Re: Just curious how you ladies handled...
My cousin just had her shower this past weekend and she responded to the dupes pretty much the same way she responded to the originals. She was nice about it which is weird b/c she's a sarcastic chick. She's was very good tho.

Re: Just curious how you ladies handled...
pretend like you don't remember you got it? 'wow i always wanted this!' then the next duplicate....'WOW I REALLY WANTED THIS'
BTW, I don't understand how duplicates even happen. When you go to the store, don't know you to make sure it is taken off the registry and marked fulfilled?? If something is fulfilled already, you DONT buy another one anyway!??!

Re: Just curious how you ladies handled...
hopefully your guests used your registry and didn't buy duplicates.
but if they did, just say something like 'i do love these enough to own two' or 'awesome, i can build that second kitchen now' .... or just ignore it completely
good luck

Re: Just curious how you ladies handled...
thankfully the only duplicates we got were sent to the house in advance! and it wwas luggage, and we realizes we could use them both! so it worked out fine
as to how it happened...one person went to the store the same day someone bought it online. how crazy!

Most BBBs will... if you push the issue. The big duplicate we got was my Margaritaville maker (as for how we ended up with 2, that's a long story for another time. ) But anyway, I returned one and they wanted to give me store credit which would've been fine... but it was the week before the wedding and I was broke so I said 'The woman I registered with told me we would get cash back on returns from the registry.' He asked where I registered and it was the same store so he didn't push it any further and gave me the !

I think I'm going to act like I don't remember. If someone says anything, I'll just say 'I'll put it in my other bathroom/living room/etc..'
