Thanks to you and everyone else for the responses.
Like I said, I wasn't asking to be critical -- it's interesting how customs can vary so much.
In my experience, cash is pretty much unheard of. One person -- an old family friend (who, perhaps notably, lived in another part of the country) -- gave us a large check when we got married, but otherwise no cash. I've never known of it being done around here otherwise, and I have the sense that many if not most people in these parts would consider cash a strange if not inappropriate wedding gift.
Of course, seated-meal receptions are also somewhat unusual around here.
