At dinner

When I'm invited to a dinner (is it dinner or a dinner?) and after eating I feel satisfied. The host may ask me to eat more. What is a nice way of telling him/her that my stomach is full and I can't eat anymore?

thanks

I guess you can also say "Thanks, but I'm full" I'm not sure if that'd be too informal, though.
