You can always just do a very small simple registry at one store.
Maybe suggest having like a recipe shower were everyone brings a recipe instead of a gift?
My cousin had showers for her second marriage but 3rd wedding. The one shower was thrown by his family and friends which I get why they'd want to do something since it was his first wedding. The 2nd shower was thrown by our mom's friends and they did it at a resturant and everyone paid for their own food/drinks except they covered the bride's meal for the night. So it was nice because no one had to spend a lot of time or money on shower food/decorations.
I think that both a shower and registering are perfectly okay because this is the first time that you and your fiance are getting married. (If you were remarrying an ex, it might be a different story.) I'd request a simple shower--I think both of the ideas above are wonderful.
Don't go overboard with the registry--only register for the things that you need or want. (i.e. don't get china just because it's on the checklist at a store.)
ETA: That's the same registry advice I give EVERYONE, I get frustrated when I see people registered for way more than they could ever get from their wedding guests... It has nothing to do with a second wedding here!
I definitely think that both registering and having showers are perfectly acceptable for a 2nd wedding - enjoy!

I am getting married (for the 2nd time) in June. I didn't want to have a wedding, but my fiance hasn't been married before and his parents wanted a wedding, so I agreed to a small, intimate ceremony at their house. Now, 2 showers are in the works. I politely declined offers for the showers since I thought it was poor etiquette to have showers for a 2nd marriage, but they insist and say they wouldn't have suggested it if they thought it was wrong. What do you think?
Oh...and they've asked me if I've registered? I think this would be poor etiquette also. I don't people to think I'm greedy or anything.
Advice??
