We have learned that hosting a house party costs not much more than a Saturday evening at a swinger's club. Economy does not mean we need to compromise on the table we set for our guests.

We are now feeling better about our engagement in The Lifestyle than we ever have. We enjoyed the company of eleven other couples, all people of our acquaintance but not all with whom we have played, previous play not being required for receiving an invitation. The preparations for the party were simple and we had the generous help of another couple for establishing a theme and getting things set up. One of the strategies we have settled upon is to ask people to bring their favorite wine, liquor or beer but no more. We catered the food, supplied equipment for play rooms, comfort items and safe-sex accessories. It was great fun for us and great fun for our guests. We will be planning another, soon.
