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 who pays the bill for an out-of-town

guest, not opening gifts at a baby shower, and teaching kids about kosher. For community members,

your question of the week is about when to reach out to someone you know through business.

Plus, your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment on inviting

from Margaret Vissers,

The Rituals of Dinner.

All that's coming up.

Awesome.

Etiquette comes to you

from the studios of our home offices

in finally rainy Vermont

and is proudly produced

by the Emily Post Institute.

I'm Lizzie Post. And I'm Dan Post Sending.

Super Dad.
