If half of the extra invitees RSVP, Cheryl can to squeeze them in and make everyone comfortable as best she can.\n[[The guest list]]
ANTHONY has been dumped by his girlfriend of 2 years and wants to make new friends of the female persuasian. He wants Cheryl to put on her party-planning hat and invite her firlfriends over for he and his guy friends to meet. \n\nGreat idea!

Cheryl knows that most of Anthony's friends aren't teaparty goers but she also knows that he trusts her to do what she says; and that is, introduce he and his friends to the kind of girls they normally didn't have access to - hot chicks you can still take home to mother.

Cheryl never mentions to Lisa that she'd rather stick a needle in her eye than serve Tilly tea.
