Choosing the best dinner set or kitchenware to include in your wedding registry can be a daunting task.
Let us help you with useful advices that will make your friends and relatives eager to contribute to your happiness!
1) Think Long Term
Your wedding registry represents a once-in-a-lifetime occasion to treat yourself and your partner. Thanks to your wedding registry you will finally have that elegant and exclusive dinner set you have been dreaming about for so long!
When you choose a dinner set for your wedding registry, bear in mind that it is meant to last in time. A quality dinner set will not only amaze your guests but also last much longer than cheaper ones. Imagine passing on to your children your beautiful wedding dinner set that they loved so much when they were kids!
2) Materials & Sizes
The most common materials you can choose for your dishes are ceramic, glass and porcelain.
Ceramic, being strong and durable, is ideal for your everyday needs; indeed it is the most popular material in dinnerware. Smooth ceramics are also suitable for fancy dinner sets.
Porcelain is a bit more expensive than regular ceramic but given the glaze treatment it is more durable and precious. Its smooth look makes it perfect for elegant gatherings.
Glass dishes are lightweight and add freshness to your tablediscape. They may be transparent, colored or opaque and come in a variety of patterns and decorations, either painted, printed or hand blown.
Dinnerware usually comes in 6-piece, 8-piece, 12-piece or 24-piece sets. A typical place setting consists of 2 or 3 dishes per person: a dinner plate, a soup & pasta bowl and a side plate. Serving bowls, platters, side bowls, etc., may be available to complete the set, but they are sold separately.
If you think that a 12-piece or 24-piece dinner set is too big for your needs, consider that it will be indispensable for your holiday gatherings, birthday parties and dinners with your numerous friends.
3) A Dinner Set for each Occasion
If you are still in doubt, just think of how you will use your dinner set. Always consider the style of your home and which type of occasion – formal versus informal – you want to organize.
Most people don’t limit themselves to one set because each occasion deserves its own dinner set! Usually it is best to buy at least two or three different sets; we suggest one for elegant dinners, one for informal dinner parties and one for your everyday meals.
