Weddings are supposed to be joyful celebrations.

But they can also be a minefield of questions, expectations, and etiquette dilemmas.

Who pays for what?

Is it okay to invite someone to the shower but not the wedding?

How do you handle family conflicts, destination weddings, social media, gift registries, and all the modern challenges that Emily Post never had to contend with?

What is proper today?

For generations, when Americans had questions about manners, etiquette, or proper social conduct, there was one name they trusted, Emily Post.

Her etiquette books became the gold standard, helping millions of people navigate life's most important occasions with confidence.

And today, her legacy continues through the Emily Post Institute.

That remains at the forefront of modern etiquette.

Our guest today is Lizzie Post, Emily Post's great-great-granddaughter.

She's the co-president of the Emily Post Institute and co-host of the popular Awesome Etiquette podcast.

Lizzie is carrying that legacy into a new generation with her latest project, Emily Post Wedding Stories.

That's a fascinating new podcast inspired by research she's doing for the upcoming book, Emily Post Wedding Etiquette.
