Wedding China, what have you done with yours?

Perhaps donate them to an independent tea shop where they serve afternoon teas? Very popular at the moment & they may be very grateful for beautiful additions. Most people enjoy a mug of tea at home (albeit a china one like I prefer) and these sets get put to one side - supposedly for ‘best’ but more likely that in reality we like a larger cup of tea and secondly, they are not dishwasher proof!

Mine and my parents are all taking up space in a cabinet. I doubt if a charity shop would be interested.

Why not start using it?

Failing that, why not try giving it to a charity shop? I am not sure if they would want it.

If they don't want it, I'd be inclined to use it.

When my dh & I married it was at the time when a special China was chosen for ‘best’! It is never used, my dd & ds are certainly not interested & it’s just taking up space in the cabinet. I wonder if GN’s have ideas of what I should do with this beautiful China. It is in excellent condition but needs to go! Please help!
