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 how to

handle an unusual food intolerance at work,

whether stay-at-home moms and volunteer should have business cards,

and whether you can ask potential wedding guests how likely they are to attend,

before you send out invitations.

For community members, your question of the week is about how to deal with parental boundaries around a wedding.

Plus your etiquette salute and a postscript segment where we hear your feedback about recent questions.

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.

Hey, Caz.

Good morning, Lizzie Post.

It's feeling like a good morning.

Isn't it?
