Get-together
Significado: A casual, informal social gathering — smaller and more relaxed than a party.
A get-together is a low-key social event — maybe a few friends at someone's house, a backyard hangout, or a casual dinner. It's deliberately less formal than a 'party' and implies a comfortable, intimate atmosphere. Americans use the word to set expectations — if you're invited to a 'get-together,' you don't need to dress up or bring anything fancy.
