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?

Here's the compromise I struck yesterday: I brought tupperware[generic] as a hostess/household gift. That way they could put it away if they wanted and break it out to give out leftovers if they wanted (which is what happened.)
