Happy friendship day 2017: Best 20 quotes, wishes, gif messages, greetings to share with besties [PHOTOS]

Happy Friendship Day 2017!!

A life without friends is so dull, and sharing the most important moments with the besties makes the life fruitful and worthy.

In order to celebrate the value of friendship, people celebrate friendship day every year. Though the United Nations celebrates International Day of Friendship every year on July 30, Indians celebrate the day of friendship on the first Sunday of August, and this year it falls on August 6. 

The special day for friendship is commemorated by tying friendship bands on the friend's wrist or by exchanging gifts, cards and by sending special wishes and messages on social media. It is understood that Joyce Hall, the founder of Hallmark cards was the first one to propose the idea of friendship day celebrations in 1930.

I miss the wonderful moments we spent together, the funny conversations we had, the late night gossips and many more. Thanks for making me a better person. Wishing you the best regards of our day, friendship day.

Let the friendship bands we tie every year strengthens the friendship we have. You are the best thing that happened in my life. Wishing you the warm greetings of friendship day.

Finally, our most favourite day is here,
A day to celebrate, enjoy and have lots of fun.
But unlike the past years, we cannot be together this time.
But never mind, you will feel my presence.
I have a surprise. Wait for it.
Happy friendship day dear.
