Buff Family Q&A: Celebrating your student’s birthday

We asked Buff families to share how they celebrate their student’s birthday while they are at college. Read their responses below!

“By sending them an awesome birthday care package with birthday decorations, homemade goodies and special treats from home!”

“When we were in Boulder to move our son in, I shopped for gift cards at local restaurant and hair cut shops. Then I mailed them along with snacks for his September birthday. He loved it!”

“I have ordered a birthday cake delivered. Boulder Bakes is adept at delivering to dorms or off campus housing.”

“Have him come home and either make a nice dinner or take him out wherever he wants. Hang out together for the weekend. Or if during the week we go up to see him and celebrate!”

“We send a care package and order a cake to be delivered to their dorm with plates and forks to accommodate a small gathering!”

“I send my student a birthday party in a box, complete with their favorite cake mix, balloons (to blow up) and confetti! Then fill in with their favorite things.”

“We usually book her favorite restaurant in Boulder and arrange a birthday cake as a surprise!”
