I wanted to get some advice on how I should word a thank you note.

We had our wedding shower this weekend, and my FI's aunt told him that they got us something that someone else had gotten us. Theirs was in the mail. We will probably get it this week. She told my FI to feel free to return it.

I am not sure to write the thank you note when they know it is being returned. Do I mention that in the note?

I am probably over thinking this, but if anyone is wiling to give some advice, I appreciate it.

    Agree. Thank her for the gift. Say you can't wait to use it for XYZ. Write something similar to whomever gave you the other one. They don't need to know which one you returned.

    I would add something about thank you for thinking us during this special time of our lives.

    I would just say how you plan to use the gift, same as you would if you had only received one.  I would still think of both givers when using the gift, even if it was a duplicate and I returned one of them.  

    Other Knotties please correct me-- is that misleading?

    I'm in a similar situation and worry specifically because the two that bought the same thing are in the same circle, so I could invite them to the same BBQ and be using the bowls they "both" got me even though I had to exchange one.

    If they won't be in the same room with you and the gift at any point, I'd thank them for what they got you, you'll still probably think of both givers when you use the gift.  If they may, well I'll have to get back to you ;)

    This is how I would approach it too.
