The submitter says this divorce party came complete with “a giant cookie, souvenir glasses and specially-saved leftover wedding champagne.” Well, I can see that! But I have a few thoughts. First, no one is going to keep that souvenir glass. Just like folks didn’t keep the mini plastic jukeboxes my brother gave away in 1991 that said “Mike’s Bar Mitzvah,” no one wants to end a long day of work by drinking out of a friend’s crummy divorce glass (even though that marker will come off after about 400 washes, I once learned).
Second, the cookie cake is an interesting choice here. To me it says, “Screw it. I like cookie cake because it’s delicious, and you can KEEP YOUR STINKIN’ HOUSE BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO LIVE IN IT!” Which, on the one hand is awesome, but on the other seems a bit childish (kind of like the message written on the cake itself).
I guess my point is, if you’re going to throw a divorce party, stay classy. Keep it positive. This is a new chapter. Don’t make a PowerPoint slideshow of you and your ex so that you can point out all the cracks in your failed marriage. Don’t serve delicious cookie cake with an ugly message written in icing. Just move on. No one said getting married was a good idea, mmmkay?
Oh, and I endorse the drinking of leftover wedding champagne. That’s just a given!
