I'm personally a fan of the partial ghosting. If I'm at a party big enough where I know a lot of people, too many to say goodbye to in a timely and/or non-awkward manner, I like to say I'm leaving (and why) to one or two people and then take off, knowing my absence will be explained by those people.
