Not sure how my 2nd registry should be set up. I registered at BRU and Target. BRU is my main one. And I only registered at Target bc DH family lives 2 hours away, but there isn't a BRU near them and 2 Targets. Do I duplicate everything, like gear and big stuff, or just keep it simple? Hope I'm making sense.
I would try to keep separate stuff on the different registries.. otherwise you're going to have to manually manage both and/or return a lot of things when the shower is over. That's just my 2 cents though. It may be easier on your family if you have duplicates.
I just had to make this same decision. My main registry is on Amazon and I decided to do a second one at Target for people locally. I didn't duplicate anything I didn't mind having duplicates of. So they are mostly separate. I did end up moving some things from the Amazon registry to the Target one, but the Amazon one still has a lot more stuff on it.
I registered for bigger stuff at BRU such as Pack & Play, stroller, high chair etc (they seem to have a better selection on these things anyway) and then all the other stuff at Target.
I have two registries. One at BBB and the other at BRU. BBB is my main one. BRU had some things that we wanted, but were not able to get at BBB. We don't have any repeats at the two stores.

This! Most of my guest made purchases from Target since the BRU is a bit further away and very few of them had small children. That was fine since we mainly put stuff on the registry we wanted to get discounted after the shower.
I duplicated pretty much everything. I will prob keep watch on them and update as people start buying but we figured duplicates can easily be exchanged.
