I'd probably do it for her on the outbound as a part of the wow factor - particularly if you keep it a surprise. It's a great way to get her excited about the trip. You'll walk out the plane and at the door of the plane see your host with a sign (you can have them put whatever you would like on it) and then they take you down for the Porsche transfer to the sky club, and then back to the plane to board either first or last. It's a pretty cool thing to do for someone traveling with you, particularly if they aren't used to the first class travel life.
If you just have money to burn, sure. However for a D1 passenger there's little of value for the heavy expense. For two, I believe $550 total. All to get a car ride for maybe five minutes, someone to walk with you, and ability to walk up stairs at jetbridge. Skyclub access comes with D1 already.
