  Ok. so for Grad Alley...which is just a block party for seniors and there guests...we get 3 (one for you and two guests)

  For Commencement we get 7 (again one for me and six guests)

  And Graduation there is 5 guest tickets.

   

  My mom keeps inviting people...AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

  I almost died from stressing over the ticket issue in hs, since my family is split and both sides expected their fair share of tickets. I threatened to skip graduation over the whole stupid fight. My dad, stepmother, and Nana ended up bowing out, which greatly upset me.
  
  Trust me...it's not worth stressing over! It's your big day; don't let tickets spoil it!
  
  Are there marshals at your graduation/commencement? Do they get a guest ticket of any sort? Ours did, and I know some seniors made bargains to snare those for "extra" guests. Maybe you could try that?

  Oh, and in college (I do know you're graduating college, not hs ;-)) it was the other side of my family who skipped. :-p But it's the same hassle! I hope you can escape the stress and just enjoy it all. :)

  my daughter is graduating high school next month,  if it should happen to rain, we get 2 tickets.  that means even my other kids wouldn't be able to attend.
   
  i hope the weather holds!
   
  i say just immediate family; then a party somewhere for the rest!

  Infernal: My family consists of my mom and my sister. But my cousins want to come, distant family wants to go. And that would be fine...except my mom (wonderful woman that she is) keeps inviting random people. We don't have marshals, so I've been asking people who aren't going if I can have their tickets.

  Secret: I hope the weather holds too, as commencement is held outside. EEEKKK! One more thing to worry about. My mom keeps inviting people. So it not that people WANT to come, they don't even know until she mentions it. The woman is driving me crazy. But I love her, and I'm her first born so this is a big deal for her, particularly since my sister's college graduation isn't for another 9 years. So I just keep trying to haggle tickets...I don't know how to burst her bubble, you know?
