Nothing, unless asked to do so ! They are planning their lunch and you are going to be their guest. Just enjoy meeting his family and be yourself - Please - volunteer to help in the kitchen and with the clean up - that way they will know that you were raised properly and you will be able to talk to the various family members in the kitchen.
Just relax and have a great time - but above all - Be your self !!!!
Have a Great Thanksgiving !!!

Wine is supposed to be matched to the food consumed unless you're thinking they can keep the wine for a later date. Champagne is a good pick for celebrations like Thanksgiving, just make sure that they even drink- so to not offend anyone.
Were you asked to bring a dish or were you just thinking of bringing something to be polite since they invited you into their home? If you weren't asked to bring a dish specifically, do not bring dessert. They probably have desserts prepared and you might either 'show theirs up' or... well they might just have perticular tastes... ask your boyfriend!!! Tell him what you want to do, he knows his family best and can probably help alot!

Are they drinkers?? Wine is ALWAYS good, but desserts are good too. If you all plan on drinking quite a bit (like we do =0)) then bring the wine!

Either one or both. I would ask what type of dessert so you dont bring the same thing they might already have. Flowers in Fall colors might be a good alternative too.

I think that depends on your age. If you're old enough get wine, else dessert or flowers is just perfect. Enjoy it.

I would find out if they need anything and if you don't want to ask then just bring what you feel like bringing. Its the though that counts.
