We use pfaltzgraff everyday. We've had it for almost 20 years! I have my set of china, my grandparents set and DH's grandparents set. We've never used the good stuff!

I put no, we use our every day ones... But we're kind of in-between. They're nice hefty stoneware dishes and they weren't cheap, but we use them everyday. So no bone china or crystal (those really aren't our style, though they are very pretty!) or anything like that. Thankfully DH has only broken 1 mug in the 5-6 years that we've had them. (Knock on wood! haha)

We have both crystal and china. The china is buried, but we have service for 8 of the crystal in the kitchen cupboard and use pieces of it daily.

I have several levels of dish sets LOL! I use all the levels for various functions. The same goes for my glassware. What I do not have various sets of is flatware.

Burn the good candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion...Today IS special.

I have formal and everyday dishes. I use the formal dishes for all holidays and whenever friends come over for dinner. I have 2 friends that ask me NOT to use the formal dishes. I also have china which I use all the time, even more often than the formal dishes. I don't have silver, but that is by choice. I don't like sterling flatware. I just have fancier stainless. we use fancy stainless as our everyday flatware. Dh is very picky when it come to flatware. I picked out several patterns that I liked and let him make the final choice.

We have a really nice set of china but it is displayed in the china cabinet and we never use it. We have a set of Corelle that we use all the time. That way if the kids drop it no big deal.

Nope, I am way too practical for that. We use the same dishes (not all matched even) everyday.

No. I do have a Disney Christmas theme full setting (From dishes to gravy boat) that has seen the light of day.....Once in 5 years

We use Corelle for our every day dishes, but I have a set of pottery dishes that were custom made for me. I use them on special occasions.

Not me. Too much stuff that we don't really need put in boxes and I'm trying to stay away from that. I let my SIL have the family dishes -- it's more of her thing.
