## Resource

On today’s show, we take your questions on whether you should wait for everyone at the table to be served before eating at a large hosted luncheon, how families can navigate relationships when one member has become estranged, and whether it's okay to follow up with someone after a meaningful connection seems to have gone quiet. For Community Members, we’ve got a wedding etiquette double-header on handling self-invitations and unexpected plus-ones. Plus your weekly challenge, an etiquette salute from a grateful coworker, and a postscript segment on building habits.
