 Hiyaaaa,
Go alone!!!!
I know it sounds scary but go alone!
A few tips to help you!
1) Be polite. Say hello, shake hands and say please and thanks you kinda thing. Especially if they ask you to eat eat neatly and all that.
2) Be yourself. No point being stressed if that isn't the real you. I'm sure your girlfriend parents love to know the real you and just let your personality shine! They will love you for that.
3) Be careful with what you say! Don't talk about any of your ex girlfriends (that is if you got any!) and in order to avoid any foot in the mouth you can ask them questions like "what is the key to a happy marriage" so you can find a little about them.
4) Bring a small bearing gift. It doesn't have to be massive, in fact cooking something like making a cake or a stew would be wonderful. If you can't think of a gift, fruit basket would be nice. It doesn't have to be big just something to show your consideration of them.
5) Lastly... HAVE FUN! Like I said it might be scary and nerve wracking but if you make them laugh and treat them like they're your friends rather than in-laws I can guarantee you, that you will walk outta their house feeling happy and they will feel happy too.
Hope it all goes well!
Hope my advice helps too!
Lots of love,
Ima FreAk!
