gettogethers
Casual group meetings
Gettogethers is the plural of get-together, an informal social gathering.
The hyphenated form is standard, but the solid spelling appears frequently: We host weekly gettogethers for the neighbors.
These are casual affairs—less structured than parties, smaller than events.
