Episode 610 - Ending the Evening

May 18, 2026 · 1 h 3 min

Show notes

On today’s show, we take your questions on how to gracefully end the evening when house guests stay up past your bedtime, which side of the aisle the bride walks on when escorted by her father, and how to handle troubling behavior from a coworker with compassion and professionalism. For Community Members, your bonus question is about navigating guest requests and table etiquette at a debutante ball. Plus your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment with hosting expert Chip Conley.
