Where Conversation Meets Comfort

"Shared Wishes" is a signature birthday experience designed for co-parents whose child’s birthday falls on an exchange day. Rather than letting this moment feel rushed or emotionally tense, we invite both parents to arrive one hour before the scheduled exchange for a brief, shared celebration.

​Singing “Happy Birthday” together as a united front, even during a co-parenting exchange, can have a powerful impact on a child’s emotional well-being, showing them that even in separation, they are still deeply loved by both. It creates a rare, emotionally safe moment of unity that can be cherished for years.

• Receiving a gift from each parent in the same space affirms that the child matters to both sides. It eliminates competition and reminds the child they don’t have to choose between their parents—they are celebrated by both.

• ​A peaceful, joyful birthday memory becomes a powerful emotional anchor. Even brief positive interactions between parents can ease a child’s anxiety around transitions and create moments they’ll hold onto with confidence.

• A photo provides a visual reminder that togetherness is still possible. It becomes a keepsake for the child, helping them feel valued, loved, and grounded in both parents’ presence—even if only for that shared celebration.
