And to celebrate such a wonderful relation (I know every day with friends is special) but still you need a day where you can actually name a day and make your friends feel special. And it is usually celebrated on first Sunday of August, which is considered a national holiday. This year it will be celebrated on 2nd August.  And this festival is basically celebrated by tying a friendship band on your friend’s wrist, and exchanging gifts, partying and a lot more.

Friendship day was originally founded by Hallmark in 1919. It was intended to be celebrated as  a day for people to celebrate their friendship by sending each other cards, gifts,  but by 1940 the market had started to dry up, and eventually it died out completely. However, in 1998 Winnie the Pooh was named the world’s Ambassador of Friendship at the United Nations and in April 2011 the United Nations officially recognized 30th July as International Friendship Day; although most countries, including India, celebrate on the first Sunday of August!

As a social event friendship day is celebrated with parties, from a small gathering of friends to a gathering of “your friends “and “their friends”. In other words the celebration can get very huge, as people start joining you and your friends. Now a days a lot of social parties are also being organized.
Social media has enhanced the celebration. Friendship day is now celebrated on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and more, allowing people to plan bigger parties, confirm attendance, give shout-outs to friends and reach out to far away friends, expanding the party even further, and planning out and even wishing your friends and even making them feel special.

It is that day when even if you had some of the quarrels or might have fought with your friends then you just clear them up and again start a new journey. So this a very beautiful day for the most beautiful and necessary relation in our lives.

Here are some friendship day quotes for whatsapp which we think you people will definitely like and will forward them to your friends:

“Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.”
Quotes by: Elbert Hubbard
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he fillet; for he hath not another to help him up.”
“Friendship is like a perennial river which flows forever. It may change its path but will never ever dry up.”
