How to write best friend messages

Best friends are the family we choose, and they rarely hear how much they mean to us. A best friend message is your chance to say it. The best ones mix humor with honesty: a callback to a ridiculous memory, followed by a line that says "I don't know what I'd do without you."

You can send these for no reason, on Best Friends Day (June 8), or tuck them into a birthday card. If life has pulled you apart a little, a message like this is a lovely way to reconnect. Add a plan, like a call or a trip, so it doesn't end at the card.

Questions people ask

What do you write to your best friend?
Thank them for something they've done, bring up a favorite memory, and tell them you're glad they're in your life. Humor is welcome.
When is Best Friends Day?
National Best Friends Day is June 8 in the US. It's a great excuse to send a card for no other reason.
How do I write a heartfelt message to my best friend?
Be specific about what they mean to you: "You were the only one who showed up when I moved." Specific is always more heartfelt than general.
What's a short best friend message?
"Friends come and go. You came and stayed. Thank you."
