przyjęcie is formal and elegant - a reception.
prywatka is just a house party, but the word is quite outdated, I think it was used in the 1960s and 70s, nobody's using it now. now it's impreza, imprezka, melanż... I don't know what else.

Prywatka (plural prywatki) is not used anymore. Everybody say impreza instead.

Przyjęcia is very formal, and not used so often.

No, they say "domówka" ;-)

That too.. hehe.

I can also mention that domówka means a party in somebodies house.
Impreza can be anywhere (in somebodies house or in a club etc.)

And so it can't be the equivalent of prywatka, which means "private party" (i.e. at someone's place) :-)

Every prywatka is an impreza but not every impreza is a prywatka ;)

Yes, if you read something that is 30 years old.
