      Improper, yes because you should not include yourself in the question. 


      How is everyone doing tonight?

        Thanks for your response, but I'm looking for the grammar rule that makes it incorrect.

        I gave you the answer. Another correct way of asking the question would be, "How are you doing this evening?" Remove the "we".
