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 the #awesomeetiquette #podcast EP 272 (link via website in bio!) Lizzie & Dan discussed splitting Uber//Lyft/Taxi and what to do when everyone leans on the same person/people to take on the  task. Lizzie was out in #Montreal last night with a group of friends who all pounced at the chance to order the ride and pick up the tab. Certainly refreshing when your friend’ budgets, awareness, and generosity allow for this. But the podcast deals with the opposite, when you’re on a budget and everyone keeps leaving the cab tab to you and only you. TELL US in the comments how you & your friends keep things fair when it comes to fares! .

  • Wow! We are loving this article in Present magazine @present_mag  about repurposing holiday cards! We get a lot of questions from people about whether or not cards or simply just more clutter, and we tend to fall along the lines of be green about it as best you can but for the most part greetings and sending people well wishes at the end of the year is a wonderful tradition to participate in. This article helps us make a little less waste when it comes to our very good holiday greeting intentions. (Not sponsored). .

  • Before I leave for Vacation I’m making sure to get some thank-you notes done! I’m sending a note and 2 grades of local maple syrup to my uncle George to say thank you for letting me stay while I was in Charleston on business. (I also re-apologized for accidentally breaking a chair in the guest room - I went right through the seat!) uncle George was very understanding and kindly told me he thought it was already broken. 
Any thank-yous you’d like to tackle today? Tell us in the comments & then go make them happen!!!
