get-together

Casual group meeting

A get-together is an informal social gathering, smaller and more casual than a party: We're having a little get-together Saturday—nothing fancy.

The term emphasizes the coming together of friends or family rather than any formal occasion.

The verb phrase is unhyphenated: Let's get together soon.
