I mean I won't go as far as bringing a dish because I don't know them that well. But yeah, just wondering. We've been dating for over a month now!

 I think that is a fantastic idea! I think not only is it polite but also customary to take flowers or bottle of wine when invited to dinner.

Sharing a couple of glasses of wine with them, goes really well into taking the edge off meeting parents.

 I can't see how it would hurt! It seems like a kind gesture without being over the top.

 I don't think flowers are necessary, but always a nice thing to give. If you have only been together just over a month, I don't think you need to do anything to excessive.
Have fun!

After getting intimately involved with my then-girlfriend for two weeks, I went to her house for dinner and got her parents a fruit basket.
