Wedding season might be in full bloom, but that's nothing to fret over if you're unattached. Wedding receptions are a hotbed for people on the prowl, which brings us to our real question: why are you single?

Wedding season for best friends isn't all bachelor parties, rehearsal dinners and hookups with the falsely libidinous. It's about responsibility. It's keeping drunk uncles from falling down stairs, it's holding onto rings in an outfit sometimes without pockets, it's administering tepid water to cold feet, it's telling Bridezilla that the citizens of Tokyo are sick of having their view wrecked, it's not complaining about an outfit that's so hideous it must be a personal attack, and it's giving a great wedding speech

Don't RSVP "no" just because your bank account is running low.
Give your friends a gift that doesn't have an obvious monetary value. In other words, resist the urge to write them a check in the amount of $54.25 even if it shows you're down to your last dollar. Instead, seek out registry items that pack a good punch. A miniature crystal vase doesn't carry as much weight as say, an oversized overnight bag. Luggage is a great gift for guests on a budget and if you can find it on sale, even better.
