Well, NY tends to be different in terms of weddings I guess. Everyone gives money and the general rule of thumb is you're supposed to cover the cost of your plate at the reception, and give a gift on top of that. It's not unheard of for people to inquire, directly or indirectly, how much is being spent per head at the reception, or for a member of the wedding party to offer that informationThat is true. Customs to vary. This is, however New York. USA. My opinion (which is simply that) stands.
I think there's nothing wrong with asking for a cash gift, it's a matter of finding the most tactful way of doing it.
