Disposable tableware has its place. If I am having less than six people over or really want to show off the food, only the real deal works. However I plan to use disposable items for Thanksgiving. I will be having a large group; including two three year olds...real china is a no go. Also my fiancé’s mom has RA, so the bonding while washing dishes isn't necessarily a good thing.

I will be getting married in the next year so this strikes a chord. I have always found registries self centered unless you are really young and broke. My fiancé and I are in our mid-twenties and still broke college students, but we have the basics. I would love camping gear, but I don't need it and therefore I can slowly buy it myself. I can't fathom asking for specific art pieces. We will likely register at a few charities. I will buy a $50 Heath plate when I have earned enough myself to splurge, until then I think it is a perfect way to balance out what is a very self-absorbed celebration.
