Friendship is the Sweetest Gift.
There is no gift as special and precious as friendship. The joy and feeling of having a friend is priceless. It is fun to have someone to talk to, walk with, visit places and hang out together. True friendship is about mutual interest in each other's life, as well having as a sense of 'belonging' and connection. Friendship Day is a day to celebrate this special relationship. It is a day when you tell your friends how excited you are to have them in your life, a day set aside to give gifts and to celebrate the moments you have spent together.
Celebrating Friendship Day.
In the United States, National Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August. In other parts of the world, friendships are celebrated on July 30th, which is known as International Friendship Day. Friendship day is a day to refresh your old memories, make amends, forget the pasts, embrace and move your friendship to the next level. People carry out a lot of activities like house parties, picnics, dinners, road trips to celebrate the togetherness and create special memories.
Treat your BestFriend to a Dinner.
Treat your best friend or your nearest and dearest friends to a dinner party. Go all out to spoil your friends and bring back childhood memories of the times you have spent together these past years. Play games, karaoke and dance together your favourite music. Ensure the menu is lined up with everyone's favourite dish. Raise your glasses, toast to each other and to the many years of pleasant friendship. Write a special toast to honor each of your friends and let them know why they mean so much to you. Take turns making each person at your dinner party feel like the guest of honour.
Organize a Get-Together with other Close Friends.
Friendship day is a day to celebrate dear friends. Invite your friends and also tell them to invite other friends along. A get together is a good way to meet other people and by the way, making more friends on the Friendship Day is not a bad idea. Decide on a time and think about which dates and days would suit most of the people. Next decide on a place, it can be a few friends in your home, or a picnic in the park, a Get Together doesn’t necessarily have to be big or complicated. Decide on the food, make it as simple or as fancy as you want, and there is no crime in asking others to bring something along, the more the merrier.
Decide on some activities and games for the get together and finally decide on a party soundtrack that would suit the occasion. A get together is a great way for you and your friends to be together without spending a lot of money and it is genuinely going to be a fun time.
Post Social Media Messages That Show Your Appreciation
Social media plays an important part of our lives today. Talk about your friends online and make your appreciation for them public. Post messages about your friend and how special he/she is to you. Post pictures, search from past post that captures you both and re-share. The good thing with the social media platforms is the fact that you can schedule posts, so the posts get to be posted as the day continues.
You can also use social media to get inspiration to find interesting gifts, exciting ways to celebrate the day and have fun.
