What do you say on Daughter’s Day?

How you express your love for your daughter on this day — or at any time — is up to you.

But the wise words of others are certainly one way to get to the heart of this most marvelous matter.

Daughter’s Day was started in India by Archies, a greeting cards and gifts company.

The annual date? The last Sunday of every month.

From being a national celebration, it now joins the ranks of Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and, yes, Son’s Day as a worldwide celebration.

In multiple countries, including the United States, Daughter’s Day is now celebrated on a fixed date every year: the 25th of September.

(Psst. In 2022, Daughters Day will be celebrated on the 25th of September across the globe. That’s because the last Sunday of September happens to fall on this day. Magic.)
