It's just nerves. Be yourself. If his parents like you, you have nothing to worry about.
Dress in what you feel comfortable wearing, not to please them, but yourself.

Well, congrats! It's always nice to meet the family. Relax and be comfy. You are surrounded by people who love you (the bf and his parents) and they have probably said nothing but good things about you. These other family members will not be focused on you the entire time, but more so just relaxing and having a good time. For the formal lunch thing, wear something appropriate, but comfy. Make sure that you don't put on a front to impress anyone, or make yourself out to be something else. Everything will fall into place. Once you get there and things are going smoothly, you will wonder what you were ever so nervous about. Good Luck and have a great time!

totally normal. Try this at the lunch: Ask people questions about themselves, and act interested in the answers. Ask a couple more questions about whatever they say. That way, people talk about themselves, which they love to do, and you don't have to say too much.
Most likely they will try to put you at ease and act very nice.
Be sure you wear something you really like & feel good in. Wear or carry things that boost your confidence - a good purse, whatever.
Think ahead of time what you might say about yourself, if they ask.
Avoid politics, religion, and any controversial subjects (unless they bring it up).

You are just nervous. Do not think about the possibility that someone may not like you. Just be yourself and be polite. Everything else will fall in to place. Besides, if his parents are comfortable with you, then they will not allow anyone to start verbally attacking you. Relax and have a good time.

You're nervous evidently about the extended family. First, remember, the people who mean anything already love you (he and his parents) -- just hang out with the familiar and all will go fine -- they'll introduce you to people and you'll then start feeling comfortable. Have good time!!

The best tip I can give you is to relax, and just be yourself. You already know his parents and have a good relationship with them.......they can be the buffer between you and the rest of the clan. Just greet every new person you meet with a friendly smile and a handshake.

Just try to stay calm and insead of feeling scared focus on how much fun it will be. And just be nice to his family they should all continue to like you and love you. It will be a great expierience and afterwards you'll be glad you went and will have learned some more resilience for future things. As long as you try to stay calm and are polite and confident you'll be fine.

Honey, I am married to my husband and am still nervous around the family whatever you do just try to stay calm and relax. You don't want to embarrass yourself by blushing through the whole thing.

It's okay to be nervous and scared. If you love him so much go along and enjoy yourself. You being down will make him down too, and we don't want that do we? ^_^
