Everyone has different circumstances and has to make decisions that best works for them. In our case, 5 grandchildren who are now out of college, all graduated without us attending such functions. Would we have loved to attend? Yes, of course but... if just couldn't happen financially as well as some other minor issues. Our grandchildren fully understood and were very grateful that we in turn were able to give them a cash gift that surely came in handy for them at the time.
