I wouldn't like that approach. Why shouldn't the bride and groom know who gave them what. If you were given a check instead of a bank deposit, you'd know the amount. If you were given a tangible gift instead of money, you'd know the approximate value of that item. Why shouldn't you know the gift amount this way? I don't see any reason to hide the amount of the gift. If someone was particularly generous, I'd want to acknowledge them accordingly. And I'd want to keep that in mind if the opportunity to reciprocate arose in the future.
