friendship cards

Platonic affection stationery

Friendship cards are greeting cards exchanged between friends to express affection, appreciation, or support outside of specific occasions like birthdays or holidays.

Unlike romantic cards, they celebrate platonic bonds: She sent me a friendship card just to say she was thinking of me.

The category emerged as card companies expanded beyond traditional occasions.
