MemberI inherited my grandmother’s 60-year-old formal Royal Doulton china, which I absolutely love and is in pristine condition. As a result, we’ve registered for casual China to replace the 1970s Corelle that was handed down to me by my mom when I left for college.
MemberWe did not. I live in a one bedroom apartment and would have no place to store it. Plus, I would never use it.
HostessN to the O! As I am not expecting the Queen to dine with us any time soon and my DH enjoys obliterating any nice dishware we own we opted out. My aunt has offered us her gorgeous china and matching crystal to which we graciously declined.
Long live Corelle dishware!! 🙂
Member@Itsallcomingtogether: I wish you had an option for “No, and I wish I did.” I’m curious if there are brides out there who didn’t register for china and wish they had!
MemberRegistering for china is a moot point for me – my mother has my great aunt’s china set aside for me, so there’s no need to purchase more. And honestly, if there was no family china in the mix, I probably would leave china off the registry anyway. Sure, we entertain, but I don’t think we need a special set of dishes to do so. I should mention that my parents use their china every day, so I never grew up with a “special” set of dishes.
MemberWe did not and I’m so glad we didn’t. We got a lot more practical things instead that we wouldn’t normally be able to afford and that we NEEDED rather than wanted.
MemberWe’ve registered for all white limoge china which is a bit more heavy duty and can be used everyday. I’m expecting to get the majority of the service at my shower this summer because that’s when most of my female relatives got theirs. Our set is from a heritage brand so we’re not expecting it to get discontinued any time soon, and a lot of the pieces come up on eBay for a fraction of the retail cost.

MemberYes, and I love my china!
MemberAlso inheriting bone china so were registering for additional pieces of our pre existing everyday tableware.
MemberWe registered for a nice set of everyday dishes. We asked for quite a few of the dishes so that we could entertain a large group and since they are fairly nice I didn’t see the point in registering for china. Also, I will be inheriting my parent’s china which I would much rather have over new china.
MemberWe registered for some Kate Spade China, It’s a mix and match collection of different colors which I think makes it casual enough for every day use but it’s also nice enough for more formal situations. After the Kitchenaid mixer, the only thing I really hope I get is the china.
MemberIn my family and DHs, holiday meals and important family dinners have always been on china, so it was important to me to get it. I have all 12 settings and a few serving pieces. We also got a full set of beautiful everyday and tons of other stuff. We pretty much got all the things we really wanted on our registry.
Im glad I have it, but if had not gotten it, we would be able to inherit any number of china sets from the families.
MemberFriends, Fiesta is not china. It is stoneware. It’s great stuff, but it is not china.
