We were invited to our daughter in law's sister's college graduation party. The wife and I are wondering what a fair amount would be to give as a gift.
Looking for input from the ladies and gentlemen here. We are very close to her and have known her since she was a young teen.

Thanks in advance.


Because son, it is what you are supposed to do.

I’m just taking a wild ass guess, but I would say $100-$500 depending on how close you are.

When my stepdaughter graduates, if she ever does (changed majors twice) I have $1k waiting for her in addition to what her mom wants to get her.

Wouldn't your daughter in laws sister also still be your daughter in law? Confused on how she's both of your daughter in laws?

$100 unless you're super close.

Agree with the $100. I also go to the US Mont website and get a proof silver coin of the graduation year if the person is close.

Yeah, hunnit bucks in a graduation card with a picture of a chimp on it would be my advice. Everybody loves monkey cards.
