5 Reasons Why You Should Throw Yourself a Breakup Dinner Party

It’s standard to host parties to celebrate engagements and marriages; however, when it comes to celebrating the exit from a relationship that is toxic and unhealthy, it is considered taboo. After you’ve cried your tears, boxed up your ex’s things and eaten a good amount of comfort food, it is time to uplift yourself. If you’re up for letting the light in and celebrating after a storm, then there’s no better time than post-breakup. Here are five reasons why you should throw yourself a breakup dinner party.

Embrace Life’s Chaos

Life can be messy. Whether it was in the cards or completely unexpected, a breakup means the end of something you once wanted and hoped for. Throwing yourself a breakup party is about acceptance, which is a key part of the healing process. Acknowledge that your relationship has ended, and there are new opportunities ahead. 

Don’t Isolate

Another great reason to host a breakup party is to connect with friends and to be in community. Isolation is never good for a broken heart. In order to bounce back, spending time with your people is key. Get dressed up, invite your girls over and host an evening of good food, good music and dancing.

Laugh Anyway

Laughter is medicine for a broken heart. Similar to how planning a party to celebrate the end of your relationship might not feel intuitive at first, neither will laughter. Planning a party with your people will re-energize you and fill your space with good vibes and lots of laughter.

Focus on the Good

There’s so much to be grateful for after getting out of a toxic relationship. Although it might hurt, you also will feel waves of relief and release from a situation that was not good for you. Hosting friends to celebrate will help you change your focus and fixate on gratitude. 

Find Something to Celebrate

Throwing a breakup dinner party is about learning to dance in the rain. There’s life after a breakup, and there are good things ahead. New people, opportunities and romance is all possible. Look ahead to the future and celebrate the chance of a new opportunity.
