CHINA PLACE SETTING

How many are you registering for??

We did 12 and I just changed it to 8 because my FH thinks we are insane to think we will ever have a formal sit down with 12 people knowing our friends and family

Re: CHINA PLACE SETTING

We did 12 and reason being is....China is supposed to last forever, not like your everyday dishes. So with getting 12, we figured if one or 2 break you now have 10 or so. If you have 8 and one or 2 break, you now have 6. I would honestly get 10 if he thinks 12 is too much :)

Also factor in how much will you cook?.... I come from a very Italian family where my grandma or mom cooked every sunday and we had holidays and parties at the house. We plan on having about 2-3 kids and I hope to cook and have sunday family dinners and holidays one day. If you have a larger party than 12.... go with the plastic and paper dishes!!!

Re: CHINA PLACE SETTING

We registered for 12 and that won't even be enough for dinner with my immediate family.

Re: CHINA PLACE SETTING

I am not registering for fine china but I registered for a higher end everyday casual china that I can use for everyday and for formal event....registered for 12. The reason being is that I think registering for two sets of china is a lot to ask for,from us, because we don't live together so we need like everything and anything for our house and I want to make sure that we get everything we need before we get the fine china that we will probably never use.

Re: CHINA PLACE SETTING

well we didn't register for any china because we inherited TWO sets of china - but for informal dinner sets we registered for 12 of those as well - we always like to have people over and be prepared!

Re: CHINA PLACE SETTING

I posted my formal dinnerware and was greatful to the ladies for their suggestions. Looking for everyday dinner, breakfast dishes.

China isnt for everyone if you arent into entertaining, cooking for friends or family
