aw, those are cute :P a registry is suppose to represent what you two want and need and you need pot holders! who cares that they are cute little animals! your mother needs to calm it down a bit. a registry can always be updated, it does not have to be done at once.
as for the pan question, we registered for those 12 set pack (so 6 pans since the lids count). it was huge...then my momma got it for us early and claimed it was a Christmas present :O goober. but anyway, those are all the pans we registered for and we are doing great with them 14 months later.
unless you are going to be hosting 42 people dinner parties with 12 different courses, i do not think a new couple needs THAT many pots and pans. Cabinet space is limited.
i would also register for a box set. individual ones seem to cost WAY more.

You should choose items for your registry that you need to set up house after you're married. If you think you'll need 3 pots/pans, then add 3. If you think you'll need 10, add a dozen. Nobody can make that decision except you and your fiance. Your mother may want to offer advice, but this decision is yours. Thank her for her help, but then do what you need to do.
Also remember when you're putting things on your registry to add items in all different price ranges. Some guests will want to get more expensive items, some guests might not have as much to spend. The potholders are cute and would be the perfect give from someone who wants to put together a gift basket of smaller items for you.
Congratulations on the wedding!

Is your mom registering for herself? I think not. This is not the time to please others. The registry is for you and your soon to be husband. If you want animal potholders, put them on the registry! You will be the one using them, not your mom. I suggest doing the registry with your fiance, or a close friend if your mom is a little to invasive with her advice.
As long as you are registering for items you really need, and listing items from several price ranges, you are doing fine. As far as pots and pans go, make sure you have the basics. They usually sell them in sets, so you will have a pan for just about every need.
Bed Bath and Beyond has a nice list of stuff that people usually register for. Even if you aren't registering at that store, you could still print the list off of their site to guide you through the registry.
Good luck!
Just saw the pics...I love the frog :)

I'm not sure what you put on the list because you state pots and pans,but then you state silicon-like animal holders??? Your mom is trying to be sensible and see that you get a variety of stuff that you need, but she was very hurtful in the way she said it...unnecessary!!!! Bottom line is that it is your bridal registry and you can do what you want. Your getting married. It's time to cut the apron strings and stick to your guns.

I think their cute!
As far as having too much on your registry, it isn't possible! For my baby shower I recieved everything on my registry + some (and I didn't even have a huge shower)!
Most brides register 2-3 places with many different options in each store so I would just smile and nod when your mom offers advice but let it go in one ear and out the other!

I would just ignore her!! You register for what YOU and your fiance WANT and NEED. Not what she thinks is proper!! If she brings it up again, just smile and say nothing.
Those are cute! Keep them on the registry and I bet you'll get them. Lots of people would like to buy some cute little thing like that to go along with a gift they bought!

Your guests' budgets will vary. So you need to register for things at a variety of prices. I think it is good to include the animal holders. Grandma may want to spend $250 on your wedding gift. Cousin Emma has 4 kids and won't be able to spend much. You need to include something on the registry for everyone's budget. I think you are doing just fine.

Let your personalities show through. When your mom comes over give her regular oven mitts to wear.
She may be a bit embarrassed that you would have that on a fancy registry but I think its a fun way to get across that not only do you like tradition but also be a little creative when selecting a gift!

Your mom is wrong. It is better to have a variety of items and price ranges on your registry. That way guests have more fun choosing something!

Ask her who's registry it is. Tell her she can put whatever she wants and take of whatever she wants when its HER name on the registry list. But since it is your and your fiance's she should butt out and let you choose what you would like.
If she doesn't like what you and your fiance put on the list that is her problem not yours.
