private party
Invitation-only celebration
A private party is a person or entity acting in a non-governmental capacity, as opposed to a public official or government body.
The term appears frequently in legal contexts: The lawsuit was between two private parties.
It also refers to social gatherings that aren't open to the public—invited guests only: The restaurant was closed for a private party.
