Thanks for the advice, everyone.
Re-reading our original post, I didn't make it clear that we had not already made a dinner date with this other couple. They asked, and we happened to be busy, so it was left that we'd just see each other at the next club party.
That being said, everyone's advice was pretty much in line with what we thought. Some of the reading that we'd done prior to getting involved led us to think that most (though certainly not all) couples swing together and that it's not OK to try to split one partner away when approached by two partners. We both agree wholeheartedly with this concept, by the way - we'd want the same courtesy applied to us. We're just trying very hard to fit in and not make any blatant newbie mistakes, so we wanted to be sure we were on the right track.
Thanks again for the advice!
