Honestly you just sound upset no one threw a party for you. Don't bring a gift if it is that big a deal to you, I mention it because you seem weirly focused on the money aspect.I know my brother well enough to know that a gift is expected. My thoughts on the gift thing is that they have invited some people that my nephew really has no relationship with. For example, they invited my in-laws (DH's parents) and nephew has no relationship with them, but brother knows they are the kind of people who will come and bring a big check because they are fairly wealthy.
Also, it's the kids grandparents, why wouldn't they invite them even if it's just out of courtesy??
I don't get you at all, it's like you want to find ulterior motives to what is simply a happy celebration about the guy's accomplishment
