TET with a local family

9 years ago
We've been invited by a local family to celebrate Tet with them.
Just to be on a safe side, are there any traditional elements that it would be nice to know in advance and follow?

Like what a guest should bring or is expected to bring? Those yellow flowers? Some small sums of money in envelopes for kids (so I heard - and if so, how much should that be?) Candies? Anything a foreigner should know about this celebration in a family, given their inner hierarchy or who knows what (I am sorry to admit I have the tiniest idea about local traditions and ways).

Thank you so much for any tips -)
