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

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and Dan Post Senate 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 turning a bunco party into a birthday party keeping up old

friendships having your baby shower in your own home and bringing dishes to holiday meals

for awesome etiquette community members our question of the week is about side conversations at small

dinners of four plus your, your most excellent feedback,

etiquette salute, and a postscript on business etiquette.

All that's coming up.

Awesome, etiquette comes to you from the studios of our home offices in Vermont, which had

its first snowfall, and is proud to be produced by the Emily Post Institute.

I'm Lizzie Post.

And I'm Dan Post-Sending.

Hey, Cahs.

How's it going?

It's going.

Like, it's, we're writing about it. We're talking about it.
