Episode 606 - Graduation Party

About this episode

The episode discusses etiquette questions related to hosting and communication during graduation celebrations.

On today’s show, we take your questions on whether it’s ever okay to “ghost” someone who wants to visit your home, how to handle hosting a wedding shower that’s growing way beyond your comfort zone, and how to navigate graduation announcements and party invitations without confusing your guests. For community members, your question of the week is about how to address a fellow gym-goer whose sauna habits are making the space uncomfortable and even unsafe. Plus your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a feedback postscript segment on everything from subway staring to that dressy casual dress code.
