Today is...
National Girlfriends Day!

Girlfriends are the women who you can always depend on. Whether you call on them to share exciting news, to have a shoulder to cry on, or to just hang out, your girlfriends are always there for you. That's why there is an entire day dedicated to these friends, sisters, mothers, and daughters. They are all essential parts of our lives!
To celebrate National Girlfriends Day, send a free eCard to your girlfriends to let them know you’re thinking of them. Be sure to make plans to spend some quality time together—head to the beach, go to a wine tasting, or spend a day in the park. Whatever you decide to do, enjoy the time you spend with each other!
