My niece and nephew graduated this month (out of state) and sent announcements. I had planned to send each a little money but we've been hit with all sorts of expenses lately (car problems, doctor bills, etc.) and I have absolute NO extra money. Every bit of it is budgeted. Is it ok to just send a card that says congrats...we love you? |

Absolutely. It is TRULY the thought that counts. If you don't see them or talk to them very often, you might consider writing each of them a letter and enclosing it with the card. You could express interest in their future plans, etc. It might be a bit more "personal" than just signing a card and your caring for them will come across even if you don't have the funds for a gift. |

That is just fine! They will understand. And a card is better than nothing. Sorry to hear you are having a tough time, hope it works out soon! |

Totally ok! Announcements have turned into gift fishing lately so it's perfectly ok not to send one, but just to recognize the accomplishment. |

Of course! Good wishes are really what's behind all gifts anyway. And, I'd rather get a card than nothing because at least you know the sender cares. |
