Don't have a wedding registry, then guests will take the hint to gift cash or checks.

There's no good way to ask for money. Just skip the registry.

Just don't register. People will get the hint and gift cash. If someone offers to host you a shower, I'd register for things that could help your trip. If you went with Amazon, I think they have a few gift cards so you could register for gas station ones to help with cost of gas. You could add other RV and camping accessories too.

Don't include anything on your invitations about it, but it's fine to use word of mouth. Let your inner circle (parents, siblings) know your plan and if people ask what to get you they can tell them. And don't make a registry, or only make a very small one.

Thank you1

What a great idea! Thank you!

You don't ever ask for money. Just don't register.

I disagree with the above posters. I come from a culture where it is incredibly rude to come empty handed to a wedding so people rely upon guidance given re gifts or wishing wells.

What we did is include a 'wishing well' poem on our details card so that people were (politely) informed that we did not need physical gifts and preferred monetary contributions.

Unless you specifically KNOW your guests will be baffled regarding what to get, the vast majority of wedding guests know cash/checks are the ideal wedding gift without any direction. I would never go "empty handed" to a wedding, but in our culture/social group, asking for cash -- with a cute poem or otherwise -- is NOT well received. This one is really a "know your crowd" question, but based on the posts on this forum, I think the majority of "crowds" do fine without any suggestions.
