Best Answer
I can't imagine a situation in which you would say someone is going for a party. In English we invariably say that we're (or someone's) going to a party. There might be unique circumstances in which you'd use that phrasing, but they're rare.
Examples:
We got dressed up to go out to a party.
They'd spent a lot of time preparing to go to the party.
Just as I was entering the room, the family was going to the party. (Though this one sounds slightly unnatural out of context.)
