==Very American?==

I hate to be rude but the descriptions here are very...American? For example, if one is invited to a dinner party in Europe and the UK, it's often a dinner and alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks, and/or a party during which a communal semi-formal friendly meal will usually be served at a set table or eaten together in a communal area. The only formality is that it'd be rude to roll up wearing a tracksuit. Suits and dresses are not necessary. Turning up in jeans, depending on the friend, is okay. Dinner parties in Europe tend towards the informal. One brings a bottle, turns up in jeans if one wishes and if it is possible and sits at a set table with the host, usually for three or four courses, sharing laughter, jokes, food and anecdotes. This is rarely a formal event. Inviting a friend to a 'dinner party', then expecting them to stand and only feeding them little snacks is usually seen as the height of hostility, formality and uncouthness. Conversely 'neighbourhood' and festival parties might be closer to this idea of 'dinner parties', but it's very not much the same here. A set meal may be provided - it is rare but not unheard of - and whilst it may be more of a 'standing' arrangement, friends and neighbours are the usual guests. These being people you know, once again, formality is not huge.

In general the whole topic seems Americanised and ethnocentric. Can we have some European/Asian/African input on the topic? This reader is European and the whole topic seems alian because of the ethnocentricity. In European towns and villages, such a party format as described is a little…odd. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 00:09, 12 August 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: Not rude at all. I'm sure input from other cultures would be welcome. To my Australian eyes it generally looks reasonable. I'd love to contribute to an de-Americanisation (as I'm sure American editors would), but it's not clear to me where culture differences lie. Please, international editors, contribute! ] (]) 02:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

:: A good start would be to add a diverse (across both space and time) set of images in the article. For example:

==Diversity of styles and cultures blending together in America==
Good diversity of ideas. Good article. I agree with much of the above and more: American Freedom allows people to be themselves and feel liberated at any party or event. As an immigrant in the USA, I've been to all kinds of events and parties. Eventually, all diversity will be reflected in wiki.] (]) 01:13, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

A "sundown party," also called a "sundowner party," is a social gathering typically held around sunset, where people enjoy drinks, light snacks, and music while admiring the view, often at a scenic location, with a relaxed and casual atmosphere; essentially a party that starts in the late afternoon as the sun is setting down. ] (]) 02:47, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
