CG480 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I would call and see if they would like you to bring a dish to pass if they say no then I would bring a house warming gift of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Girl Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Call to find out if they need you/like for you to bring anything and again on the day of the dinner if they say no at first. For the gift since they are new I would get a gift card for Lowe's or Home Depot; always can use something from there when you move and put it in a Christmas Card.

decafmom Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I would suggest calling before bringing food to share as well. The hostess might have the evening prepared, but she might not. I agree on the housewarming gift. Since you're not familiar with their tastes, a beautiful poinsettia this time of year would be nice along with a bottle of wine. I wouldn't go overboard. Do you have a winery close by? If one is not close, do you have local wines that are sold at your grocery or liquor stores? It's always nice to share in something local. Lastly, have fun! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
