FAQ
A most gracious welcome to Emily Post’s Etiquette Daily!
What is Etiquette Daily?
Etiquette Daily is a blog moderated by the Emily Post Institute designed to answer etiquette questions. We invite you to ask questions, share your opinions, and give your perspective on new etiquette issues.
Why use a blog?
We know that manners are always evolving. By providing a moderated forum to discuss etiquette we hope to inspire and learn from the conversation.
Where do the questions on this blog come from?
They come from our readers – you. You can submit questions in any “Open Thread” or to questions@emilypost.com.
How do you choose which questions get answered?
There are no “silly” questions. We try to answer all the questions that are asked at Etiquette Daily. We choose questions for the front page that best represent the common concerns of our readers.
How do I participate?
Join the conversation! You can leave comments responding to any posting. You can also leave a comment responding to other comments. Be sure to check back regularly as it is likely that Post family as well as institute staff will be joining in the discussion.
What if I disagree? Is it OK to say so?
Yes, we welcome lively debate. Comments should be thoughtful, address the content of an idea, and not attack anyone personally.
I see content that is not in a Q & A format. What is this?
The Emily Post Institute is involved in many different aspects of etiquette culture. We often have content that may be of interest to our community. We will selectively seed this site with some of that material.
