Divorce Parties & Breakup Cakes

Products to Help You Get over Betrayals and Cheating Lovers

Feb 9, 2008

Products for the newly divorced, such as breakup cakes and wedding ring coffins, can be a healthy part of the healing process. Here's what they are and how they help.

Divorce parties and breakup cakes can help you get over a betrayal and bad ending of your relationship. Newly divorced people are often bitter, enraged, or sad. Newly divorced people may blame a third party, such as the colleague who had an affair with the husband (that cheating lover!).

That’s why many newly divorced people are hosting divorced parties and ordering breakup cakes, such as the upside-down wedding cake from Sprinkles Custom Cakes in Florida (this divorce cake features the bride at the top of the cake and the groom at the bottom, as if the cake had crashed down on him or her. Of course the cake can be made with the groom at the top and the bride crushed below).

Business products and services that celebrate the death of marriage are becoming more popular, both online and in various cities.

Websites and Products that Help People Heal from Betrayals and Cheating Lovers

Smashingkatie.com ("a perfectly cheeky breakup boutique") is a website for newly divorced people – particularly those who were betrayed by cheating lovers. Breakup care packages, boyfriend replacement massages sets, and healing mugs are part of smashingkatie.com’s arsenal of gifts to help people heal from betrayals. This business was created by a newly divorced woman who experienced a “Katie” (the other woman, who her husband cheated with).

“So whether it is a cheating lover, a lying friend, a betraying neighbor, or an unsupportive confidant, let your Katie motivate you to harness that pain and in turn transform you into who you will become – inspired, heal, and whole again,” say the founders of smashingkatie.com.

Other breakup products include coffins for wedding rings, knife holders in the shape of the cheating lover, and voodoo dolls.

Do Divorce Parties and Breakup Cakes Help You Get over Betrayal?

Divorce parties and breakup cakes can help you heal when you’re newly divorced. Celebrating the death of marriage can be therapeutic and cathartic because it gives you the chance to laugh, cry, and say good-bye. A divorce party can offer support and hope for the future.

However, it’s important to remember that getting over a cheating lover is a process that can take months or years. A divorce party or breakup cake won’t automatically heal your heart and prepare you to trust again. Sticking your knives in a cheating lover knife holder can prolong bitterness, anger, and pain – and it can repeatedly remind you how you were betrayed.

To heal from a divorce or bad breakup, give yourself time. You'll learn to love and trust again, and you'll remember the past without bitterness or anger.
