Maybe it's just that you don't know how to use social courtesy.

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and...

...act as host and hostess.

They know that courtesy means showing respect, thinking of the other person,

real friendliness. 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 RSVPing within asterisk,

walkers entering your private yard, the rules for wearing white at a wedding, and thank-you

notes in other countries.

For awesome etiquette community members, our question of the week is about visitors using

your house as a crash pad rather than coming to spend time

with you. Plus your most excellent feedback etiquette salute and a postscript on a recent

mismanors column. All that's coming up. Awesome etiquette comes to you from the studios of our

home offices in Vermont and is proud to be produced by the Emily Post Institute.

I'm Dan Post Senning. And I'm Lizzie Post. Hey, cousin. How's it going, Lizzie? It is going well.

I am. Sorry, I didn't mean for that to come out so slow, but it is going really well. You and I had a

really busy work week.

You know, I hate saying the generic version of it, but we were putting together book proposals.

I was going to say, do you dare talk about it?

Yeah, why not?

I mean, we're going to be soliciting questions and stories and all kinds of stuff from our audience.
