Returned my china from the shower

All I have to say is...............DH was absolutely right! It was a waste to put the Vera Wang fine china on the registry

Our friends and family got us everything EXCEPT the china for my bridal shower.

I figured we'd use the 3 place settings eventually-but then a few weeks ago I went to a bridal shower for a friend, and she didn't register for any china at all. And I had a lightbulb moment and was like 'why did I register for that?'

So yesterday DH brought the china to return to Bloomies (it was like 3 place settings, 4 wine glasses, 2 serving dishes and a serving utensil)...ummmmmmmm we now have store credit for $900 bucks!!

We're totally gonna buy new home stuff that we'll actually USE.....

And we literally just made the cutoff because our registry expires 1 year from the wedding date (Oct 3). YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Re: Returned my china from the shower

That's a pretty sweet deal.

Congrats!

Re: Returned my china from the shower

I never registered for China either.


Congrats on the credit! Have fun shopping!

Re: Returned my china from the shower

awesome! thats a nice chunk of change to get back!!

Re: Returned my china from the shower

sweet deal!!!!! happy shopping

Re: Returned my china from the shower

wow... $900 for that... crazyyyyy... you def did the right thing by returning it all! my china was pretty much a mikasa 8 place setting of boxed china that cost $200... and i actually use it everyday

Doesnt pay to register for super duper expensive china IMO... but it def worked out in your situation

Re: Returned my china from the shower

Really? I guess if you didnt get it all i can understand that. But seriously we use our Lenox alot. We love to entertain & eventually we will be getting Thanksgiving as our holiday & maybe even Christmas Eve. We love serving on fine china. So for us it was sooo worth it.

But im super happy for you getting 900 buckaroos!!!! lol Hope your feeling great. <3

I never registered for fine china either. My reasoning was that if I know a plate is worth over $100, there is no way I'm letting anyone eat off of it. In the end, my mom took the liberty of buying us the Mikasa Parchment set. To me it looks like fine china but it's priced like casual china.

I think maybe if we had a house we wouldn't have returned it....and if we had gotten all of it (or at least the majority of stuff we would have kept it all.

BUT right before we got engaged, we bought ourselves gorgeous every day plates/silverware/glasses from Crate and Barrel. Which we always end up using anyway.
If we were going to complete our china set, to complete it would be over $2,000!!

SO instead we're now getting some Le Crueset cookwarse and a deluxe keurig. And a nice pair or 2 of shoes

haha good for you! i wound up returning a few things to macys and bought myself LV's medium neverfull damier!

Re: Returned my china from the shower

That's awesome!!! If we ever get a house lol, I'm debating returning my box set of Parchment...only would be a $200 credit, but I've got service for 8 in Countryside Italian, service for 8 of the Pottery Barn Reindeer collection for the holidays, plus 2 patterns of service for 4 everyday plates...dishes up the wazoo! So do I really need another service for 8? I just wish I'd get 900 for mine too

Re: Returned my china from the shower

Smart move Jen!!! I never registered for china because I knew we'd never use it. Have fun shopping!
