Isn't the fact they say, go as a couple, only to make sure the party has the right ratio of people? I.e. The same number of males and females, or to make sure there are not an over abundance of single men all trying to get off.
I was at a party last night, couples only. Granted not many finally turned up but the ratio of men to women was good. Everybody had somebody and nobody was left out. I don't think anybody actually went with there own partner all night, well apart from kissing in the begining.
All in all good fun, lots of sex and fun had by all.
So the answer to your question would be, yes it is ok to go as friends. If they wanted singles they would ask for them.
I'm sure there are a lot of single females out there who would prefer to go with a 'friend', and in fact do - whether they did the deed with the friend or not.
I haven't been to a party or club either, but if I was to (chance would be a fine thing) I'd prefer to have an escort. At least someone to come and go with - no pun intended!
I think DH, the answer to your question is, yes, in your case it is appropriate to go as a couple. (Having never been to a party myself either). It is not like you are completly incompatible and will become two singles as soon as you walk through the door, or someone you just met in bar and asked to go to the party with you so you could get in.

Well......
speaking as a couple that holds the occasionalparty we know a number of swinging couples who are always very open about their relationships. By a swinging couple we mean a couple that is not in a direct relationship or even having sex with one another but who just happen to be swinging partners for all the obvious reasons. As a consequence we have no concerns in inviting them to parties and to my mind it can also be an advantage in that they do not have any hang ups regarding their partner etc.
However - would have to say we would always prefer to meet the couple first, just to put our minds at rest. When you invite 15 couples you know to a party and one you dont you take a risk that the one you dont know could spoil the party for the others and loose you friends.
So off you go Will - find a swinging partner and you never know - might get an invite from Wilma to the next party! :shock:
