High School Graduation Party Etiquette?

[Happy Monkey]

Maybe I'm just one of those ice-cream licking public bite takers, but I wouldn't say that a graduation announcement requires attendance or a gift, unless you are very close to the family. Birthdays and weddings are about it.

It's hard to shake the social mores you grew up with. The only people (peversely) it is acceptable to give money to as presents is your own family. usually only applies at a distance from older to younger generations ie Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles who live in different cities. From anyone else it is considered a sign that you don't care.
