Cash is tacky to some, but totally appropriate to others. In some cultures, cash is the preferred item to give. Chinese weddings don't always have gifts and registries (unless they are western born/raised), and lai-see (money in red envelopes, the same thing one gives out during New Year's) is the preferred item. As for actual gifts, I agree with other posters that the amount you spend should be based on your relationship with the bride and/or groom. If the bride is say, your best friend since you two were babies, then by all means spend more than if you have only known her for, say 2 years (and aren't very close).
