I'm kind of embarrassed to put that on our invites, but we are having a destination wedding and don't know how we will transport boxed gifts back to L.A. I really need help with this issue. Any suggestions on wording. I read another wedding blog who suggested the wording"gift regstritry @...Red Envelopes are welcome. Maybe we could say Purple Envelopes Welcome since our colors are purple?Help!
Re: How do you ask guests for cash gifts?
My suggestion is to simply save some extra money for shipping. You can always box items together. Also many guests will simply have the gift sent to your address or just bring cash. No one wants to lug a gift with them when they travel.

We did not do this, but we still received mostly cash or gift cards as gifts at our Vegas wedding. The people who gave us actual gifts shipped them to our home and it was nice to have something other than cash. To be honest, I can't even tell you what we spent most of the cash on with different things that came up at the end of our trip.
