National Sisters Day Messages

If you’ve been blessed with a sister, you know that the special bond only grows stronger with time and challenges.

A sister is a play partner, confidant, and best friend. And when we grow older, our sisters become the pillar of our support network, our (unlicensed) psychologists, credit officers, babysitters, and so on.

No one can take the place of a sister. To celebrate them, we have National Sisters’ Day!

When Is National Sisters Day 2023?

Each year, Sisters Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August. In 2023, it is on August 6. Sisters Day was first celebrated in 1996.

History of Sister Day

Not much is known about the origins of Sisters Day. However, it seems that the idea came from Tricia Eleogram, from Memphis, Tennessee.

What is National Sisters Day?

She desired to honor the sisterly bond and recognize the important role of sisters in our lives.

How to Celebrate National Sisters Day?

Just like any other special day, how we celebrate it depends on personal preferences. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to Sister’s Day.

You might want to take your sister for a girls’ night out. Or you could go on a spa weekend. Or have mani-pedis together. Perhaps a delicious cappuccino at that coffee shop you both like would your days? You can get your sister a gift or send her a message so she knows you are thinking of her. Here are some ideas:

Good National Sisters Day Messages

You’ve always been a big part of my life, a person I always see by my side, supporting me. Thanks for being my sister!

Having a sister does not guarantee you’ll have a great relationship. I’m glad we were always best friends. I cherish our bond more than ever.

I can’t imagine how my life would have been without you in it. More than my sister, you are my partner and confidant. The voice of reason I listed when I close my eyes. Thanks, big sis!

You’ve been like the sun and the moon in my sky. You guide, protect me, and always have my best interest at heart. You’re such a special person, and I’m so happy you’re my sister.

If you wouldn’t have been my sister, I’m pretty sure we would have met in a different circumstance and would have been just as good friends. Sometimes I feel like you are my true soul mate.

I should have said this years ago – “thank you for being you,” and thank you for being my sister.

Sister Sentiments

My sister brings out the best in me. She is kind and considerate, reliable and irreplaceable. She is unique.

Thoughts for My Sis

Sis, you are awesome! You were my babysitter, friend, confidant, and worst enemy (when you told mom my secrets). You were my go-to person in my time of need. I’m grateful to have you in my life.

I think of you every day, even if you are far away. When I try on clothes, I wonder what you’d say. Sometimes we have arguments in my head, and you always win. You are a part of me and will always be, no matter the distance.

When I look back at our childhood, I see our quarrels differently than I did then. I see you trying to look after me and keep me from making mistakes. I see you, sis. Thank you!

Grateful you're my soul sister.

Sister Love Thoughts – National Sisters Day Messages

There is no love like the love I have for you, big sis!

Our relationship and your love are what kept me going when I found little reason to wake up in the morning. Thank you for your love and support, sis!

I know I made it very difficult for you to love me. But you did either way. I thank God for giving me a sister like you every day.

You were a gift sent from heaven. You kept me safe, taught me to do good, and supported me in every way. Thank you, my little sis!

My love for you, dear sis, is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. It is different from the love for my husband and my kids and even from the love I have for our parents. It is unique and grows stronger with each day.

A sister’s love is not always easy to feel. Because it can manifest in so many different ways. Like calling you out when you lie to yourself, like slapping you on the face hard with the truth. However, a sister’s love is always there.

I’m So Grateful Sister Messages

Dear sis, you were the one telling me all the time that I am strong, I am beautiful, I am worthy. You said those words so many times that I got to believe them eventually, and my life changed for the better. Thank you for you, sis!

You were by my side when I had love trouble when I had kids trouble, when I had work trouble. Whatever made me sad or worried, you were there. Your love and support have been my safety net since I can remember.

Because I knew I had you no matter what, I was able to make decisions that scared me to death. But I knew that even if I lost everything, I would still have you. And this was enough to keep me going.

Having you as my sister defined who I am today. I am a strong woman because I’ve learned it from you. I am gentle because you were gentle, and I share the love you always had for me.

The most important thing I’ve learned from you is that kindness conquers everything. I tried to do this every day, in all situations, and it helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. And it’s all thanks to you, big sis!
