Monetary Gifts

My daughter lives in Florida and her fiance lives in Toronto, Canada. After their wedding, they plan on living in the US. Their delima is gifts. They prefer monetary gifts. What is a best way to go about this request? The wedding is being held in Canada.
Thanks.

Let me just say this -- there seems to be two distinct groups on the site.

1. Classy = does not mention gifts or money in invitations or otherwise, no dollar dance, and don`t charge their guests for liquor, etc.

2. Trasy = puts registry information into invites, asks for cash, has "Money Showers" for themselves, has the dollar dance, and has a cash bar.

I am an etiquette expert. I`ve written books on the subject, I have a newspaper column, and am considered an expert in the field. So don`t even bother to argue with me because this isn`t an issue of opinion or `times are changing` etc, this is pure etiquette. I applaud the women on this site who have manners. The rest of you seem to be a bit hopeless.
