I have a Pfalztgraff set. It's like the dishes I had growing up, not the same ones since Mom leant those to my aunt who promptly gave them away. But then Mom found a great set with serving pieces at a garage sale. At the time I wanted them. But now I want different dishes.
I found a Corelle set I liked but by the time I decided I really liked the price doubled. I'm not sure how that happened.
Somehow I ended up with 2 sets of flatware and the ones I liked the best didn't get packed and up here to Vermont. I really want the others, but I'm not sure when I'll get them.
If I ever get married I'm registering for good knives and linens.
Sighhhh
I have a lot of white Corelle plates, because I got the extras from Mother.
However, you can't nuke 'em. I want plates I can nuke.
I'm drinking my morning coffee out of a Diamond Jubilee mug. I've only been convinced to rid the world of some of the chipped mugs recently.
My formal china's white with platinum rims and a lace pattern. Been discontinued, so I should stockpile.
The more I hear about Tim, the more he sounds like me. I would totally be trying to print my own. I have trays and trays of lead type, if he needs some. (Note to self: You must get rid of the trays and trays of lead type, even if you have to become the lead type lady on Etsy. Because one human being cannot lift a tray of lead type, they're in the stack I wrestled them into before I got sick, and I keep running into them.)
He's befuddled as to why I don't want to do this, because I love typography. And I said that I'd love to goof around with the printing press, but feeling like I need to make my invitations on it creates a pressure for them to look right, and be done by a deadline, etc. etc. Plus, any project with him automatically takes 2-3 times as long to do as you'd think it would, which I'm used to by now, but I don't think I can handle that when it comes to this.
Steph, you said on FB that you didn't have colors. Yes, you do. Sapphire and silver. Get a bunch of blue and silver ribbon and you're done.
I don't know what to do with the ribbon. I am straight up the worst person to plan a wedding EVER.
Hand them to someone who is creativey and tell them to tie them on a bunch of shit.
Tie the ribbon on the groom. Instant decoration.

He does have long hair. I could accessorize the hell out of it.

If we're talking about the same Corelle, you certainly can nuke them! They're tempered glass, not plastic.

One of our clients is a ribbon wholesaler, and I have pages and pages of articles on how to use ribbon for your wedding, or your shower, or home decor, or as a fashion accessory.
I would totally be trying to print my own.
I did print my own...silk screened...and it as an unmitigated travesty.
The grad student I hired to help misspelled my husband's last name. Seriously, one of the top 10 most common names in America...and several other countries, I'm sure.
Tim would have to work extra-super-it's-not-even-possible hard to do a worse job.
Sapphire and Silver is a gorgeous color scheme.
