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 whether or not to host a bachelorette after the wedding, stealing a thank you, some misguided guest requests, and how to handle feeling unwelcome as guest.

For awesome etiquette community members, our question is about season tickets when you have guests in town.

Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript on keeping your

mouth shut while eating.

From Margaret Vissar's The Rituals of Dinner.

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 Lizzie Post. And I'm Dan Post Sending.

Cousin, I believe we might have something to tell our audience about today.

We do. I'm looking at it right now.

Tell them about the delivery we got this week.

It was so much fun. I am used to checking our mailbox daily, but I'm less used to checking the place where packages get left at our office.

And as I was coming in, I happened to see some boxes sitting there, and my curiosity got the best of me.

And I said, oh, I wonder who's getting a package.
