Hi ladies
FI and I are searching for a nice dinnerware set to put on our registry (Macy's and PB). We aren't really fine china people, but want something white which would be durable and then we could mix and match serving pieces.
Any ideas? I love the PB Gabriella dinnerware, but heard it scratches easliy.
Thanks for your help!
Re: Dinnerware recommendation?
I've registered for Pfaltzgraff. Seems to be nice quality and there are different styles I can mix and match together.
Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

FI and I sadly aren't going with them because we don't like the patterns (which is slightly nuts since they have so many), and we don't want to settle on plain white dishware.
Fiestaware has a good mix/match option, but i've heard it chips easily and may not last long (though my interpretation of 'last long' = corelle which has easily surpassed 25+ years)
FI and I went with Mikasa solely based on the pattern we found, and the decent name. we also liked that it was a set that was informal enough for everyday use, but could be dressed up with a nice tablecloth, napkins and fancy serveware. they also have a good selection of patterns.

[QUOTE]I would reccommend corelle. <strong> im not sure why PP said it 'seems cheap' other than its a lightweight set because of the material it's made from. it's extremely durable.</strong> grandma, mom, and FMIL have had their sets for YEARS. they also have a good open stock selection to mix/match pieces.

<div>I also have never seen Corelle as cheap. Many members of my family have used it for years and years, and I have been using the same set all of my adult life. Actually, when I moved away to college, my mom gave me some of her Corelle that she'd had for as long as I could remember until I bought my own set. It's lightweight, but it holds up extremely well. And I have gotten something for everyday use that's basic so that I can add to it when I want and don't have to worry about my style being discontinued.</div>
