Flatware 101

Flatware (aka silverware) is an essential part of your dinnerware. Make sure you register for high-quality flatware that will last you many years to come.

Editor's Tips

-- Consider getting two sets of flatware; one to match your china and one for everyday use.

-- Make sure to register for the entire set of flatware. You will want at least 12 place settings plus all of the serving pieces.
