Do you have "fancy" dinnerware-china, crystal, silver? Do you have tablecloths, placemats, etc. and do you use all of it? If so, how often?
This came up because we never use our wedding crystal glasses and my married DD24 doesn't want them either. She did not register for anything formal.
I use our china and silver a few times a year at holidays and they are pretty simple. I have about 5 tablecloths, 3 are casual every day that I rotate by seasonal colors. The dining room is used as the main eating space whenever we sit down to eat together.
Just wondering if that is a generational thing going away or if we just live really casually. My grandmother used to set a formal Sunday dinner every week but I don't know anyone who does that now. I love looking at pretty table settings and decorations though.
