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.

Sherene, there is no good way to go about requesting money as a gift. It`s simply not appropriate to request any sort of gift, regardless if it`s a toaster or money. A wedding invite should never include registry information or requests for money. It`s not considered proper etiquette by most standards. I say "most" because there are some very trashy people on this site who opt to do "Money Showers" "Dollar Dances" and put registry information on their invites along with requests for money. These few, tasteless, tacky, rude, inappropriate individuals must have ate paint chips as children to ever think that it would be acceptable to behavior in this manner with regards to a wedding.
