What is an appropriate amount to give for a HS graduation party?

My best friend of 30 yrs. is giving her only daughter a HS graduation party at her house. I want to put money in an envelope, but I'm not sure how much to put. I'm not cheap, but I am self supporting residing in a mobile home park, living pay check to pay check and finding it rough to make ends meet, especially with an 84 mile round trip commute to work (the gas prices are really hurting my pocket money). Would $25 be too cheap? I think kids of today expect a lot more.

    $25 is fine. The graduate and her mother should both be appreciative of your efforts.

    Etiquette does not require that you spend more than you are able for a gift.

    No, that is a good amount. They'll appreciate it.
