On today’s show, we take your questions on whether you give a gift at a wedding vow renewal, if you can ask for cash gifts for a 40th birthday, and how to handle an uncomfortable moment at a memorial. For community members, your question of the week is about when to follow up after a job application is submitted. Plus, your etiquette salute, weekly etiquette challenge, and a postscript segment on the definition of incivility from The Cost of Bad Behavior by Christine Porath and Christine Pearson.
