"This is so awesome. You guys are so thoughtful!"
Two showers, ONE registry. Make it large enough so that there is enough for people from BOTH showers to choose from. If you do it this way, you virtually eliminate the risk of double gifts.
That happened to me and my two breadboxes. Smile, thank the guests and just say, "You and Mrs. Smith simply have excellent taste!" or "Great minds think alike, don’t they?"
Hopefully, they each included a gift reciept and you can return one of them.
All the Best,

if you do get a repeat gift playfully ask, "Ok, who still has the receipt?"
Wait til the laughter dies down and then add "seriously"
That happened to me, I ended up with 3 of the same Pyrex bake-ware sets (anyone need a glass measuring cup lol). I just made a joke about people dropping hints that I really needed to learn to bake lol. It happens all the time so just smile and laugh it off.
lol just say thank you and move on. If there is a gift receipt with it, take it back later and get something else you wanted. We got literally 7 crock pots at one wedding shower bc the ladies didn’t tell the store to mark it off. We just smiled and said thank you. We gave my mom one bc only one had a gift receipt. we still have 6 crock pots
