divorce party etiquette?

meatpiemum asked:


What is the etiquette for a divorce party? I am invited to one by a dear friend who is in her late 50s. The divorce was terribly painful.

I don’t know if I am supposed to bring a gift, a card and, if so, what is suitable? Something wishing her well in this new phase of her life?

I searched yahoo answers and found suggestions for games, dirty jokes, etc., but that’s not my style at all, or hers. I am saddened by her divorce; I have known them both for a long time and was at their wedding. I guess I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
