It reads, it part, " For those of you who have yet to buy us a gift, please note that our registry has been completed. Etiquette requires that your cash gift must at least cover your dinner. We paid $29.00 a plate, so each couple at minimum should give at least $60.00. Also, please note that we are having a money tree to help pay our honeymoon expenses. Thanks."
My husband has been begging me not to give them a copy of Emily Post's Etiquette as a gift. Sadly for him, it's already been purchased..I just don't know if I'm mean enough to give it to them.

Not only do I think they so obviously NEED an etiquette book, but I'd be tempted to include a note stating that you spent $80 on the book, so she owes you $20.
OR, you could hide money inside the book, and wait to see if she ever notices it. FWIW, new bills work the best (yes, it's been done).
