How many plates?

AllyG303

How many dinner plates did you register for?  We're talking everyday plates...not china.

I think we registered for (2) 16-piece sets. Comes with 4 coffee mugs, 4 little plates, 4 big plates, and 4 bowls in each set. There is the two of us and a 9 year old.

I registered for 12 place settings. I probably would have done less but I'm getting 3 different colors of fiestaware and I wanted enough to do a table of one color or mix and match all three but still have even amounts. I probably over thought that but oh well.

We registered for 8, but I'm thinking of registering for 12...

umm did we even register for plates? i can't remember.. ha-ha.
We need to go re-do our registry, if we haven't put this on our registry, we'll probably put either 8 or 12 place settings, depends on the cost of what we pick.

We registered for two 16 piece dinnerware set. It comes with four each of 11" dinner plate, 8" salad plate, 7 1/2" soup bowl, and 12-ounce mug.

We're doing place settings for 12. It's absurd at this point since we live in an apartment, but things will break and eventually we'll have a bigger table than we do now...right?

Hmm I think we registered for 12 or 16? I can't quite remember. I just remember thinking that I don't want to run the dishwasher more than once a week so the more plates I have the less I'll have to do that! Plus I have a very large family so I wanted to make sure I had enough if everyone was over for dinner at once.

I registered for 12 place settings.  Eight wouldn't be enough I feel like if we had dinner parties and such.  I also figure we will break some so we have some extras.

We still need to register at our second place, but we don't have any yet.

I already have 5 sets of fiestaware, but I'd like to get 5-7 more. We also have some random dishes I like and don't plan to get rid of unless they break (or the plastic stuff starts to look terrible lol) There's only two of us right now, but when we get both of our families together, there are 8 people...and we plan to add kids to the mix in the near future, so I think 10-12 is a good number for us.

Place setting for 12.

8 Settings, with the idea that I will add more after my shower if the registery gets low and ppl are buying the settings.

This is exactly what we did.  So we have 8 casual and then we have 12 fine china :)

we did 12 place settings from crate and barrel for the every day stuff. i think 8 would be plenty but we did 12 just to be safe....

i have about 4 full sets of china that i have inherited from relatives over the years so we aren't registering for china at all.
