Disambiguation

I would contest that this page should reside at party. It is hardly the "primary meaning" of the term. The "primary meaning" depends very much on context. If no context is given, the intended meaning may just as well be political party or party (law), or indeed any of the other meanings of the term. --dab (𒁳) 10:12, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

For the after-party subheading, include the following: An after-party is a party held after a formal event, such as another party, a premiere, an awards ceremony, a musical or theatrical performance or after some other event, such as a wedding or a school dance. Guests are usually limited to friends of the host. Gerardkhoo (talk) 07:27, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

  Not done: For brevity's sake, I don't think including more examples of events an after-party could occur is necessary. The distinction between "formal" and "non-formal" events doesn't seem necessary either, since some awards ceremonies may be formal and some may be informal, where to draw the line is unclear.

Religious parties

I think we should remove the section "religious parties". Easter, christmas, Hanukkah, etc are holidays, but not parties. Rayukk (talk) 09:23, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Considering that this article is extremely broad, I'd keep it. Christmas parties are not uncommon at all, Hanukkah, I'm not Jewish so don't know, and Easter seems iffy to me though could the yearly White House lawn Easter event be considered a party? Perhaps.
