How many place settings?

How many place settings did you register for? BBB recomends 12 but that seems like alot to me.

I think a lot depends on the number of people you see yourself entertaining. I have a big family and though I registered for 12, lately i've been thinking about adding a couple more settings. Just my immediate family is 8 people plus FH and myself is already 10 people.

13 - in case something breaks - you always have a replacement

I can't believe how expensive this stuff is. I had no idea. Of course I like the Lenox stuff too. I don't know if anyone will buy it for me.

I plan on registering for 16 place settings. You may think that is excessive but both my FH and I have large immediate families with in-laws and semi-extended families that share in each celebration that would require the use of china. I always hated being the one who had to use the stuff from the kitchen when everyone else got the fancy stuff.The not-so-easy-to-break stuff is reserved for the kiddie table - NOT the grown up table!

I registered for 8 settings only cause we don't have many more then 4 usually for dinner... sometimes 1-2 more, but not usually.

I registered for 12-I have a large family and so does he so I'm also considering adding on more place settings so no one has to use the everyday stuff

i registered and received 12 place settings for my china. i think once you start counting people on both sides it easily adds up and you always need extra just in case someone you werent expecting comes for a holiday dinner
