How many items are on your registry?

I am wondering if I have too much, or too little and would like to compare to what you all have. 

I am having three showers... A work shower, a shower that my side is throwing us, and a shower that my H's side is throwing us.  The work shower will probably be about 15-20 people.  I invited about 40 people to my side's shower, with about 20-25 showing, and about 40 ppl are invited to H's side's shower, with about 20-25 showing.

I currently have 77 items on my registry, with about 10 being breast feeding stuff, and another 30 items being small things. My other registry (Pottery Barn Kids) has 4 items, 2 of which were already purchased.

My family & friends are ones to go off registry only, or give gift cards.  Should I add more stuff, or just keep as is?  BTDT Mom's what are your suggestions?

  • I have 2 registreis and each one has about 40 items on it. I am also having 3 showers, but was uncomfortable putting breastfeeding supplies on them for some reason. We decided to register for things baby will need as he gets older too, cups, spoons, sippy
  • We doubled-up on some of the things on our registry to make it more convenient for our shower-goers. Without the doubled items, we are around 50-some-odd items. More than anything else, I feel that people will give gift cards, so I figure I can get what I

  • General rule that I've heard is 4 items per person, gives plenty of choices and if someone wants to do a basket of little things it doesn't leave everyone with a ton of pricey options. Personally, I had 45 people so 4 things per person sounded ridiculous

  • We have about 100 between our two registries. We have about 40-50 people coming to our shower, plus we added stuff to remind ourselves to get it/ have it available for the completion coupon.

  • I would put some more on.  I doubled on shampoo, lotion, and baby powder, stuff you will use and won't mind a lot of.

  • I think I've only got 20 things on mine but I'm only having one shower and not may people will be there I don't think (I'm not a huge fan of super large gatherings, especially when I'm the person of honor, I get anxious...) so i'm hoping that'll be fine.

    I have about a hundred, even though I'm having a small shower. For me, the registry was in large part a way for me to keep organized and keep a list of what I want/need, so it's no big deal to me if a lot of it doesn't get purchased. I'd say about 20 o
