| My DC is younger but received an invitation to a party for DC’s friend’s older sibling. I have never seen an invitation listing Zelle and cashapp before. Is this the current trend? |

| A card is enough. |

It is the current trend for Gen Z. Party for an older sibling? Maybe $20? |

| Tacky as hell. |

| Not really. You're not supposed to advertise that a gift is expected. |

+1 for a friend's sibling. Now if celebration was for the friend of your DC, that would require a gift + the card. |

That is really tacky. Low class. I would get them a Walmart gift card - sounds right up their alley. |

| Unbelievably tacky. My kids and their friends are all Gen Z and no one would ever do this. |

Isn't tacky. Trends come and go. Plenty of people have a wedding honeymoon fund or a travel fund in lieu of wedding gifts. |

| If your dc is a teenager, I would give nothing. It's tacky to expect a cash gift from a teen. If they're an adult, they can decide how much to gift to the graduate based on their own income/savings. They were probably only invited to keep the sibling company, anyway. |

| They're probably serving Boone's, Zima and Natty Light at the party. |

| I can only imagine that the gift links are for the adult relatives and adult friends of the graduate. Your child was probably invited to hang out with their friend. |

| We never give any money/presents at graduation parties, and neither do the friends of my kids or their families. Otherwise, you're just trading money/gift cards and it's stupid. |
