Emily Post Etiquette

Everyone knows that Emily Post was the leading etiquette pro of her time and is still considered one of the top leading etiquette pros today. Although, some of her material is a bit outdated, one may gleam many useful tools from her instruction in her famous book Etiquette.

“Manners are made up of trivialities of deportment which can be easily learned if one does not happen to know them; manner is personality—the outward manifestation of one’s innate character and attitude toward life.” Emily Post

One may find thousands of tips on party giving, correspondence, wedding planning and conduct in public or private settings in her work.

Below you may find her entire book online to read for free or you may order a hard copy of Etiquette for further reading. Her family has continued the tradition by adding to what she started. You may find many helpful incites on the official Emily Post website, as well.

Another widely accepted resource for etiquette is the National League of Junior Cotillion. We have our very own right here in Sumner County. It is very useful, but can be considered costly for some. Personally, I believe it is well worth it.

"In chapters of the NATIONAL LEAGUE OF JUNIOR COTILLIONS across America, students are learning the basics of etiquette, ethics and manners. Here is today's lesson for you. Please check this page frequently for new topics."

"When visiting someones' home, is it all right to add spices to the food?A: As a courtesy to your host, never add salt or pepper until you have tasted the food. If you need some, use it sparingly. Make it a rule to never ask for a special sauce to place on the meat."You may access Sumner County's representative, Pansy Stewart, and/or NLJC below
