It's a seder - you don't bring a thing, including flowers. The tables already are too full (wine, seder plate, salt water and parsley for dipping, charoset, hagaddahs, etc.), and trust me, your host has enough going on, they do not want to deal with flowers upon your arrival.

If you must, write a thank you note after, but truly, this is NOT a hostess gift event.

Yep, opening wine on Shabbat is fine.

At Seder or just on Shabbat?


Both
