    The issue of security is certainly a good point. 

    I have known people who dealt with this by having a friend, ideally
    a friend with a large house, host the event. Then there is some
    separation. 

    Also, I've noticed people who work with just sterling silver and no
    gold or diamonds are less concerned with this. 

    Another solution would be to have your event at a suitable location
    -- one of the nicer community centers, or we have a pub around here
    with an upstairs party space that's often used for small auctions,
    fundraisers, that kind of thing. 

    Of course, that ups the costs, but it's always a risk when you're
    throwing your own event.
