party

an organization to gain political power

"in 1992 Perot tried to organize a third party at the national level" a group of people gathered together for pleasure

"she joined the party after dinner" a band of people associated temporarily in some activity

"they organized a party to search for food"

"the company of cooks walked into the kitchen" an occasion on which people can assemble for social interaction and entertainment

"he planned a party to celebrate Bastille Day" a person involved in legal proceedings

"the party of the first part" have or participate in a party

"The students were partying all night before the exam"

alternateuses ----A party is a social gathering intended primarily for celebration (party)celebration and recreation. While having some things in common with religious and seasonal festivals, the term "party" usually denotes a smaller gathering for a personal, rather than cultural, occasion even when the occasion is simply that of enjoyment. Reasons for parties, and the style in which they are held, are as diverse as the activities which people find enjoyable. Some are held to mark a particular joyous occasion, such as a birthday, wedding, or coming of age. Such parties are usually associated with family and close friends. A holiday often provides the pretext for smaller parties as well as broader festival activities. Some parties, such as the traditional English tea party or the modern cocktail party, are social gatherings within a fairly formal, or at least stylized, atmosphere. At the other end of the spectrum are such events as the rave party, which are generally counter-cultural in nature and tend to challenge concepts of what is "proper."Some varieties of party stress a particular form of entertainment, such as the ''bridge party'', which is focused around the card game of Contract bridgebridge, the ''pool party'', usually an outdoor affair centered on a swimming pool, or the ''costume party'', an offshoot of the masquerade ball, where the costumes of the participants provide the theme for the event. Parties provide numerous opportunities for social interaction of various kinds, depending on the participants and their understanding of the accepted behavior for a given occasion. As a result, they tend to reinforce cultural and/or counter-cultural standards, though sometimes this is simply by providing a semi-acceptable social context for violating some of those standards. Some examples of this would be parties for singles (people who are unmarried) and the Bachelor party or the Bachelorette party, a final celebration of a man or woman, respectively, before marriage.

I've Never...? The Game of Truth
Game Details: I've Never... The Game of Truth is an outrageous and exciting party game where the object of the game is to ultimately reveal what you really have or have not done? This game will keep you on your toes as you and your friends land on the various drinking activities on the board. You may have to take drinks, give drinks, dance, sing, spin in a circle, etc. Takes maybe an hour or two to play. Rules: The players move around the board by answering “I've Never” questions. When a player lands on “Draw an I've Never Card,” that player draws a card from the pile and reads the question aloud. Sample Question: Q. I've never had sex outdoors? If True: Move forward 1 space. If Not True: Spin 5 times in a circle and take a drink!
