I looked ‘party’ in the dictionary and found that ‘party’ can be used with ‘throw’, ‘give’, ‘hold’, ‘have’, and ‘organize’. And then searched COCA Corpus and found that ‘party’ is commonly used with ‘throw’ and ‘have’. So can I conclude that it is commonly acceptable to native speakers if you write ‘throw a party’ or ‘have a party’, and that ‘have a party’ is more informal than ‘throw a party’?
