About this episode
The episode discusses various etiquette questions including wedding attire, handling unwanted political content, and managing wedding registries.
On today’s show, we take your questions on whether to change clothes during a “catholic gap” wedding, what to do when a coworker keeps sending you political social media content you don’t want to engage with, and how to thoughtfully manage your wedding registry—from “liking” items to guiding guests toward preferred shops. For community members, your question of the week comes from a listener in the UK, wondering how to acknowledge loose acquaintances in public, especially when you remember them, but they may not remember you. Plus your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment with featured Emily Post etiquette trainer Kristi Spencer.
