I met this guy, and we've been dating a 2 months.
I've already met his parents several times, but he's invited me to a family dinner this weeked (his cousins are in from Europe). It's at his grandmom's house and she is doing all the cooking (appatizers thru dessert).
He insists I shouldn't bring anything, but what does ettiquette call for? I brought flowers and dessert for his mom before, but should i get something for the extended family? I don't want to insult anyone, but I don't want to look rude either! >_<

Hello Amber-May, firstly let me pass on my good wishes to your boyfriend for finding a kind and considerate young lady as you! Over here in England our custom for any family get together is to either contribute a sweet ie, your own invention ( so you can show his family that you too are capable in the kitchen department) or find out what drink appeals to Granma then bring it in as a thank-you. As I have never had the pleasure of visiting the U.S.A I'm assuming that I won't be too far off the mark with my suggestion. Bon appetit!

Wine is always good - find out if they drink and if they do try to match the wine with the meal. You could always help with the clearing of the dishes and washing them. Flowers for the Grandmother is always a winner. Good luck

If the hostess is cooking everything...when you get there offer a hand in the kitchen. if you are at least 21, a good bottle of wine....or ask to find out if they would want you to bring the drinks.

Just wear a long coat over a french maid's outfit. It's guaranteed to make an impression!

Maybe a big box of candy they could all share.
