There should be different types of party, each of which would cause different levels of happiness to colonists based on their personality traits.  Poker tournaments, toga bacchanals, orgies, cuddle puddles, wine and cheese mixers, book reading circles, and jam sessions (for example) should all appeal differently to different people.  Psychopaths would not be happy in cuddle puddles, while ascetics would be rather displeased with bacchanals, but both would probably enjoy poker tournaments.  The type of party being held would be based on the personality of the colonist throwing it.

Party types? It's a really interesting and cool idea.

But i don't think it's something necessary for the game now, not for A16 at least. Maybe a mod would fit properly for now? What do you think?

I agree, that different types of social interactions and recreation make sense. I kinda like the idea of fight pits, tea houses, or gymnasiums because peoples taste in recreation or what brings them joy is much more complex than a party, horse shoe, TV, or drugs.

I love this idea. Could it expand to include parties surrounding the various joy items in the game? Pool tournament, Chess tournament, Horseshoe tournament, viewing party (for a TV show) etc

One of my elder has died, leaving a Wife and three dogs and two Lynx. Also a funeral should be taken in consideration.

There's a beach party mod, which is the coolest thing in the world.

Another party type could be banquets.

How about Republican and Democrat parties? And Independent parties too? Colonists talk to other colonists with the same political views.

This is like being in a remote fishing town in Libera and asking, "Why can't I just pay one of the fishermen $10 to take me back to Los Angeles?"
