## Resource

On today's show, we take your questions on how to become a gracious host when entertaining doesn’t come naturally, who should give a thank-you gift at a wedding welcome dinner, and whether tipping expectations have changed now that 22 percent is showing up more often on payment screens. For Community Members, we have a bonus question about navigating family visits when your mother refuses to see your husband. Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, an etiquette salute and a feedback postscript segment. Join the community - emilypost.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.
