Party invite - gift question

We got invited to a party tomorrow and the invite says "to celebrate birthdays and graduations" - they have 3 kids. One is graduating, 2 have birthdays and the dad has a birthday. The kids are like 14, 10 and 8 I wanna say....

What should I get? Would a $25 Target gift card be ok? Or maybe for the oldest one (a girl) - a GAP card or something like that?

Gift cards are the way to go. Target is fine for all of them. The one that graduates can get electronics or dorm stuff.

Since it seems to be a group celebration, maybe something like movie passes, Friendly's or an Applebee's gift card for them to use as a family. Another idea is a movie basket or beach / pool basket. Include something for each one of them.

Do you know them well? I would do wine for the dad, and gift cards for the kids, but maybe a different one based on their hobbies/favorite stores. So if they like electronics--best buy. Girl--favorite store. Or if they are sporty-modells or REI. Something like that.

ETA: I just read that the party is tomorrow...CVS and grocery stores usually have big displays of all different kinds of gift cards that you can get in one place.
