Default Difference between "hoopla" and "party"

Dear teachers here,

Is "hoopla" an extreme exciting party or something?
I am not quite sure where to use this word.

thanks :D

More specifically, like what's the difference of a "birthday hoopla" and a "birthday party"?

thanks

I think the word hoopla brings in an element of something sensational, very festive and done with a lot of commotion, exaggeration or even publicity.

common synonyms:

ballyhoo, hype.

so the way I see it, a birthday hoopla is a birthday with a real kick to it.
