patio party
Backyard social event
A patio party is a casual social gathering held outdoors on a patio or similar backyard space.
The term suggests warm-weather entertaining with food, drinks, and conversation in a relaxed setting: We're throwing a patio party this Saturday.
Less formal than a dinner party, more structured than just having people over.
