Weddings are supposed to be joyful celebrations, but they can also be a minefield of expectations, Family dynamics, social pressures, and etiquette dilemmas.

Who pays for what? Is it okay to invite someone to the bridal shower but not the wedding? How should couples handle destination weddings, gift registries, social media, online RSVPs, and difficult family situations? And what happens when modern wedding trends collide with traditional etiquette?

In this fun episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro welcome Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of etiquette icon Emily Post, co-president of the Emily Post Institute, and co-host of the Awesome Etiquette podcast.

Lizzie shares insights from her new podcast, Emily Post Wedding Stories, inspired by research for the upcoming book Emily Post’s Wedding Etiquette. Through conversations with married couples, she explores the real stories behind weddings—the planning, the surprises, the challenges, the lessons learned, and the advice couples wish they had known before saying “I do.”

Together, Shelley, Kathy, and Lizzie tackle some of today’s biggest wedding etiquette questions:

• Who is responsible for paying for what?

• What is proper etiquette for destination weddings?

• How should couples and guests handle social media?

• What should you do if you never receive a thank-you note?

• Are some modern wedding expectations crossing the line?

• How can families navigate wedding conflicts with grace?

Whether you’re planning a wedding, attending one, helping a family member prepare for a big day, or simply curious about modern manners and Relationships, this episode offers practical advice, memorable stories, and timeless Wisdom for navigating life’s most important celebrations.
