Average price of your china

Original post by Moosey911

For those of you who registered for china (the plates, not the country!! )......what was your average price per setting (5 piece setting)? I registered for ours and it's $69.99/setting.....is this really expensive and too much to ask? I found some that I liked that were $90/setting, so I thought this was reasonable.

We have a large family and I would eventually like to do Turkey Day or Hannukah/Christmas at our house, so I registered for 12 settings---again....is this too much to ask??? Nobody in my immediate family was sure on the etiquette for china b/c I'm the first (and only) to get married in the last 20 years....so I figured I'd ask you all.

TIA!!!

OK. I'm beginning to think we should change ours. It's $109. But it was so hard for us to find one we both liked. We registered for 12. I doubt we'll get that many though.

We did not register as we are inheriting family china but one tip a friend gave me was to consider registering for an extra setting or two. Things break, patterns get dicontinued and if you love love love your china -- always good to have an extra setting or two. ie My sister registered for 14.



good advice Deb - I never thought of this...



I inhereted china as well. There are websites out there where you can find older or discontinued patterns if you need more pieces.

Oh, there is also a store on Jericho Trpk. in the Huntington area that can find old china for you.

I also registered for 12 place settings.... $89 each. There were some I liked that were more but I didn't want to go overboard. I figured that at the least, if someone wanted to spend under $100... they just might by a place setting.

Mine was just over $100 and I registered for 16 place settings because we both have lots of family.

Here is a picture:



i like the idea of registering for more if you have a large family...it all works out, if you have more to serve you have more folks buying china for you...its a vicious circle! ps. LOVE your pattern hmm8191!!
