overcelebrates
Parties too hard
Overcelebrates means to celebrate excessively or disproportionately to the occasion.
Someone might overcelebrate a minor achievement, making it awkward for others: He overcelebrated the routine play like he'd won the championship.
The word often carries a note of criticism—suggesting the celebration was premature, unearned, or simply too much.
