Hi everyone - I've been having some issues choosing China - there's not anything I really love. I've been looking at Fortunoff's and Michael C. Fina in Manhattan. Any other suggestions?

Which pattern did you choose? Please post the pic if you can!

Here's my everyday - Villeroy & Boch CITY LIFE:

I'm going to check that pattern out..thanks!!

I found the best way to choose china was to pick something classic, that can be accented easily and goes with everything. That's why I picked Lenox Hannah, I didn't care for the accent plate that goes with it, but with a silver charger it will be beautiful!!

My mother wanted me to have her china. Can you beleive they still make the pattern (my parents have been married 41 years!)

Luckily I like the patern very simple it is called Lenox Tuxedo (Ivory with gold trim) All they changed was the Tea cup. SO my parents got me those. Now I have the old school tea cup (which looks more like a tea cup) and the new cofee cups

I love it. Will make it a tradition now and pass it down to one of my children.

We picked Grand Manor Platinum by Gorham. Actually, FI picked it out and I fell in love with it. Very simple, goes with all table linens, color schemes, etc.

Re: Which CHINA pattern did you choose?

My formal so far is Wedgwood TRADITIONS - but I'm having my doubts. Too similar to my everyday? (which is the first post)

I can't seem to post more than one pic - how do I do it?

I picked Noritake's Sweet Leilani (my DH wouldn't let me pick anything too pink).
But I just saw the new Vera Wang Duchesse china (with either pink or champagne trim) and if that was out when I registered, I would have gotten that no matter what. It's gorgeous!

Re: Which CHINA pattern did you choose?

No china here either - i'm not the 'entertaining' type and have no use for something so expensive that I wouldn't really use. Rather have good everyday dishes.
These are the 'everyday' that i registered for.

Below is the pattern I would like to register for, but FH and I haven't come to an agreement yet on whether we should even register for china. We'll see!
