I personally think a cheque or a gift card is just fine - the couple can still figure out how they want to spend it on something that’s useful to them. One of my cousins got married last year (mixed couple, he married an American girl) & they had a gift registry the way gora weddings do, because that’s what her mother wanted but because they knew his family would be more likely to prefer to give money instead they also listed Target gift cards with the registry information. The cards can be bought & then used online which was much easier for everyone than handling cash at the wedding events & worrying about losing it.
Oh dear 
That’s one other thing gora weddings have a different etiquette for - its considered inappropriate to bring the gift to the actual wedding, you are supposed to send it to the couple’s new home after the wedding so they can open it in private. That way they also don’t have to worry about transporting it from the hall, or the risk of someone breaking or stealing the items.
