What to take to friend's house?

sarahintx05 · October 2008

We're going over to another couple's house tonight for dinner. The other girl is also pregnant, and I'm trying to think of something to take over. We already offered to bring something and they said no. I'm having a hard time with this one...we usually bring wine, but I know she's not drinking any while she's preg. Any ideas? Btw, I normally wouldn't stress about this, but they're kind of new work friends, so I want to be polite!

Dessert is always a good idea, mayby bring some brownies or a small cake?

Some sort of dessert or flowers. I am leaning more towards dessert, but I think that is just because I would kill for a piece of cheesecake right now.

A yummy dessert or treat. Oh, and I love the pp's ideas as well.

BTW, your mama raised you right. I never go anywhere empty handed. Even if the person says you don't have to bring anyting. I think that it's just plain rude to show up without at least a little something.

A pumpkin-y candle or flowers...she may already have dessert planned.

Our friends who always bring wine brought me sparkling pom / apple juice it came in a wine bottle So I would be left out of the drinking. I thought it was a very thoughtful gift. You can bring wine for the men and sparkling juice for the women

I also believe in never showing up empty handed. However, I don't like to bring anything that is meant to be consumed immediately (like baked goods, etc.) unless the hostess specifically accepts my invitationto do so. I figure she has a menu planned already. I'd do flower, a box of chocolate or a nice bottle of olive oil as a hostess gift.
