Decide the date and the care plan
Check which home has the child on the birthday and whether any change is being requested. Make the request early enough to answer without turning it into a surprise at the next handoff.
Keep the celebration manageable
Agree who is arranging the party, inviting guests, and handling transport. Separate celebrations can be a practical option; a joint celebration is not a test your family has to pass.
Talk about costs and gifts
Confirm any shared budget before booking. If coordinating gifts would help, compare plans directly rather than asking the child to carry the discussion between homes.
Add the birthday and care arrangements
CoFam can show a child’s birthday on the calendar when that setting is enabled. Enter any agreed care change separately and record shared party costs as expenses.
Does a birthday automatically override the usual schedule?
No. Use your agreed arrangement and record any exception explicitly.
Can a birthday be hidden from the calendar?
CoFam includes a birthday visibility setting for the child’s profile.
