I registered for everday dishes, but I just don't think fine china is necessary for me and would rather receive some other things that we need. My friend is insisting though that I 'NEED' them...

I definitely am NOT registered for Fine china.

Re: Anyone else NOT registering for fine china???
I am in the same boat. I feel like I don't need it, and everyone is telling me I am going to be sorry.

You don't NEED anything. If you don't want them, don't register for them. We didn't register for your typical 'fine china'. We registered for a basic set from Crate and Barrel and then a nicer set from Crate and Barrel but it is in no way 'fine china' I think.
Only register for what you want/need. Why register for something you'll won't use? Then the person who bought it for you would be wasting his/her money, and that's not fair to them.

That's what I thought...besides I am so careless when washing dishes and I would probably break some!!! LOL! Glad to know I am not the only one who feels this way!

I didn't. Instead I got 2 different kinds of everyday dishes. We are not 'fine china' people.

Re: Anyone else NOT registering for fine china???
The way I see it is it depends on what type of person you are... if you are the type of person that entertains a lot, then you would probably want it (if not now than later). Fine china is really the type of thing you wouldn't get for yourself down the road so better to get it now.. but if you don't entertain- then you really don't need it.

Re: Anyone else NOT registering for fine china???
I wish I didn't register for it. Junebride04 brought me all of my China setting and I am very thankful for having a wonderful friend like her that would do that. But regret it a little just because they are just sitting in the closet in a box. Hopefully one day I will take them out to use them but I do not see that day coming for a long time, probably until I buy a house. Lets see.

We registered but at first FH said we shouldn’t. My family is more social than his is and for birthdays or any special day my mom feels like inviting people over, she pulls out the fine china for dinner. I know we will be doing the same once we have a house of our own.

We aren't registering for china either. My mom offered me my grandfather's set (who passed away recently). FH and I decided we'd rather have a set that was in the family especially coming from my grandfather.

Re: Anyone else NOT registering for fine china???
I didn't! We've never really lived together... There are going to be so many other things we REALLY NEED, vs. china we probably won't ever use. We figured when we buy a house, we'll just buy it for ourselves if we really want it!

Re: Anyone else NOT registering for fine china???
Your friend is right, you definately should. It might seem silly now but when you have to use it you will be glad that you have it. I know so many people that didn't register for China a regret it. You will get a lot of things on your list even with the China on. The woman at BB&B told me to register for a lot b/c people always want to buy stuff for the shower.
This is what the registry is for to register for stuff that you don't want to buy. Believe me, when it comes to when it comes to it you will be so happy that you don't have to spend so much b/c you didnt put it on the registry.

We did not, did not think I would ever use them, I think sometimes people register for them just b/c it is expected. I think something like that is so very rarely used that I think it is a waste. IMO I live life that way, why get something if I am so afraid to use it or enjoy it.

I didn't register for fine china, but rather casual china, which is a little more fancy compared to my everyday dishes, it's less expensive than fine china, so that's another option.

Re: Anyone else NOT registering for fine china???
I don't think you need to... if you can see yourself as being someone who will give dinner parties or even host a Thanksgiving dinner, then I would YES, get china. I'm personally not registering for china, since my grandmother is givng me hers, but if that weren't the case I would register for it anyway. I practically live in my kitchen and really love to cook, so I know that it's something I would use in the future. My sister, on the other hand, can barely boil water, so she's not going to register for china. There is no right or wrong, here... completely up to you!

Re: Anyone else NOT registering for fine china???
Im not either.
To me it is a waste of a lot of $$$. I would feel much better about breaking an everyday plate than a very expensive plate. You can have Beautiful everyday stuff that you will love to use im sure.
My Grandma is actually giving me hers, my father bought it for her when he was in Japan in the war. She said in the 40 + years shes had it shes only used it like 5 times. She always uses paper plates when theres a lot of company anyway!!!!
Good Luck

Re: Anyone else NOT registering for fine china???
We're not, but that's because I have a box of my grandmother's china sitting in my closet and another box at my father's. I certainly don't need 3 sets of china!

Re: Anyone else NOT registering for fine china???
Well I have thought about not registering for china....we will most likely be in an apartment. So who is going to have room for it. I'd hate to see something that cost so much sitting in a box in my only closet.

We registered for it, but if you don't see yourself using it, don't register for it. I know it's a big purchase, but if you come to a point in the future where you feel as though you 'need' it, you can buy it for yourself.
