It's arbitrary and subject to selective enforcement. But as a guideline you could say if it's after midnight it's probably a party. And if it's not you let people use their judgment, because guidelines are suggestions enforced via social pressure, not via official penalties.

Still ridiculous.

If you forbid parties after midnight, people will party before midnight (have you been to London?).

If you forbid parties, people will still gather ("you're seriously calling our chess playing night a party?!").

If you want to forbid people gathering, forbid people gathering.
