My fiancé and I were Christmas shopping today and we saw a set we absolutely love - they had used a simple pattern as a base, but paired it with a plain gold charger and more ornate salad plate from another pattern - it looked awesome.
The issue is...it's pricey. Not crazy or anything, but enough to make me wonder if we should choose it. I love china, and will use it - in my family we use the china at least once a week- so I'd definitely fill out the place settings myself and be fine with that.
Would you register for it and just see what happens? Or just buy it after the wedding? I don't want to look "grabby" and I told FI that if we choose it, it can be the *only* expensive thing on the registry....what do you guys think?
**Disclaimer - my wedding isn't until next December but my family wanted us to choose a pattern so that they could start it this Christmas.
