You should never ask for money on a wedding invitation. Instead, you should register for a few items as some people would only buy gifts. You could say we have everything we need but you risk not receiving a gift at all.
Monetary gifts are welcome!
In the wedding invitation express that the bride and groom are leaving the country so instead of gifts there will be a 'money tree.' The money tree is easily made (branches) with small clips to hold the wedding cards with the money inside of the card. Be sure to sent thank you cards to each guest, but it is not necessary to mention the amount of money they have given the bride and groom.
yes! it is common for wedding couples to ask instead of gifts. In this day and age there are 1. many people who are living together already and have everything they need. 2. people are getting married later in life . 3. some it is their second wedding. so gifts are not needed and money is better.
When a bride and groom do not want guests to brings gifts on the invitation they can see 'no gifts requested.' If you would rather have money then write in the invitation 'Money Tree.' A Money Tree is a fake tree where the wedding cards with money inside are clipped onto the tree with tiny clips. Some couples prefer this so they can buy the things they need or put the money towards their honeymoon or simply save the money.
It is just fine to give money instead of a gift at a wedding in England. Some couples prefer the money to buy what they want rather than getting duplicate gifts or gifts that do not suit their lifestyle.

When an invitation requests no gifts then you do not bring a gift, but, if you like you could bring a card depending on what the occasion is for.Also you could give some money instead so then they can choose what they want to spend their money on
* No, this is not proper etiquette for anything formal such as wedding, special anniversary, etc. You can register at your favorite stores for gifts you would prefer and this could be put as 'Bridal registry at: (name stores.) If you prefer money then it is acceptable to have what they call a 'Money Tree.' You could put in the invitation 'Money Tree is lieu of gifts.' Some guests will breath a sigh of relief because often people get duplicate gifts. Be careful what the policy is on any gift certificates because some have to be returned to the store in a year and if not, then the certificate is invalid.
It's socially tacky to request money or gift cards. Gifts are meant to be gestures of kindness from the giver, and not made in response to a request for specific things. There is no generally-accepted way to request money in an invitation because it's not socially acceptable. I don't know your situation, but I suggest that you reconsider your approach. If directly asked for suggestions on what you want, it is acceptable to respond with your personal wants, but this should not be proactively broadcast to people.
* Yes, this would be acceptable in today's etiquette and a relief for many guests as it will be easier on them. In your wedding invitation put a money card inside for the convenience of your guests.
People who want money instead of wedding gifts should appreciate any amount the guest can afford. Don't go bankrupt putting more money into the envelope than you can afford. For moderate income people $60 to $100 is normal.
