This centennial edition of Emily Post's classic guide to etiquette has
been completely rewritten with up-to-date and comprehensive advice on
the need-to-know manners, customs, and best practices of today.
For the past one hundred years, Emily Post has been America's definitive
source for how to navigate--and enhance--every social interaction. In an
increasingly diverse and intersectional world, the need for a trusted
primer on how to put people at ease and treat others with confidence and
kindness has never been greater.
Lizzie Post and Daniel Post Senning--the great-great grandchildren of
Emily Post and co-presidents of The Emily Post Institute--provide a
fully updated and relatable guide. From advice on entertaining, table
manners, and using titles and pronouns, to personal and professional
communication etiquette, this stylish and essential reference provides
thoughtful guidance on how to do it all well. Rooted in a foundation of
consideration, respect, and honesty, this edition continues the Post
family legacy of upholding traditions while moving forward with the
times. The book covers:
-
Etiquette classics like table manners, gift-giving, thank-you notes,
greetings and introductions, and everyday conversation
-
How to be a good host and a good guest, from handling invitations and
setting yourself up for success to plus-ones and dealing with mishaps
-
Tech etiquette including video meetings, parties and classes, and how
to politely handle devices, home security, and AI
-
Managing hard times, from what to say (and what not to say), to the
tradition of condolence notes and how to offer support following a
death, miscarriage, or tragedy
-
Tipping practices in the age of rideshares, tough times, and
ever-prominent payment screens.
This book also includes handy reference guides for each chapter that
make it easy to find the Posts' most searched for content, like a
gender-free attire guide, a soup-to-nuts entertaining chart, sample
invitations, and more.
With Emily Post's Etiquette, The Centennial Edition you'll have
everything you need to build successful relationships in all aspects of
life as you move through your world with confidence and ease.
