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

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and

Dan Post Senate 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 dressing for a gala, rude behavior around Thanksgiving, and a child

free wedding. For community members, your question of the week is about telling people what you want

for holiday gifts. Plus your weekly challenge etiquette salute and a postscript segment on

Halloween trick-or-treating etiquette. All that's coming up.

Awesome, etiquette comes to you from the studios of our home offices in Vermont and is

proudly produced by the Emily Post Institute.
