I agree completely. If you weren't on the original guest list by NAME, they won't have your address for the thank you letter. Of course they can get it from Mr. Pi Phi, but still.... If I gave cash, I would almost feel like I was "paying" for my plate at the reception. That's just me though.
However, I try and keep a couple of simple, classic gifts on hand for just this type of occasion. Or if I've forgotten to get something off the registry. Tiffany has several things that are quite reasonably priced and classic. Something that most brides would be pleased to receive.
