You are under no obligation to send a gift to a graduate or a wedding you do not attend. I always send a card - if I attend a wedding, I get a gift. If I was close to the graduate, I send a gift. My rule of thumb for sending my daughter's graduation announcements is that I send them to people who would be happy to hear she has graduated. She doesn't expect any gifts, and in fact was pleasantly surprised when she received some.
