Pinkie Pie's Parties

[ThatAnonymousPony 133]

Pinkie's parties confuse me. She's "all about partying" or whatever, but I just don't get it. I mean, how can you be so into partying when partying is apparently just throwing streamers around and dancing a little. To explain what I'm trying to say, look at this quote from A Canterlot Wedding:

Pinkie Pie: I think this reception is gonna be perfect! Don't you?

(Fake) Princess Cadance: Perfect! ...If we were celebrating a six-year-old's birthday party.

 

I mean, I don't get how the whole town of mostly adults enjoys her parties? I like Pinkie but idk, it's just something I was thinking about, especially when it comes to episodes like Pinkie Pride. Overall, the adult characters basically act like regular adults. I know this is pointless, but I guess I just can't understand why they'd be entertained by Pinkie or Cheese Sandwich for parties, but yet not be entertained by Fluttershy when she had Pinkie's cutie mark/job in Magical Mystery Cure. I mean, is Fluttershy more boring than a six year old's birthday party? I don't know, it's just something I was thinking about.

What @Venomous said. The parties are personalized with things that make the individual happy. Doesn't have to be dancing, streamers, etc, if that's not what the pony likes. Pinkie's ultimate objective is making others smile.
