Tou wa Ikitai ka?
Party (topic) To go (expressing a will with itai) (question particle)
Is this the correct way of asking if someone wants to go to a party?
I have a question about that sentence too.
If now paatii was the subject, why is it that you don't use wa? Can you put one particle next to other?

My own advice to a language-learner, from the very beginning, would be extremely simple and straightforward. Never use language that you have not seen or heard and which, as far as is humanly possible, you therefore know to be correct. This is at first an extremely difficult discipline – but only, I would emphasise, at first; like anything else it will rapidly become second-nature if you stick to it. The student that learns this way – ultra-patient, some might think it – will perhaps proceed a shade slower at first but I have no doubt at all that they will learn the language a great deal more satisfactorily and satisfyingly in the end as a result. With specific respect to dictionary-use, I would advise learners only ever to use a dictionary to look up things they already know, either to check spelling or to find a word (in the language learnt) that is on the tip of the tongue or simply to satisfy your curiosity as to what the dictionary has to say about it. Never use a dictionary as a means of learning anything. It isn't any such thing.
Well, I'm just that kind of a guy. Just kidding, I couldn't resist.Pâti ga issho ni ikimasu would mean "a party goes with (me)."

undrentideニ探ニ停?慊 seems to have explained it well, so I'll re-iterate that here. (just to cover up my foolishness)First of all, 党(とう) tou has narrower meaning than the English word "party", tou is a group of people, usually a political party.
If you want to ask someone if she/he wants to go to a party, you can say
パーティに行きたいですか?
Paatii ni ikitai desu ka?

Thanks for the clarification. I was trying to flex those mental muscles I thought I had.
Both are equally correct. "Ni" and "e" are interchangeable there.so which is the correct one? is it "paatii ni ikimasu" or "paatii he ikimasu"
