When we got married, we registered for (and got) dinner plates, salad plates, pasta bowls, and cereal bowls for 12. At the time, I was insistent that we register for plates, because in my head, that's what you get for a wedding.

Three years later, I'm wondering if perhaps that wasn't the best decision. Our plates are HUGE (12 or 13 inches), and so are the pasta and cereal bowls. We've tried to scale back to 9" plates in an effort to eat smaller portions, and so I now primarily use cheapo plates that I got from Target. I feel badly that we don't use the wedding plates, though!

Anything that you thought you'd like that you find is no longer as useful as you had hoped?
