Watch how Lizzie Post and Dan Post Center act as host and hostess.

Hello!

And welcome to awesome etiquette, where we explore modern etiquette through the lens of consideration,

respect, and honesty.

On today's show, we take your questions on eating freely at parties, a major shoes-off disrespect,

whether or not to turn a family gathering into a baby shower,

and a coworker who is desperately seeking spoons.

Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment from Emily's delightful book,
