  As long as the bride and groom are different, I don't think the rest of it matters all that much.
  
  You are over thinking this.

  I wouldn't worry about it too much, especially since you have different colors. 
  
  If possible I might not serve the same main dish... but if they have a specialty that is amazing guests probably won't mind eating it twice

  This is really not a big deal. If it was a week apart instead of 6 I would worry about it more but it's not. Honestly, after six weeks I usually don't remember what people had as centerpieces unless they were spectacular.

  I really wouldnt worry about it. If anything everyone will know where the restrooms are, and how to get there. Bonus!

  In order to make it different, you'll have to see first what she has/does first. I know you know her colors but other than that, do you know the details of her wedding? I think you're reading into this too much, but I'll entertain you.
  
  Use different centerpieces. Use some that are non traditional or unique like: mason jars, lanterns, ect. Do you guys like to read? Use stacks of books with something on top. Use long extended branches instead of flowers.
  
  Obviously different color linens. You could opt for textured linens. That certainly gives a different/unique feel. Use chivari chairs (if she doesn't.) Use drapery or chandeliers over the dance floor. (My friend had chandeliers and it looked really nice.) Order a personalized decal for the dance floor. Use uplighting around the room. Uplighting totally changes the feel of a room.
  
  Serve different food. Have a "signature" drink. Have a wedding band if she has a DJ.
  
  Hope those get you started.

  The most suggestions I can think of are:
  
  Use different colors
  Have a different menu (main course/cake flavor and design)
  Different centerpieces (if she uses flowers, you use candles or something else)
  Have different hightlight songs (first dance, etc)
  
  Other than that, it will still be special and memorable for all because they are coming to celebrate your wedding!  I doubt they will be comparing.

  My cousins (siblings) both had their receptions at the same place. They were a few years apart and I was younger at their weddings (I think 8 or 9 and 13?), but looking back at it, it doesn't bother me at all. Think of the convenience to your guests - many of them will already know how to get there!
  
  As PPs said, I think different colors and centerpieces will make it different enough. Maybe try a different room setup if that's an option. Other than that, I really wouldn't worry about it!
