Friendship Day FAQs

Where did Friendship Day actually start?

It was first proposed in 1958 in Paraguay, but it gained global popularity after being unofficially championed in the 1930s by a greeting card company hoping people would celebrate friends the way they celebrated other loved ones. The UN later made it official in 2011, declaring July 30 as International Friendship Day.

Best friends, childhood friends, college roommates, colleagues turned friends, or anyone who’s shown up for you over the years. Friendship Day isn’t limited to just one “best friend” it’s for everyone who’s added value to your life through their friendship.

Yes. Friendships often stretch across cities and countries these days, and a heartfelt message can reach your friend the moment you think of them, even if you can’t be there in person. It’s a simple way to keep the tradition alive despite the distance.

Bring up a specific memory, an inside joke, or a moment they were there for you. Mentioning their name and something unique to your friendship, a shared trip, a nickname, a habit only you two would get. It makes the message land differently than a generic one.
