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 feeling left out of an invitation. how long people should talk at a gathering, and an unusual hostess gift situation.

For community members, your question of the week is about asking people if they're going to have kids.

Plus your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment where we hear from

featured Emily Post trainer Trina Booz of the Boost Academy of Excellence.

All that's coming up.

Awesome.

Etiquette comes to you from the studios of our home offices in Vermont, although today

we are coming to you from Martha's

Vineyard in Vermont and is proudly produced by the Emily Post Institute. I'm Lizzie Post.

And I'm Dan Post Sending. Hey, cousin. Lizzie Post, there is no way to record live video when you

If people wanted to see us more on the fly, I could probably drive into town and do it from

my truck, you know, because we do it off of our phones for those lives. The Substack Lives

is what we're talking about, where we answer one question a week on the Substack Live, but

there are some days where that's just hard to make
