Wait a minute... The actual goal is to earn gold on a party? In this case bday?
Cmon. Do what I did.
Easiest and longest (time) social events are - dates.
Second easiest social events are dinners (buy a bar and a radio, put them in the kitchen*!).
You'll earn gold every single time you do them (unless, well, maid comes and throws the perfect food in the trashcan).
Set your sim to do party monster (okay... animal) aspiration.
It's a bit grindy, but you know the drill. When it asks for soc. events, do dates. When it says throw a pary or attend a party, do dinners.
To get gold on dinners, you may leave one task unfulfilled before calling for meal, otherwise it'll be just silver.
All social events you can end before the timer expires (just click on that timer), so when the aspiration says throw a party, just throw it and then end it. Don't waste time on it! Do the whole party only when it states to make it silver or gold.
In no time you'll receive a trait that allows you to skip a few steps in other party types and still earn gold!
To sum it up. In the end you have:
- a trait that earns you gold on any party although you skip a few minitasks not just one
- a crapload of items you earned from gold dates and gold dinners (house/lot inventory, sell for nice cash)
Finally I did all that with a household of two sims. It'd be easier with a household of three sims (one host and two guests on dinners). It's near impossible with a household where only one sim lives. Sims 4 is not ment for soloing.

I created a guide about parties, maybe you can prepare some of the additional goals. The additional goals varies each time you trow a party. http://sims-online.com/sims-4-social-events-throwing-party/
Didn't see this before, sadly... I wish I did when I was struggling with parties. :(
Nice guide nevertheless, thumb up!
