THE BRIDESMAID
There are two species -- sentimental and bitter. Both may be eager to make the trip worthwhile. "If she's moon-eyed, lay on the romance," says NINA CALLAWAY, a wedding expert for ABOUT.COM. "If she's bitter, remind her of the perks of singlehood -- better sex, more often."

THE DIVORCEE
"Early on, she may be cynical about the whole thing," says Callaway. "Show her you aren't like her ex by being gentle and kind."

THE WEDDING STAFFER
"You can't ask her for a drink or a dance, so pass her your card, and that's it," says BARBIE ADLER, president of SELECTIVE SEARCH, a matchmaker.

THE BRIDE
Take a cold shower. Then wait. According to the U.S. CENSUS BUREAU, 30% of first marriages end in divorce within 5 years.
