Im registering for our wedding reception.. do you reccomend dinner ware sets(large plates salad plates and?!
Answers: bowls) to be 8 or 12 settings?? also.. anything you wish you would have registered and didn't realize it til after the wedding?? or any tips?? thanks !
Unless you plan on having large events with lots of guests, 8 is ok. Perhaps 10 to be safe. But if you have a large family, then at least 12 is appropriate.
I wish we would have registered for less things in general and more everyday things. I gave people too many options and ended up with stuff I still haven't used. So, don't go for that Stove Top grill, Ice Cream Maker, Chafing Dish, or Soup Terrine unless you REALLY see yourself dealing with it at least once a week. ESPECIALLY big items because they take up so much space.
I wish we would have registered for more duplicates of everyday and frequently used things. Like cookie sheets, dinner plates, dishwasher safe wine glasses, tupperware, daily bath towels, daily silverware, and even travel coffee mugs. Also, 2-3 teflon pots would be nice. The kind that you cook pasta in. That way you can use one while another is dirty and in the dishwasher.
A collapsible colander. Ours is so big and bulky - it takes up half the cabinet.
JMHO. : )
You might as well register for 12--you may only get six or eight. Make sure you are picking a pattern that will be around for a while so that you can add to it. My crystal pattern was discontinued and adding pieces is now VERY expensive.
