From the quoted article:

6. Is it in poor taste to hand an envelope containing a check to the bride or groom during the reception?

Generally, a gift of cash or a check is acceptable and, for the most part, welcomed. "I don't know of any bride or groom turning down a check," says Krecke. Most couples will put either the best man or a parent in charge of receiving and holding onto checks at the wedding.

Who cares about this Kreke person. I have been to a million weddings and never heard of this. There is always a table for gifts and monetary gifts.

Card with at least $100 in it. $200 if you bring a +1. Absolute minimum. More if you can afford it.

Its a hassle if everybody brings physical gifts to a reception. Nothing more. You're there trying to get out late at night and have to fit everything into a car. If you live nearby, not a huge deal. If you're out of town it can be a huge deal. Its easier for the bride and groom if you mail it to them, or give it to them at another time. Not the end of the world.
