Are they expecting an RSVP?

It’s a graduation party that he was invited to, not the actual graduation. Are you for real? You do not invite a friend who moved away 10 hours to the actual graduation. And no, you aren’t required to reciprocate.

It’s ok that your feral

I think it was a nice gesture to say IF you are in the area, you are welcome to attend the grad party. I would RSVP to the party and send a card to the graduate. If you want to send a gift, send a check or a food gift card for the graduate.

I would have DS send him a card/email/social media post and share what he plans to do after HS and ask his friend about their plans. Maybe they are heading to nearby colleges.

I would not send a gift since the friend either doesn't reciprocate back which seems awkward, or just sends DS $50 in return, which seems pointless.

You don’t make any sense. It’s not ok that you’re stupid.

It's an invitation to a party - of course you RSVP. I don't think they are expecting you to come. Send your regrets, say thank you, and consider sending a card or gift.

Why not go? There must be a close enough airline to make the commute much shorter. Get a hotel, sounds like a nice time and it’s nice to see an old friend.

You sound feral. I said you don’t have to reciprocate. Not that you don’t RSVP. lol. Do you know what reciprocate means?! In this case, it means you don’t have to invite someone jsut because they invited you.

FWIW I did actually fly several states away to attend my lifelong BFF's graduation ceremony because she was valedictorian and I hadn't seen her in a couple of years. It was fun! But certainly not expected.

You do. Unless you want to cause offense.
