I don't think it's rude. When I got married 19 years ago, we put alot of thought into wording a note that was enclosed with our wedding invitations. The note asked for contributions to a "Money Tree", explaining that we needed to buy a new fridge and dining setting. We also explained that if people preferred to give a gift we would be most appreciative of that too.
We'd been living together for three years so we already had most household items. At the wedding reception, we had a Money Tree set up and people could pin their cards to it. There were a couple of people who chose to give gifts, but not many. I think it's quite common these days to ask for money.
