Modern Etiquette with Elaine Swann
A retirement party turns into a family debate when some guests offer to bring side dishes—and one outspoken relative calls it “tacky.” Is it rude to accept help with food, or is this just thoughtful hospitality in action?
In this episode, Elaine unpacks the real meaning of etiquette when it comes to hosting events, accepting help, and navigating differing opinions with grace.
