Mexican document. I think it means party or banquet, but I'd like to know if it has a specific meaning or whether it can apply to any gathering of a more or less celebratory nature.
It is applied to a christening and a birthday party for a girl.

party
A convivio is a party with food, a get-together. The word is often used to indicate a potluck, although your context, being a christening & birthday party, this seems less likely.
Reference: Been there, done that.

The general sense is a get-together with food. It has an informal, (even impromptu) connotation, so it would not likely indicate a banquet or dinner party, unless the host was using the word \"convivio\" out of modesty, to downplay the nature of the event. The celebration need not be of a momentous event; for example, a class at school might have a convivio to celebrate the end of term---in this example, the use of \"convivio\" definitely suggests a potluck, rather than someone hosting a party.
