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 when someone shows up with lots of

extra food for a party, a refresher on holding the door etiquette, and the proper way to

eat a cupcake. For community members, your question of the week is about what to do when someone

wears white to a wedding. Plus your etiquette salute and a postscript segment where Dan reads from Emily's novel How to Behave, Though a Debutante.

It is a roaring good time.

All that's coming up.

Awesome etiquette comes to you from the studios of our home offices in beautiful and hot Vermont and is proud to be produced by the

Emily Post Institute. I'm Lizzie Post. And I'm Dan Post Sending. Yippie Kaya, you are back from my

favorite vacation. Cousin, I am seething with envy in all the good ways. I was so thrilled to get

photos from you,

but I want you to share with our audience

how magical the CM Ranch in Du Bois, Wyoming was for you

and the entire Sending clan.

This is like, this is summer magic memories, my friends.

You're going to love this.
