Friendship Anniversary Quotes and Wishes

Friends are the some of the most important people in our lives. They help us when we’re struggling, offer support and a shoulder to cry on, make us laugh when we need to most and are just generally amazing people.

And the longer a friendship lasts the stronger that bond grows. Outside of our immediate family it’s the friends we’ve had for decades that make up the truly special people and ones we see as closest to us.

But sometimes we take those friends and friendship for granted. We just assume it or they will always be there. That’s why a good way to rekindle or maintain a long term friendship is by celebrating a friendship anniversary.

If you’ve known a friend for a significant period – 1, 10, 20 or more years – then celebrating the anniversary of your friendship is a lovely thing to do. Showing appreciation to an important friend and acknowledging the impact they’ve had on your life will be hugely appreciated by them. You can also use them for friendship day, maybe in a card or to say in person.

So use the friendship anniversary quotes and wishes below to write a touching, heartfelt or funny message to your friend as you celebrate a big milestone in your friendship.
