Married peeps: If you got to redo your wedding day....

I'd have done it remotely, paid for guests to travel, and enjoyed the people I really wanted to be around. 90% of the people who were there I never see and don't care if I see them again.

When I read remotely, my first thought was doing it over Skype or GoToMeeting.

We did, and got quite a few pieces (but not enough to add up to complete sets [plate, cups, saucers, etc.] sufficient to entertain more than 6-7 people). In the almost 22 years that we have been married, I think we have used our china less than 5 times. What a waste. I totally agree with DeacWatcher that formal china, crystal, etc. is a massive waste of money. They also present a huge opportunity cost by taking the place of much more practical, useful or just downright fun gifts.

Just start using it.
Seriously, why wait for something so 'fancy' to use your nice stuff? Just use your fancy plates for yourselves and enjoy them.

Yeah, we use our Christmas china a pretty good bit. My wife decided she didn't like our china a few years after we got married, but we used it a couple of weeks ago. We've also got several placesettings of these cool dishes that we liked and picked up about 15 years ago. We have four full sets of dishes altogether.

My mom would use the good china/crystal/sterling multiple times during every year. Holidays, birthdays for everybody including grandparents. Kids birthday special family birthday meals were in addition to kids birthday parties, not in place of. Birthday kid got to pick the menu.
