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

Oh, that's all fashion.

Watch how Lizzie Post and Dan Post 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 how to address a wedding invitation when the bride

already took the groom's last name, whether ladies should wear hats in a restaurant,

and saying thank you too much when dining out.

For community members, your question of the week is about whether shower hosts should be

invited to the wedding.

Plus your etiquette salute and a postscript segment where we interview one of the Bridgeton writers.

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 Sending. And I'm Lizzie Post. Cousin, you're back. I am. And you are

not for long. No, I am not. In fact, I really appreciate you hopping on the mic right now so

then I can launch myself away to the vineyard tomorrow.

Tag your it. How did we do this? How did we do this?

How did we do? I don't know. Wait, what do you mean how did we do this?

Like be ships in the night passing on the vineyard and not get to connect down there?

Yes. We couldn't have planned it any better unless we had waved at fairies going opposite directions as you come and I go.

And then we do it again a week later.

Yeah, right, right?
