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 hosting trouble with traditional gender roles, handling invitations when you’re overseas and grieving, a short question about being a new grandparent and how to handle family names on a wedding invitation envelope. For Awesome Etiquette Community members our question is about a moment of awkwardness around an up in the air wedding invitation. Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute and a postscript on parenting don’ts from Emily Post’s 1940s parent book Children are People.
