Do you know why I love you guys?

Because you never invite me to irritating events like jewelry parties. And I really think I might have to go to this one, because I LIKE this woman, and I don't want to snub her invitation. But, god, a jewelry party? REALLY?!

Tell me it's not going to be as ridiculous and insipid as I think it's going to be. Tell me I do not have to spend a ridiculous amount of money on mass-produced sterling silver in order to be a good friend.

(And why the hell are people paying this much for sterling silver? Jesus, doesn't anybody just go to Mexico any more?)

This is a most excellent idea, you reasonable person, you.

But I can still whine about it, right? Because, dude, a party where you have to bring your checkbook isn't really a PARTY, is it?

Oh totally! Whine away. I think it's a bit declasse, to be honest :D. I mean, it's one thing if you do a pampered chef party or something and make it clear to your friends that it's mostly about hey, this is a pleasant way to buy excellent kitchen products which are incidentally not exorbitantly priced, feel free to attend and not buy, etc. It's another to have something where it's nothing anyone needs, and in an area where there are likely to be strong personal style preferences.
