I believe the answer is:

overdo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'carry too far' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'because of big party' is the wordplay.
'because of' becomes 'over' (eg 'he's upset over it').
'big party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party. I am not sure about the 'big' bit.).
'over'+'do'='OVERDO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overdo that I've seen before include "Carry to excess" , "Be excessive, perhaps in cooking food" , "Cook wrongly" , "Exaggerate, go too far" , "Exaggerate; use too much of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
