Hello!A "wake" is another name for a funeral, so I think it's OK in this context. In American English, it is OK to say "for the party". I don't know what would be said in BE.

I believe the wake is the viewing of the body before the funeral.

Hello,
Yes, there is a famous Irish song by "the Dubliners" called "Finnegan's wake" where he rises from the dead when he smells whisky being wasted.

Hi everyone,
there's also a play written by Tom Murphy called "The Wake".
Headway.
