My boyfriend's mother has invited me to their Christmas brunch and another dinner on the 26th, and I would appreciate some advice on how to impress him.
For a bit of context, we are both 26, in our first relationship, and we met on hinge in June 2022; we made things official in August, and things are going great for us.
I have met his entire inner circle, including friends and parents, outside of this Christmas dinner/brunch; however, we are still in the process of him meeting my mom and friends. I have also been his guest at his work gala, so I have had the opportunity to meet his colleagues.
Anyhow, I would like to impress during this dinner & brunch and would appreciate some advice.

Just be polite. Use your manners. I don’t think you need to impress the men that much as far as his father. It’s the mother. But if she invited you than that’s a good thing. Just be normal. I will say one thing though when I met my kids boyfriend or girlfriend is I did not like that they always felt they had to be attached to my song or daughter at the hip. Meaning ask if mom needs help, play w the kids if there’s kids. You don’t need to be attached to your boyfriend the entire time. Interact w them. Laugh. Have fun. Joke around.
And eat!!! I know how girls can be w eating. But we like to see a girl who isn’t afraid to eat. Like no I’ll just have a salad. That’s like a slap in the face especially if it’s something mom spend hours cooking. Doesn’t have to be like that all the time. But Christmas, yes make sure you eat.
They are very much hoping to like you. They are probably thrilled that your boyfriend has a girlfriend to bring to brunch.
Just be your usual lovely, considerate self. Presumably you know basic table manners, and how to behave in a group. If you have any doubts, DM me.
Something cute and comfy with a pinch of humble. If you guys are serious its probably best to start dressing like your serious about the relationship.
