The Star Items For Each Category of Your Wedding Registry

If you plan to host formal gatherings, by all means, register for fine china — and treat it with the care it requires. Most people, though, live more casually day to day, so it's wise to add less delicate dishes to your registry. This stoneware Bee & Willow Weston 16-Piece Dinnerware Set ($135) is a fine choice thanks to its durability and attractive glaze. It provides service for four, so you'll probably want to register for two or three sets to make sure you have enough to handle guests, kids, and those days when you forget to run the dishwasher.
