daha fazla yiyemem! Doydum I can´t eat anymore, I"m full
they will not expect you to do any chores as you will be there guest.
ask your fiance what to bring as a personal gift for each member
others can add more I hope.

:
I will make tea

could I help you with dinner? ---> Yemeğe [yemek yapmaya] yardım edebilir miyim ?
most probably they will say "No" as you are a guest, but they will be happy when you help them.
could I help you with washing up [dishes] ? Bulaşığa yardım edebilir miyim ?
