To the friends we can always rely on to watch the hundreds of TikToks sent at midnight, who support us in our moments of need, and who call us out when we need it, happy National Best Friends Day!
National Best Friends Day was established all the way back in 1935 by the U.S. Congress, choosing June 8 for its ideal summer weather, making it a great time to plan picnics and outdoor activities. If Congress can set a day aside for best friends, you can too!
Your friends deserve their flowers and praise year-round, but on a day designated for bestie appreciation, it’s time to look back on your best moments and give them the recognition they deserve. Whether it’s that one best friend you have had since preschool or the group you found in your dorm freshman year, finding the words to say how much you love them can be hard — especially if you’re trying to think of an Instagram caption to convey all your feelings.
Instagram has a high word count for captions, but sometimes that’s not necessary to express how much your bestie means to you. Photo dumps of digital camera pictures and throwback memories can express way more than an Instagram caption, but with these National Best Friends Day 2024 Instagram captions, you can showcase the chosen family in your life!
