Divorce Parties: Amicable Partings Are 'In'

Why Are Divorce Parties So Trendy?

We all know about fairytale weddings.

But what about fairytale divorces?

Jack White (of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather) and his model/musician wife Karen Elson have characteristically opted to end their marriage with a bang, as opposed to a whimper.

According to a recent statement released by their rep, the pair announced their amicable divorce while concurrently announcing an event marking the end of their six-year-long marriage.

"In honor of that time shared, we are throwing a divorce party," reads the statement. "An evening together in Nashville to re-affirm our friendship and celebrate the past and future with close friends and family." Invitations described the party as , "a positive swing bang hum dinger" with "dancing, photos, memories and drinks with alcohol in them."
