...isn't the Republican Party or the Democratic Party or Nader's party, but my birthday/engagement party, happening this Saturday. If you're in town, let me know if you'd like to attend.

Maybe I should make attendees sign a party oath before letting them in:

I, [state your name], do solemnly swear to party hearty tonight, ooh and ahh at Wendy's engagement ring, smoke outside and not use Joey's towels as boot and shoe mats.
