I would say "party-goer", "party-people". I've never ever heard
"partier" or "partyer", to the best of my knowledge, although I'd
understand them without hesitation - I'm not sure which spelling I'd
use. But if you look at <http://m-w.com/dictionary/partier>, you'll find
that both spellings are acceptable - and since no indication is given to
the contrary I'd expect that both variants are acceptable in both
British and American English.
