I registered for 12 sets that I absolutely love. They are more fancy than just casual dinnerware but not fancy enough to be fine china. I was just wondering if anyone wouldnt mind sharing with me if people actually bought you china. I feel like no one will want to spend the money, and even the ones that do, were definitely not going to end up with a full set. How many sets of china does one normally recieve, or should I register for something less expensive or just buy them myself.
Re: How much china?
We've registered for 12, at about $115 each, and though I don't anticipate people buying them, I likely will, slowly over time. Wherever you register will probably offer a completion discount to let you fill out your set (or at least work towards it).
Ours were at BBB so we can use those 20% off coupons which I'm sure the people who bought us the sets we already have did as well. I never go to BBB without a coupon now ;0)

I think it all depends on your crowd. If your guests tend to give cash at a wedding, you probably won't get much china. Our relatives seem to prefer physical gifts, so the china has been popular.
I would just leave the one you like on your registry. If you get it, great! If not, you could always either buy a cheaper set yourself or if you get a few, exchange them for the less expensive option. But you might be surprised at how many you get!
