I love entertaining and like to have nice dinnerware to use. However, you gotta think of the following things when registering for gifts.
1. Are you really gonna use it that often? If you aren't then is it money well spent?
2. Is this something you would spend money on yourself? Cause if you wouldn't pay that much for it, do you expect others to?
3. Do you have the money to spend on it? Cause what if you don't get a complete set from your guests? Then you'll be stuck buying the rest and it can get expensive.
I'd personally would rather get more gifts then one gift that costs a ton and I'll never really use. :-)
