If your family 100% truly doesn’t care, then skip it. As @poblob14 says, it is also about your family and others who supported you who want to celebrate that milestone with you. If they do think it is important, then – that is what family’s do. They support each other where they can, whatever form that comes in. Sometimes that means putting on a gown and listening to a speaker for an hour, then walking across a stage. (And you can wear shorts under your gown, no one will know. A nice dress just gets all sweaty – my kids both wore more casual clothes (with nicer shoes) to graduation, then changed afterwards to go out to dinner to celebrate. Also, if you have friends who are graduating, it is nice to have some of the photos that are taken by other friends and family right after the event.
