But, before we jump into our fun-filled list, have you thought about sending your bestie a thoughtful card to celebrate the occasion too? We\u2019re pretty proud of our love and friendship cards<\/a>, and here\u2019s a selection to give you an idea of what you can choose from:<\/p>\n Paperlink and Meraki Greeting Cards<\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div> Do You Punctuate?<\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div> Elena Smith<\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div> RuthChurchillDesigns<\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div> Bold & Bright Cards<\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n Oh, and if you\u2019re struggling to find the right words, we\u2019ve got a guide on what to write in a friendship card<\/a> too! (We know, we\u2019re just too good\u2026)<\/p>\n Every friend group has the classic mum friend. Known for sending the \u201cyou home?\u201d text, as well as planning all the group get-togethers, they really are the glue that holds your tribe together.<\/p>\n When it comes to important life events, the mum friend has already sent the card and organised the group gift. Not to mention their magic ability to sort out scuffles and keep the peace. Need a plaster? 2am airport pickup? Life advice on an existential crisis? Maybe you’ve just split up with your partner or are getting over a friendship breakup<\/a>? Whatever it is, the mum friend has got your back. What would we do without them, ey?<\/p>\n Oh, and speaking of mothers, we’ve also done a deep dive into the different types of mums<\/a> that we all know and love!<\/p>\n Next up, we have the lovably chaotic one, worlds away from the mum friend and their super organised ways. A wonderful whirlwind, there\u2019s never a dull moment when the chaotic friend is around.<\/p>\n You\u2019re lucky if you can squeeze in a catch-up with them once a year. And when you do finally reunite, they\u2019ve probably moved country and got four new tattoos. The \u201cyou coming out tonight?\u201d text almost always pops up with their name attached\u2026 7am Monday morning Instagram story in Ibiza? No questions asked when it comes to the chaotic friend.<\/p>\n Probably besties with the chaotic friend, meet the chronically late friend. This member of the group never quite manages to show up on time (even when you tell them to arrive an hour before you\u2019re actually meeting). If this sounds like you, be honest, how many times have you said you were \u2018on your way\u2019 whilst frantically jumping out of the shower?<\/p>\n Despite their timekeeping issues, they\u2019re otherwise an endearing and unproblematic member of the group. Here\u2019s a top tip: how about you all chip in for a watch for their next birthday gift?<\/p>\n While there are many different types of friends, there\u2019s always the joker. This friend constantly has a pun at hand to lighten the mood, and they\u2019ve got a special way of making everyone chuckle (even in the most sombre of situations).<\/p>\n You probably laugh at their laugh more than the actual joke, and they definitely don\u2019t know how to whisper in silent situations\u2026 Nevertheless, they\u2019re your very own little slice of sunshine, and an integral part of the group.<\/p>\n When it comes to types of friends, there\u2019s always the stylish one too. Leaps and bounds ahead of the latest trends and always camera ready, they put everyone else to shame in group pics.<\/p>\n The fashionista friend has a new outfit on every time you see them, and they\u2019re equipped with tips on the latest style hacks before they\u2019re even a thing. This member is everyone\u2019s go-to when it comes to borrowing shoes, clothes, and accessories!<\/p>\n A walking drama queen, the emotional friend certainly keeps things interesting… Perhaps they spotted an elderly man eating lunch alone? Instant tears. A puppy playing in the park? Tears of happiness. Not to mention the watery eyes which rom-coms spark.<\/p>\n Gentle and unafraid to show emotion, they\u2019re an open book and they wear their heart on their sleeve. The emotional friend is unafraid to be unapologetically themselves, and you\u2019ve got to admire them for it.<\/p>\n Speaking of books, we\u2019ve all got that friend who spends their weekends hibernating with a good novel. Unless group plans involve an atmospheric rainy day wandering around the local book shop, they\u2019d probably rather give it a miss.<\/p>\n This member is your introverted, tote bag-carrying, latte-drinking bestie, who always has a list of book recs to hand. Usually in bed by 10pm, they\u2019re your go-to when you\u2019re after a cosy night in.<\/p>\n Finally, we have the easy-going, laid-back member of the group. Quiet, confident, and always chilled, they\u2019re a calming presence in the chaos of friendship.<\/p>\n They\u2019re the mediator, the \u2018always down\u2019 friend, and a well-loved member all round. Faced with imminent disaster? The laid-back friend remains unphased. And, when it comes to friendship group roles, this member prefers to take a backseat.<\/p>\n Well, there we have it, the roles you\u2019re bound to find in every friendship group!<\/p>\n While this isn\u2019t an exhaustive list, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll recognise some of the traits your besties carry in these descriptions. Perhaps you\u2019re wondering \u2018what type of friend am I\u2019? Well, why not send this in the group chat to see which one you\u2019re given?<\/p>\n If you loved these insights, we\u2019ve got plenty more over fun articles like this on the thortful blog<\/a>! This includes pieces on the different types of travellers<\/a> that you may experience holidaying with, tips on how to keep in touch with long-distance friends<\/a>, and best friend quotes for your BFF<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Cute](\"https:\/\/images.thortful.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=600,format=auto,quality=90\/card\/6523e1265dad901dca1fb0f2\/6523e1265dad901dca1fb0f2_medium.jpg?version=1\")
