them through constant effort. Each day, you’ll be able to reflect on what’s important to you. Let your friends help during the party by providing magazines for cutouts, music, and entertaining ideas on how to make the vision board a reality.

15. DIY cocktail night

Sometimes the best cure for the blues is a few drinks with your besties! Gather all of the ingredients needed to make your favorite cocktail drinks. Dress up for the occasion and gather your friends around you to rekindle your love of life!

16. Rage room party

Rage rooms (also called smash rooms) are like a piñata party except you get even more choices in things to break! Different rage rooms will have packages that let you choose from common household items like dishes and vases, electronics, or even furniture! You’ll have full safety gear plus axes, bats, and hammers to let out some healthy anger.

17. Survivor-themed party

Looking for a divorce party theme that has more of a literal feel to it? Make the theme the hit reality TV show “Survivor!” You can keep it amusing and uplifting with tropical island decor and food to match! Look up our luau party ideas for tasty tropical treats instead of bugs or wild game…We also have luau party games that are way easier than the challenges the Survivor TV show uses!

18. Brunch party

Get your besties together for a brunch party at a cafe or restaurant near you! Brunch is a great meal to plan for because it includes the best of breakfast and lunch. Plus you can have anything from coffee to mimosas along with it.

19. Cooking classes

Maybe the other half of the relationship was better in the kitchen than you were. In that case, amp up your culinary talents with a cooking class! Learn the basics of seasoning and spice use or take a focused class on homemade pasta making…Whatever it is you most enjoy cooking. Cooking classes aren’t just about learning; you even get to eat what you prepare at the very end with your friends!

20. Have a cleansing ceremony

Get spiritual with a cleansing ceremony that washes away any negative energy in your home and opens up your life to new possibilities. You can have a mystic burn sage in your home, write some prayer that your friends read along, and then enjoy each other’s company in the newly cleansed space!
