Everything you need to know about the Etiquette Daily

A most gracious welcome to Emily Post’s Etiquette Daily!

What is Emily Post’s Etiquette Daily?

Etiquette Daily is a blog moderated by The Emily Post Institute designed for you to get daily etiquette. We invite you to ask questions, share your opinions, and give your perspective on new etiquette issues.

Why use a blog?

We know that manners are always evolving. By hosting a moderated forum where people discuss etiquette we both inspire and learn from the conversation.

Where does the content on this blog come from?

A combination of places. They come from you, and from questions asked in the past. You can submit questions or introduce discussion topics in any “Open Thread”. In addition to your personal queries, questions on the front page are often culled from our archives and represent the editorial perspective of longtime spokesperson Peggy Post.

How do I ask a question or leave a comment?

Please do join the conversation! You can leave comments responding to any posting. You can also leave a comment responding to other comments.

How do you choose which comments get replies?

While we don’t have the capacity to answer each and every question that is asked, we try to provide a way to get your question answered. We choose questions for the front page that best represent the most common concerns of our readers. If you would like a personalized answer, the open thread that publishes everyday is a great way to talk with your fellow bloggers and see what their thoughts are.

What if I disagree? Is it OK to say so?

Yes, we welcome lively debate. Comments should be thoughtful, address the content of an idea, and not attack anyone personally.

Who moderates the comments?

The comments posted are approved by either EPI staff or our trusted community moderators.

Who are the community moderators?

They consist of EPI staff members and people who contribute regularly to the blog. Our community moderators have taken an active interest in the Etiquette Daily and help provide sound advice on a regular basis.

What is The Emily Post Institute?

The Emily Post Institute is the organization that continues the work Emily Post began in 1922. Spanning five generations, it is a family business run by the Post family.

What is The Emily Post Institute etiquette philosophy?

The very short answer is that manners are the application of essential principles – including honesty, respect, and consideration – to the question of individual manners in any time or place.

The Etiquette Daily is a great place to ask your initial questions. For more general research and further information on various etiquette topics, check out the emilypost.com!

  • On today’s show, Lizzie and Dan take your etiquette questions on two finger food questions, is two thirty o'clock a thing?, zits at the dinner table, party guests not paying attention to invitations and gifts that you don’t really like from someone you really love. Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment on an Emily Post’s theory about the Bank of Life. http://etiquettedaily.com/index.php/2018/04/16/episode-188-its-two-thirty-oclock/
  • Head over to our new and improved blog website, Etiquette Daily! Check out some of your most popular Q&As answered.
  • Q: It drives me crazy when someone's cart blocks the aisle in the grocery store. Should I move it or should I say something to the person? 
A: Short of shopping at 3:00 a.m., you're unlikely to make it through the store without a cart jam. A polite "excuse me" usually works, but you may have to repeat yourself, especially if the person is on a quest to find the cereal with the highest fiber content. If there's no one in sight, push the cart aside gently. http://etiquettedaily.com/index.php/2018/04/03/grocery-store-gripe-to-move-the-cart-or-not/
  • On today’s show, Lizzie and Dan talk about rejecting kind offers, names on wedding invitations, a follow up question from EP 182, and how to handle a lieu of gifts along with a very shrimpy problem! 🍤 (listen to link in bio!)
  • A Peter Post original.
  • Found an oldie but a goodie lying around the office today! Can you guess which co-producer of @awesomeetiquette is in the photo?
  • #AwesomeEtiquette EP 185: Honorifics and Chivalry
.
This week, Lizzie and Dan take your etiquette questions on pictures of engagement rings, community dinner displeasures, honoring honorifics, yoga class guests and elevator and door chivalry at work. Plus a postscript segment on breaking up. (Link to listen in bio!)
  • "One of the fundamental rules of the behavior of any man who has the faintest pretension of being a gentleman, is that never by word or gesture must he compromise a woman." ~ Emily Post, 1940
  • #AwesomeEtiquette EP 184: Weekend Woes
.
This week we take your etiquette questions on knives as pushers, dealing with questions about homeschooling choices, which job am I interviewing for, no wedding reply card and ski weekend woes. Plus a postscript segment on serving wine. (Link to listen in bio!)
  • "Etiquette must, if it is to be more than trifling use, include etics as well as manners. Certainly what one is, is of far greater importance than what one appears to be." ~ Emily Post
  • Let's be honest — not all dinner parties are great. The fun-factor might be low and the food could be subpar. So how do you know when to make an exit without making it seem as though you're rushing out the door?
.
Listen to Lizzie & Dan answer this conundrum via the link in our bio!
  • Should you have a registry for an elopement and a baby shower? What do you do when your roommate thinks something is hers (but you're sure it's yours)? How do you best ask for addresses in the digital age? How much control does the bride have over bridesmaid dresses?
.
These questions and more answered on this week's episode of #AwesomeEtiquette! (Link in bio)
