Can I Return Duplicate Wedding Gifts?

If by chance you received two of the same items, it is okay to return or exchange one of them if they were both purchased from the store where you registered for gifts. If you can’t determined whether or not they came from the store where you registered, then I think it’s safe to recycle or donate the gift as long as it’s a gift where extras would not come in hand. For example, you can never have enough bed linens and towels. Whereas you want need two of the newest George Foreman grilling machines. Lastly, you should not mention that you received duplicates to the givers, rather just proceed to send them a thank you note as you would for all others who gave you a gift (Forden and Finello, 2004:165).
