Are you registering for china? Or ditching this tradition?

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...

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

    This is a thing? It's a no from me. We aren't even doing a registry... just gift/gift card suggestions on our wedding website (we'll have a nice card box at reception). We've lived together for years so we don't need much. I plan on purchasing some nice plates/bowls after the wedding with gift money. (We still are using his mom's hand-me-downs from 1989!)

    I’m ditching this tradition. I’ve never known anyone in my family to receive China for their wedding gift.

    Ditching! we will NEVER use it, nor do we have space for it. I also asked for recommendations for my registry and an older woman (who is a traditional person) told me NOT to ask for fine china! I thought that was interesting. Smiley smile

    BB&B tried to make it like this was something we had to do, which is ridiculous. We did not register for china and are much happier with the items we did register for.
