I haven't had my shower yet. But I would just smile and say thank you to both givers. Chances are the givers will probably joke about getting you the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
this happened to me two or three times at my shower. teapot, griddle, cake stand. I was excited enough to be receiving gifts anyway, so I thanked them just like anyone else. In all likelihood, the guest is kind of embarrassed or slightly anxious about your reaction, so a normal attitude seems appropriate. "Oh wow - thanks so much. I just love _____, it is so _____."
Really? Yikes, it seems so hard to fake it, but maybe they weren't even paying attention the first time you opened it... so probably good call. I mean what else can you do except be gracious. I'm just worried about it!!
First, its great that they used the registry, props to them for that, just say thank you in the same way to both guests, don't make a big deal out of it, don't want them to feel bad, and hey how come your peeking at what you got, supposed to be a surprise.. hehe
Thank each guest generously, as though they were totally different gifts. Chances are, one or both of the guests will offer to exchange it for you, or present you with a gift receipt, etc. afterwards, apologizing. Of course, assure them that you don't mind, and thank them again.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
What happens if you are at your shower and you open up two of the same gifts? I just noticed that our registry says that two people bought us our knife sets. They're pretty expensive, and I'm happy to return one for cash (BBB YAY!) but I also feel bad if at the shower I open that nice of a gift twice! Hopefully at least one will be a wedding present so we'll be in private when we open it... but any thoughts? Anyone have this happen?? Thanks!
