Hey Ya'll,
I want to ask something out loud here and hear your input.....

Do ya'll think the host or hostess would feel "obligated" to serve or set something out if it was brought by a guest?-----

I don't know for sure what the etiquette is on this matter but after a google search I came across this wording and it's sort of explains what I'm trying to ask....

Accept hostess gifts graciously. If you are the guest, please try to bring a hostess gift that is small and one which the hostess will not feel the need to use that night (i.e. dessert or flowers). A well prepared hostess will already have the table decorated and dessert planned, so it would be difficult and awkward for her to try and work in a gift like this.

I love the morning after basket she can graciously accept and tuck away quickly while still greeting her other guests. She can read the Thank you note in the morning and know you appreciated her invitation.
