lawn party
Outdoor social event
A lawn party is an outdoor social gathering held on a grass lawn, typically at a private residence or estate.
The term evokes a certain formality—guests mingling on manicured grounds, perhaps with refreshments served: The governor hosted a lawn party for campaign donors.
Garden party is a near synonym, though lawn party emphasizes the grassy setting.
