You are a sweetgirl, indeed!
I agree with Playfair that hijacking a party takes some gall. Now if I had been at that party and then read this thread...now that's a lot of drama. Posting about it publicly seems provocative, as does the invite infraction.

I'm a somewhat anxious party-giver and identify with being easily rattled, but would try not to let on with guests during or after AND likely to ask guests to help if needed.

I suppose I might tease the person who brought the surprise guest with joking about being from the south and asking them all to stay overnight...that's what my family always said to anybody who stopped by for a visit...won't you stay for supper? why don't you just stay with us for the night? guess that comes from way back yonder when it'uz a fur piece a-gettin' home.
