On Tuesday, Alex Lieberman, an entrepreneur who cofounded Morning Brew, Tenex, and Storyarb, wrote on X that he is "floored" that the majority of job candidates he interviews don't send thank-you notes afterward. "Back when I was interviewing for jobs, it was one of the biggest faux pas to not send a thank you email. Like instant disqualification," he wrote.

Between travel, accommodation, clothing, and gifts, I spent several thousand dollars. Initially, I was happy to do it. But now I'm not so sure. At the reception, each guest received a heartfelt, handwritten letter from the couple. It was a beautiful gesture. However, I found out later that the letters were also in lieu of thank you cards. Am I wrong to feel like attending a destination wedding and giving an expensive gift should also warrant a thank you card in the mail?

As soon as the children start descending, look around for parents or loudly ask the children where they are. (If the children are not old enough to respond, just get louder.) Once the parents have been located, say to the kids, You might want to tell your parents that you are here, because I'm not sure how long we will stay. And we don't want to abandon you.
