so yesterday i was talking to fh's step-family and they were asking me all sorts of wedding related questions and what not and they asked me about my registery. so i was answering thieir questions, no big deal. then they asked if i registered for china, i said yes. they asked how much a setting so i told them and they proceeded to tell me i should take it off b/c i was going to get like maybe 1 or 2 place settings and it's a waste. what am i supposed to do???
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
went to my parents house for our birthday dinner (our b-days were thursday) and guess what she got for us!!!!!!!! 2 place settings!!!!!!!!!!! they will be delivered in about 2 weeks. see people will buy them! and she told me she plans on buys at least 2 more and a serving tray so they can just blow me!

I would leave it on. If its what you want people will buy what they can for you. You always have the option to purchase on your own to complete the amount of settings you've requested.

Re: annoyed need to vent a little bit
so because they don't plan on buying it for you that means no one else will? You should tell them to blow you

Maybe you will get just 1-2 settings from their side, but your side might get it for you.
I say leave it....add more even!!
No one HAS TO buy it.its there if they want to.
ETS--so what if 2 of his family members want to chip in for 1 setting
and I agree with Jess's 'blow you' theory

I agree lol if its too expensive, people will pitch in.
I'd leave it (and yes, 120 is pretty average!)

I totally agree. I have been in more than one BP where our gift was to buy all and at the very least most of the china. It's a popular gift for BP to give. If you like it leave it on!! They can register for what they want when they get married!

Re: annoyed need to vent a little bit
Paul and I registered, and we know place settings are expensive.
We bought what we didn't get from our engagement party with the money gifts we received.
I say leave it. Especially if you get some sort of rewards for purchases off your registry. Whether you buy it, or someone else does.
An expensive gift looming in your registry isn't the end of the world!! If people are overcome with guilt for not buying it, let it be their problem!
ETA: Paul and I registed for lenox dessert plates at 40$ each and someone bought every one of them!

Leave the china on your registry! It's yours and your FH's registry, not theirs. So what if you don't get all of the place settings you need/want? You can always buy the rest yourself.

Don't you dare take the china off your registry! Who died and made them 'everyone'

Re: annoyed need to vent a little bit
Are you registered at a store that has coupons and/or sales? Also, stores usually give you a discount to buy anything from your registry afterwards.
1 setting from my china is $115 regularly, but it's usually on sale for $90 and even $80...I'm registered at Macy's so if it's $80, and someone has a 10% off coupon, it can be bought for $72...not bad!

Leave it on your registry. You & fh picked it because you like it. You never know what people are going to purchase for you. Don't let them get to you

Re: annoyed need to vent a little bit
Although thats exactly the reason why I didnt register for china (my family will NOT spend that kind of $$, I know this to be true) it is None of their business!! You never know! Plus, if you do only receive 2 settings, you can always choose to return them later on.
