Hello, teachers!!
Have you decided where we will hold the birthday party for Jane?
may I say,
"make the birthday party"
"open the birthday party"
"take the birthday party"
"open the birthday party"
"do the birthday party"
"have the birthday party"
"organize the birthday party"
"host the birthday party"
"play the birthday party"
"convene the birthday party"?
Thank you in advance. |

"make the birthday party" NO
"open the birthday party" NO
"take the birthday party" NO
"open the birthday party" NO
"do the birthday party" OK IN CASUAL CONVERSATION
"have the birthday party" OK, SAME AS "HOLD"
"organize the birthday party" NO, NOT TO MEAN "HOLD / HAVE"
"host the birthday party" YES
"play the birthday party" NO
"convene the birthday party" OK BUT SOUNDS TOO STUFFY
