An engraved invitation to Tuesday's White House State Dinner, the first hosted by President Barack Obama.

He and the first lady will honor Manmohan Singh, India's prime minister -- in a big way, and in their way. In a departure from the most traditional venue, the elegant, high-ceilinged State Dining Room, the Obamas instead will gather with a few hundred VIPs in a huge, heated tent on the South Lawn.

The guest list for the black-tie gala remains a closely guarded secret, so there's heavy speculation about who may turn up. Expect Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill. Several Chicago notables are good bets, such as talk show diva Oprah Winfrey, hotel billionaire Penny Pritzker, businessman Marty Nesbitt and physician Eric Whitaker.
