dinnerware and drinkware: should I get sets of 8 or 12?

dinnerware sets of 16 image

I am soon buying new sets of dinnerware and drinkware. Should I get sets of 8 or 12? My family is composed of my husband, myself, and our 16 months old son, and we dont entertain very often.

Answer
Are you purchasing very expensive items? Investing in settings for twelve will carry you in good stead for many years (unless it's Melmac, there will be breakage) and you can always pass it on to the next generation. How big is your extended family? Lots of things to consider, but I suggest service for 8 in a moderate price range; don't break the bank......your taste may change sooner than you think.

Need some help finding a gravy boat to match some plates?

My mom has some stone dinnerware and I'm trying to find a gravy boat that will be a close match to it. Here's a link http://shopping.yahoo.com/795842338-american-simplicity-16-pc-dinnerware-set-floral/

Answer
Unless the company makes a gravy boat your never going to match that floral design. I'd go with one that compliments the set. Most dinnerware sets, unless your payining big bucks for them don't come with matching gravy boats anymore.
