I would definitely take a small gift if invited to lunch at someone's house- its up to the others if they dont want to but it is polite to do so.

I would take a house plant- flowers die so quickly and the plant is a lovely reminder. An Easter egg is also a good idea.

I didn't say chocolates. I said an Easter egg. There is a world of difference.

I would take the flowers, it is each person's choice whether to take a gift and you feel you would like to so please do.

I'm sure most people going for lunch will take something especially on Easter Day.

I think it's a lovely idea! And as gonegirl says, some chocolates for everyone to share after the meal.

Definitely take the flowers! It's Easter Sunday. Everyone should have flowers. Take her an Easter egg too. Can't see why it should make anyone else feel uncomfortable!

This sounds like a lovely idea. Who wouldn't be charmed by a simple spring flower posey?

I have been invited to a friend's new house for lunch. She moved in some time ago but this is my first visit - others who are also invited for lunch have visited several times. I thought I would take along a bunch of flowers as a combined housewarming/thank you for lunch.

However on discussing this with someone last night they said that as the others would not be taking anything my flowers could make them feel uncomfortable. I know I could arrange for flowers to be delivered the next day as a thank you but then I would feel uncomfortable turning up with nothing!

She is a non drinker so a bottle of wine to go with lunch is not an option, besides most of us will be driving. So should I take flowers or not?
