My mom wrote down what every relative gave me (so she didn’t give less to their kids). Maybe an old Irish Catholic thing? She grew up poor, most of my dads family were pretty well off.
But I doubt your mother discussed amounts given with others.
It would be totally a horse of a different color IMO for a mother of a bride to mention something such as, my daughter mjkacmom received the most gorgeous lace tablecloth as a wedding gift, so and so brought it back from Belgium or her godmother handcrocheted the lace. That's more a conversation piece and I don't find that gauche or rude.
