Etiquette extends far beyond the rules of holding doors and proper forks.?
I actually rather like etiquette but there is so much I don’t know! Experts like Emily Post, author of Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home, know much more than I do so I checked out their advice on these interesting etiquette questions I’ve been asked.
1) Ladies first, right???
Nope — not always. Not when we’re talking about a revolving door. Men should actually go through a revolving door first so they can push it for a woman. Don’t believe me?
Lizzie Post has become my go-to for etiquette questions on twitter. Check out what she has to say!?
Here are four etiquette tips for this fall.

2) To drink or not to drink?
If you bring wine to a dinner party, it is considered a gift and the host does not have to open it.?

Experts recommend that if you want the bottle you brought to be opened that night, you should offer to be the one bringing wine to the party in advance.
3) Sending a wedding gift?
While there are major disagreements about this, most experts say that you do not have to give a gift if you are not attending a wedding. As a matter of fact, some experts say that it is not required to give a gift even if you are attending.?
The gift is traditionally meant to support the marriage, not the wedding itself. But if you ask me — I say go with the gift no matter what.
___
___
4) White after Labor Day?
You don’t have to stop wearing white after Labor Day. Lizzie Post recommends switching over to winter white when it starts to get chilly!
Now you can make decisions with confidence knowing these etiquette rules!
