Re: Need a word for "Party"
Hola!!!
Welcome!!! And congrats on your first post!!!
Regarding your question, I think "fiesta" is not incorrect... You could also say you are having a "fiesta de bienvenida" for your friends...
That's one option... Let's see what other people say...
Saludos!!!
Re: Need a word for "Party"
Perhaps you could use the word "reunión", it's something like gathering or "get-together"... That's the only other alternative I can think of! Hope it helps!
Re: Need a word for "Party"
Hola Gise!!!
Si, creo que reunión también es una opción correcta... De hecho, "fiesta de bienvenida" es mas formal, no?? Y reunion, mas informal...
Dos opciones posibles!!!!! MommaLou, it's your choice!!!!!
Alguna mas se les ocurre????
Re: Need a word for "Party"
Hola! a mi me suena más formal reunión de bienvenida que fiesta... que piensa el resto?
Re: Need a word for "Party"
Si, pero creo que "fiesta" le resulta demasiado informal... Habria que encontrar un termino intermedio para lo que quiere decir... Creo yo! =)
Re: Need a word for "Party"
fiesta de bienvenida, it´s more like a collocation too, and it´s not either too formal or informal...
Re: Need a word for "Party"
Thanks, AnaLaura!!!! I think they are all valid options.. It depends on the context and where she would like to use it or write it, right??
Re: Need a word for "Party"
I'd use just "reunión". The other options are either too formal and "fiesta" does not convey the exact meaning
Re: Need a word for "Party"
I think that you can translate it as "fiesta de bienvenida" and it would sound perfect. :-)

Thank you so much--your suggestion summed it up so nicely! That's perfect. I think that's what others suggested but most of the suggestions were in Spanish, so I wasn't too clear on what to use--though I did learn a bit of Spanish along the way! ....Gracias!

paulad--Thank you! After reading back through all the terrific replies I received, I see you too, clearly suggested "fiesta de bienvenida", which sounds good to me and I think non-Spanish speaking guests would understand. I loved receiving all these posts...Spanish is beautiful and its been fun trying to read them. I will show my Colombia guests all the suggestions.
