Actually, my wife and I felt sorry for the guy since his wife was away in Russia on a research trip (scheduled before the IPO date was set) and they couldn't celebrate as a family. So we snuck over to their house and left a bottle of champagne on the doorstep, along with a note of thanks and congratulations.
