What Jen and I really want is for people to come to our wedding and bless us with their presence—not necessarily presents. Of course we completely understand if people can't come to the wedding, if you are one of the people who received an invitation and yet can't come, just know that we wanted you to know that you are important to us.

One thing that I've been asked (or, my Mom has been asked anyway) is whether or not we are ok with receiving money as a gift.

If people feel like they must give a gift, then we will be happy with whatever they give us. Since Jen is moving to New York with me, we might not move all of our stuff right away so we'd be fine receiving money.

There's my long answer to the short question of whether we'd be ok receiving money as a gift.
