Are you registering (or did you register) for fine china? (NOT including everyday use china)
If so, how much is 1 table setting of your fine china?
Share a pic of your china choice if you feel like it! ๐

The fine china that I am registering for is $180/table setting…but I love it so much >.<
It’s ok if nobody buys it for us, obviously. I won’t be heart broken. I just can’t find a china that I love as much as this set.

My Future Mother-In-Law is Italian and said we *had* to register for china. So we registered for 1 place setting. We didn’t feel the need to and seeing as her reasoning is because the Pope might come for dinner (even though we live in Canada) we joked around that we would only need 1 place setting, for him.
She didn’t find it very funny but we did.

We are not registering for any china– fine or otherwise. We are both klutzy and it will get broken, not to mention we won’t be having “fancy” dinners.
I just can’t justify having something in our house that will no doubt meet an untimely end so the $56/4 place setting Target dishes will suit us just fine.

This is ours:

None of it has been purchased yet, so hopefully someone will actually buy some!

My FI’s parents generously gifted us their entire fine china set! We received it in August and have yet to unpack (we live in a tiny, tiny house, and knew we would be moving in a year). We’re going to wait until we move into our new house. Depending on what all we have – being as we haven’t seen it at all yet – we may just register for a few matching pieces to complete what they already gave us.

i totally would have bc i love hosting but bith Fiance and I both have a set if grandma’s china packed up at our respective parents attics….. they are sort of similar (cream w gold edging) which is kind of funny!
my set is for 12 but his is for like 20!!!! so add in my current special occassion dishes (set of 12), my everyday crate+barrel (8) and a few cute sets (4) we can feed an army!
i ended up only registering for new salad plates ti match my everyday c+b set since a few of those ate chipped/broken but i didnt want to toss the whole set (or add another set to the attic)

We didn’t register for any- my mom wants to give me hers, but even if she wasn’t doing that, we still wouldnt’ register for it. We think it’s unnecessary, it takes up a lot of space, and it’s just a hassle in general

I registered for Marchesa by Lenox. I love the mix of colors and the gold rim. ๐
I’m still working on refinishing my Mom’s antique china cabinet that she gave me so I can display it, and have easier access to it. I have servings for 12.

We registered for china and I’m glad we did. We don’t have a huge immediate use for it, but I’m sure we will down the line – once we start hosting Christmas’ or Thanksgivings or christenings.

This picture makes it look dark – it’s actually a lot lighter in person.
