Cash Fund Registry- Tacky?

I told my step-FMIL that we're doing a "New Home Fund" on our knot website, on top of little registries from Target and Bed, Bath, & Beyond. She said people think it's tacky when people ask for money for their wedding.

But that's why we're doing it on our website, so we don't bluntly ask for it. We've also lived in an apartment together for 4 years so we really don't need many things. We still did those actual registries, but with small less expensive things because I know some people are traditional and just need to buy a gift. We will appreciate anything we get.
What do you guys think of cash funds? I've tried telling my step-FMIL that this is just how things are done now.

Your comparing apples to oranges here. People think they are buying you an experience to do something when that's not what's happening. So what happens when Aunt Susie says how did you like the zip lining adventure we purchased that you actually never went on.

This isn't about an experience- the cash fund is to go towards a new home, which I stated in my post.

I wasn't commenting on your post. I was commenting to a person that said they were doing a honey fund. Although I do agree, it is tacky to ask for cash. Any wedding that I've been to that didn't have a registry, I've assumed they wanted cash and I was write.
