Nothing wrong with it, especially if they have a foreign honeymoon planned.

Pretty sure they won't be going on a foreign honeymoon.
Cash is perfect. No worries, - just give them more than $20

I was thinking $150

That's very generous. Knowing how much some of those registered gifts are, I could see as little as 100 being appropriate.

Although I'm not particularly close to the bride because her parents divorced and she grew up at her mother's, I've know the bride's father since 7th grade and our families were very close for many years.
If it were just a casual acquaintance or co-worker $50 would be max for me.

Did you receive a lot of cash gifts when you got married?
Was it mostly cash, personal checks, or gift cards?

im not sure why- but it seems like brides prefer getting presents and grooms prefer getting cash

Cash is always appreciated...there's usually a 'wishing well' or fancy box at the reception to collect the envelopes.

not going to the wedding/reception ... it's out of town and would result in a work conflict

Of course cash is fine. Or, if you know there is some place they really want stuff from (like Home Depot, etc.) gift card works too.
For our wedding we already said on the invite if you want to give a gift just donate to our house fund or to a charity we listed if you don't like giving cash to people.

From someone who's getting married next year, I would prefer cash. Ideally, enough to cover your cost to come to the wedding.
$150 is very generous and I'm sure they'll be happy with that.

Just read you are not even going to the wedding, lol. $150 is baller status then. You betta be the godfather of their first born
Side tangent, I despise registering for shit. It's like, OK let's walk through the store and find all the random bullshit items I don't even need. Such a waste.

I think you're good with that cash, do try sending a nice personalized card with it

most receptions have a box at the front where people can make cash donations.
gift cards are cool. yeah presents althourh great for brides to open and get excited about and women to have fun shopping for - just wind up with tons of crap at their house that they don't need and have to sell on ebay or craigslist to get rid of. It's also good to buy somthing you KNOW one of them has always wanted - a real good surprise is still worth gold (always keep receipts!).

I usually do cash.
100 if not attending.
150 to 250 depending on how close they are to us.

Cash gifts depend on the person, the occasion,their relation to you, and situation in this case. I think it's perfectly ok and they'll probably be happy given the scenario.
A wedding gift is a bit different than say...a birthday gift. Giving money is way more common in weddings than it is for a birthday. Most couples get so much bullshit they never use, so cash is a plus. Birthdays people expect you to put a bit more effort and time into things, and because a person receive less gifts than they do at a wedding, the scrutiny is higher
