National Girlfriends Day is celebrated on two different dates for different reasons. The primary celebration is on August 1 each year and honors the special bond of friendship between women, such as friends, sisters, and mothers. This day was created in 2006 by Allie Savarino Kline and Sally Rodgers as a celebration of female friendships.
Additionally, there is another National Girlfriend Day celebrated on October 1, which is more focused on romantic relationships between girlfriends and boyfriends. This latter date has gained popularity on social media and is celebrated with boyfriends showing love and care for their romantic partners.
In summary:
- August 1: National Girlfriends Day celebrating female friendships.
- October 1: National Girlfriend Day celebrating romantic girlfriends.
Both days are recognized and celebrated, but the August 1 date is the original and more widely recognized occasion for honoring female friendships.
