On WhatsApp, your personal messages stay private, between you and whoever you sent them to.

So, things like your passport number for your honeymoon stay between you and your fiancé.

And those hour-long calls with mum stay between the two of you.

Even your streaming service password stays between you and your flatmates, who still ask for it every week in your group chat.

Because on WhatsApp, your personal messages are yours. No one else can see or hear them.

Not even us.

WhatsApp. Message privately.

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

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and Dampost Center 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 using a

two-handled soup bowl, keeping the holidays phone free, arriving late to a holiday dinner,

and being unsure if someone got your wedding gift.

For awesome etiquette community members, our question of the week is about not inviting someone

to a holiday this year who has been invited in years past.

Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript on holiday cards.

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 Sennig.

And I'm Lizzie Post, because I hope you're recovering
