A party is a celebratory social occasion that is organized by a host. These involve elements such as conversation, music, dance, games, contests, food, beverages and entertainment. In some cases, a party has a meaning or purpose such as celebrating an aspect of life or milestone. Parties can be traditional or new and inventive.
