Call your husband's aunt and ask her if there is anything you can bring. She will appreciate the thought even if she says that you needn't bring anything.
Also some families have kooky traditions at Thanksgiving like passing a candle around at the dinner table and everybody has to say what they're thankful for, so be prepared just in case.
Have fun!!

Ask your boyfriend what to bring, maybe you can even call and see if they want you to bring a dessert or side dish. And the best idea is you and your BF are from different countries/traditions then bring something that is typical for you to do on Thanksgiving or holiday season and this way you are kinda closing that cultural gap.
Wine or a good liquor for after dinner are also great suggestions

Dont worry.. you will be fine.. thanksgiving is great.. I hope you like to eat..lol.. but if the family will be drinking with dinner.. or maybe you can ask your boyfriend if it would offend anyone if you brought a bottle of wine for his aunt.. If shes not a drinker or he doesnt think she would appreciate it.. bring her a flower.. if you just want something small to show your appreciation for inviting you.. buy a thank you card.. and just let them know you appreciate being included in their family time.. BUT.. by no means do you HAVE to bring anything.. but if your wanting to.. those are a few ideas.. hope that helps.. goodluck.. and dont worry.. Thanksgiving is a fun time with family.. you will be fine..

Take a deep breath -- issues will go incorrect and 3 months from now each and every thing would be considered as astounding. i could initiate with only looking around your apartment. that's that your residing room should be switched over into the eating area or which you will positioned a card table in the nook to function a buffet. Then attack your menu. issues which could be served room temp or family contributors kind are solid! perhaps only having a veggie and fruit tray for a 1st course could be solid -- leaves you to delight on your corporation, and so on. Having a cooler to maintain liquids retains people out of your kitchen. utilizing potatoes/ bean casseroles/ and so on which could be made forward and held in crock pots is likewise a actual plus. Get your self a solid unfold sheet: you are able to verify cook dinner time and what should be carried out whilst -- that way once you're loosing your innovations you are able to inspect the checklist and say, "Oh yeah, turkey is going in now" ultimately, relax and revel in the meal your self. solid success!

Hi there! It is polite to bring something for the hostess, like wine, flowers, or candies.
It will not be expected of you, but the family will think very highly of you if you offer to help. Like setting the table or pouring water for everyone beforehand, and volunteering to help with the dishes/putting food away/clearing the table afterwards. They may decline your offer to help, but it is the height of courtesy to offer. This is true of any big family dinner, not just Thanksgiving.
Many families also have a tradition of talking about what they are thankful for in their lives, so you may want to think a little about some answers ahead of time.
Have fun! I hope you enjoy yourself!

Hello there well I have been there the same as you and only thing that they will expect from you is to be your self and sit there and listen and if they start talking to you make conversing and just relax and be happy and have a good thanksgiving with them

You can either ask what you can bring or ask if you can bring a dish you like to make. If you feel funny about that, bring a pie or a nice bouquet of flowers that have Fall colors.

Get drunk first - that way when they annoy you it won't bother you.
