after parties
Celebrations following celebrations
After parties are gatherings that follow a main event—concerts, weddings, award shows, or club nights.
They're typically smaller, more exclusive, and run later into the night than the primary occasion.
The term suggests continued celebration with a select group: The real fun happened at the after party.
Also spelled as one word: afterparties.
