Modern Etiquette: What’s Actually Expected Anymore?
Podcast: No Gossip, Just Saying
Episode: 30
Episode Title: Modern Etiquette: What’s Actually Expected Anymore?
Publish Date: 05/06/2026
Hosted by: Jenn Schofield + Jodi Ross
Brand: Danz Insanity Studios
Episode Summary
When did celebrating turn into a full-time financial commitment? In this episode, Jenn and Jodi pour a glass of wine and dive headfirst into modern party etiquette—where it’s gotten messy, what still matters, and what absolutely needs to stop. From over-the-top celebrations (hello, $2,000 bachelorette weekends) to the chaos of gift expectations, they unpack how social norms have shifted and why so many people feel overwhelmed trying to keep up.
They break it down Emily Post-style, covering everything from thank-you notes and RSVPs to splitting the bill and awkward Venmo requests. Along the way, they share real-life stories, hot takes, and a few “did that really happen?” moments that make you rethink how you show up as a guest—or a host. It’s honest, a little unhinged, and surprisingly helpful if you’ve ever questioned what’s actually expected anymore.
