Doing or Ditching: Registering for china?

Lynnie, on April 1, 2019 at 09:05 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 45

Fine china used to be the centerpiece of every wedding registry, with couples spending tons of time in-store picking out their favorite china pattern. But let’s be honest - who really uses fine china more than once or twice a year?

Will fine china be on your registry or are you ditching this tradition?

    Ditching, but, like a lot of previous posters, will probably add in some everyday dinnerware/plates. Our are getting well-loved and will need replacing by the time the wedding roles around.

    Ditching. We have our cheap Christmas themed china and then we have our regular plate sets for the rest of the year and that’s all we need

    Ditching! We registered for corelle dishes instead haha. We like low maintenance and have no reason to own fancy stuff.

    Not registering for fine china, but we are registering for new dinnerware. We've been using my parents chipped hand me down corelle set, so we'd like something new for our everyday stuff.

    Ditching. We are trying to apply minimalism to different aspects of our life, and this was an easy one for us to skip. We did however register for Corelle plates as we need some new plates (:

    Ditching this one - we didn't register at all, and we don't have any interest in owning fine china.

    Ditching. I'll purchase it if need be at a later date, though I've inherited a pretty set from my grandmother already anyway.

    Ditching, we're not doing a registry at all as about / more than half of our guests are coming from the Netherlands and it's not a thing there. We also in general just don't need anything, as we've been living together for 5 years already

    Ditching! I do not have room in our house for any of this! Both sides of our family have asked if we wanted their china, and we have turned it down!

    No! I think it is beautiful but we do not host anything so no point in having it right now.

    Ditching, not having a registry as we have everything we need. Although, always nice to get new towels/sheets and maybe replace some worn items.

    We are ditching this. We don't have a registry at all as we have lived together for awhile so we don't really need anything.

    We did not. I have my grandparents China so there was no need to get another set.

    We're ditching this one. We aren't going to have a registry. We're going to ask that if you want to get something for us, to contribute to our honeymoon instead.

    So, my mom made me make a registry for my shower, and I registered for china, so that happened.
