Miss Manners: Can I plan ahead for leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner with my daughter’s in-laws?

Dear Miss Manners: I'm invited to Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws of my daughter. Is it rude to take my own to-go container to bring home leftovers?

And a burlap bag in which to take home the silverware when they are finished using it?

Due to storage space issues and ADHD realities, we tend to limit the number of reusable takeout containers that are just sitting around in the kitchen (vs being used to store craft supplies). So it's entirely likely that we'd send things off in plastic zippy bags instead of being able to locate a spare hard-sided container.
