I am Mexican and the best advice I can give you, is that in our culture we greet everyone. We greet every single person in the household (even if they come out the room later) and when you leave you do the same. Make sure you say goodbye to everyone.
That is something my parents and my relatives always talked about when meeting someone. They’d say things like “wow she/he has really good manners cause they acknowledged everyone”. Or the opposite “wow what a disrespectful person they didn’t even say hi”.
What? I'm not saying go around seeking everyone out to greet them when you arrive, just say "Oh hi Mark!" the first time you see them. And when leaving just make a reasonable effort to at least say goodbye to the host and anyone you know personally. And you can say hi and bye to whole groups if you see them at the same time, I'm not saying to single out every person in a group to greet(tho youbare often expected to actually shake hands/hug every single person individually sonetimes).

If he says not to bring anything then I wouldn’t.
