I recently got married and registered for 12 place settings of Fiestaware in two different colors. At my shower, I received 10 settings, and saw that they had all been completed when I looked at my registry. I received 7 more settings from various people as wedding gifts. What I figured out was when Macy's has a buy 1 get 1 free sale on Fiesta settings, it doesn't mark off the second free setting on your registry apparently. So if you want 12 settings, perhaps only register for 8 and see how you do at your shower, and then add more settings to your registry before the wedding if you didn't get as many as you needed and save yourself the return headache.
