The scoop on wedding china?

farmgirl

Is it a gift for your wedding? Is it something you purchase for your wedding?

Answer
It is a gift for your wedding. I already had my late mother's 1964 Lenox set with platinum trim so I was all set. I think if I had registered, it would have instead been for stoneware - Williams Sonoma restaurant dinnerware, which is what we now use for everyday. My step-grandmother took me shopping for our first set of casual dinnerware, and other step family members got us serving pieces and cups for that same pattern.
