If you're spending that much for the wedding, then a card would be appropriate. When my wife and I got married, while we did as much as we could to alleviate costs (paying for items ourselves, finding best deals for things), we didn't really expect our bridesmaids or groomsmen to get us anything. The efforts they were making for the wedding were more than enough.
Additionally, we had people travelling in for the event, so we understood that the added cost of attending would keep some people from buying gifts. I think any bride and groom who assume otherwise really need a reality check.
MysticCat - I agree, the bride and groom should be happy that people came for the event and be satisfied with any gift they get.
