Monetary gifts

I am having a destination in the state where FH and I grew up.  We did things backwards and own a house with all furnishings and such so registering would be scarce. With traveling, we are not going to be able to bring home gifts, nor do we have room nor want to. Have any of you asked or preferred monetary gifts? If so, how did you word this?

    There's no polite way to ask for gifts, monetary or otherwise. I would personally set up a small registry of upgraded items. Some guests will want to give physical gifts and with no registry, you run the risk of gifts you hate that can't be returned. This way, those who want to give physical gifts can get you something you actually like, and guests will also get the hint you'd appreciate cash (who wouldn't?) If anyone asks, you can say, "We don't really need household items; we are saving up for _____" and that also gets the message across. But don't put in writing ANYWHERE that you want cash.
