Okay..
I try to give a gift off the registry but sometimes I opt for the cash route too.
On a side note- My brother got married three years ago and I think in total he got about $6K in cash/checks/etc. Seeing as how there were only like 200 people invited that was A LOT. But they didn't get a ton off their registry. So I guess that is why.

Plus, if you give cash as a gift, and the couple wants to buy something that they didn't receive from their registry, a lot of places (like Pottery Barn, where I work) will offer some type of "registry closing" discount. Your gift of cash just goes that much further!
