Excuse me spelling...I have been doing a little drinking today.

LOL that sounds great -- congrats on graduation!
I have a set of Minton Grasmere china that my parents got for me as a child when we lived abroad, so DH and I did not register for china.
Blue Lace by Mottahedeh
wedding china is wedgewood crown platinum
we also have Mikasa Camelot, which is a pattern from the 60s that was my grandmothers. when she gave it to me, there were only about 7 pieces left but i have built settings for 12 plus serving pieces and spares from ebay, resale shops and replacements.com. i loooove this pattern!!
Lenox Murray Hill
So Tasty, So Yummy
for formal I have Mikasa's Palatial Pattern:

It's very classic and looks similar to PP's patterns. For everyday plates I have pfaltzgraff's Naturewood pattern. I've had it forever and love it!

Lenox Opal Innocence
We registered for one that is from Italy (Pagniosa). It has been discontinued, which really stinks! I should probably stock up on items.
I received one of my grandmother's patterns. I'm not sure what it is...it's blue and I've never taken it out of the box since I got it six years ago. Maybe when we have a china cabinet I will display and use it. My MIL has also promised me her mother's pattern (she passed away when MIL was really young), but I'm not sure what that is either.
If I could re-register, I would probably get the Mottadeh with a goldfish on it for fun, and something plain like Waterford Kilbarry for formal dinners.

Lenox Coronet Platinum?
I'm super cheap and wanted something that I would feel okay having anyone eat off of (even the kids)....
Mikasa Cameo Platimun
Our formal is Lenox Grand Central (incomplete)
Our informal is Spode Floral Haven (complete)
Noritake Crestwood Cobalt Platinum.
I purposefully picked a less expensive pattern (although we love it and think it is beautiful) because if I had to register for china, I wanted a full set and not pieces.
If I could magically be gifted a full set, I'd probably want Wedgwood Lusterware in Blue Fin.
Our formal is Wedgewood, can't remember the exact pattern but it looks identical to bpaullo's.
Then our everyday china that I just bought 2 years ago is Chris Madden Felice in white/ivory. LOVE it. The bowls and teacups are the best size.

We have DH's grandmother's wedding china that we've never used. I love having it but am too scared to use it b/c I don't want to break anything so it sits in our buffet untouched. I should let go of that fear.
Vera Wang by Wedgwood- Grosgrain
I LOVE it, and have 8 place settings....yet have NEVER used it!
Lenox, Hannah Platinum.
i'd have to get up and go look.
I didn't want to get it. I thought it was stupid but mom swore up and down I'd need it.
I think I could throw a fancy party for DH and myself and that's it. I have a total of two place settings and 2-3 serving dishes.
I'm thinking of ways I can sell it off.

we have a tiny dining room, so it's still in boxes over 4 years later.
Your food is so amazing it would look knock-out on a paper plate.
