[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did not register for wedding china, we were in a condo and didn't have space for it. I'm so glad we didn't. I don't know anyone that uses theirs under the age of 55.[/quote]

Granted, I'm 57; but I used ours even when I was under the age of 55.

We have our chosen wedding china - which is dishwasher safe, made sure of that when we chose it.  We use it for holidays or birthdays or when we have guests. also use the bread/butter plates when we have people over for dessert or instead of paper plates for appetizers/snacks.
We also have my mother's "fine china" which is dishwasher safe, though the silver trim around the design is somewhat faded. But it was never "nice" porcelain type china. We use it primarily at Thanksgiving, some birthdays. Whenever we have gravy because it actually has a gravy boat.
We also have a TON of holiday china - we got far more of that for our wedding and subsequent gifts than anything! I've had to get rid of some of it because we have so much we will never have the need to use. Obviously, we only use this for a few weeks over the Christmas holidays. Again, dishwasher safe.

It is definitely an over-abundance; but I find using different sets makes different occasions special and "tradition" memories (ie, "we always used this for birthdays and Thanksgiving!" nostalgia).

All that said, OP. If you don't like or enjoy the china, then don't use it. See if your husband would be ok with keeping a set of 4 to use on certain occasions (and if he's willing to do the washing and drying!) and/or displaying a few pieces for the sentiment and getting rid of the rest.
