In word association games, when asked to associate a word with “divorce,” most people would not choose “celebration.” Filing for divorce is not a reason to celebrate, even though some people choose it as a New Year’s resolution. Between the divorce filing and when the court finally dissolves your marriage, you feel a rollercoaster of emotions, and by the time your divorce is final, you may be in the mood to celebrate. Some of those event planning companies that specialize in Virginia Beach bachelorette parties could probably do good business if they branched out into divorce parties. Most of us feel deflated and only slightly relieved in the days and weeks after our divorce becomes final. Making it through the first year after divorce is something to celebrate, though, whether you conduct actual festivities with guests or just have a normal good day. The first step to a happy divorce anniversary is to contact a Clintwood family law attorney.
Celebrate Your Divorce by Having a Party
If hosting parties is your thing, then having a proper party to celebrate your divorce anniversary is the perfect way to commemorate making it through your first year of being single. Staying out late and dancing or going on a vineyard tour is an excellent way to celebrate if your ex always resented you for being social. If you are eager to make your post-divorce residence feel like home, then invite your friends for dinner and show them that you are a better cook than your ex thinks you are. If you don’t have the cooking ability for a dinner party or the financial means for a catered meal, then just invite your friends over for snacks and board games. By having a divorce anniversary party, you are showing appreciation for the family and friends who have been there for you during and after your divorce.
That is just the party to celebrate the first anniversary of your divorce. In subsequent years, you can invite your ex-spouse and your former in-laws, along with your and your ex’s new partners and their families, and celebrate being your children’s extended family.
Celebrate Your Divorce by Just Having a Normal Day
A year after your divorce, you might want to put the experience of your marriage and divorce behind you. The anniversary of your divorce can be just another day, but it can be the best day possible. It can be the day that you overcome procrastination and update your estate plan or declutter a room in your house. If you are in a new relationship, you can enjoy your time with your new special someone, and your ex-spouse can be the farthest thing from your mind.
