Saying goodbye to your best friend is not the most pleasant thing in the world, but sometimes we have to deal with it. Just because your friend is moving does not mean that you will be very distant from each other. Sincere goodbyes will help her understand that you value your friendship. Read on to find out how to say goodbye, or more precisely, "See you soon."

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Giving a goodbye gift

1. 1 Make an album of your friendship. Over the years of friendship, you have probably accumulated joint photographs. Putting them all on an album is both a great way to remind her of your friendship, and a great piece to take with her to her new home.
   • If you only have digital photos, print them and cut them with scissors.
   • Buy a photo album from a store - you can find inexpensive albums in photo shops, or make your own if you can.
   • Add captions to your photos. You can write a couple of phrases about a day or an event from a photo, or a joke that only the two of you know.
   • You can also create an online photo album. This will give each of you a copy of the album.
2. 2 Make a friendship bracelet. It's a classic and one of the most common ways to show a friend that you care.Friendship bracelets are very popular and will be a great gift for both boys and girls. Plus, it's very easy to make them yourself. Go to a craft store and buy some embroidery thread, then weave a colorful pattern out of it. Tie the ends together and cut off any excess threads.
   • Make similar bracelets - one for yourself, and the other for your girlfriend, so that when you look at them, you would immediately think of each other.
   • You can buy friendship bracelets made of silver or, if you need something more impressive, gold. You can consider the option of the classic halves of the heart (each of which you will have) or other options for shapes and bracelets.
3. 3 Give your friend a help kit. Moving to a new location can be challenging and will likely take a while to get used to as she won't feel at home for a few more weeks. A “help kit” filled with things that remind her of home will help her feel more comfortable when she misses you and her home.
   • Select a suitable container for the kit. You can decorate a regular box, use gift paper, or use an old bag.
   • Add a few things to the set that remind you of your home. You can add candles from your favorite store, a book from a bookstore you hang out at a lot, or a coffee mug you hang out in after school.
   • Add some delicious sweets to the set. Throw in a bag of flavored cookies to eat on the way to a new location, or a set of her favorite sweets.

Method 2 of 4: Write a farewell letter

1. 1 Write about your friendship. A farewell letter is a kind of unique way to remember the past and tell you how much friendship means to you. Not all friends have a chance to do this, so don't miss it. It will be a very sincere step to write about all this in a letter, and your friend can always keep it with her.
   • Tell us about your memories, about your meeting. Do you remember how it happened? Sometimes you realize from the very first meeting that this person can become your best friend.
   • Write about your most vivid memories. Think of the movies you watched together, concerts you went to, funny sleepovers at each other's house.
   • You can open your heart even more if you like. You can write about the bad, as well as how your friendship has grown as a result of the fact that you went through difficulties together.
2. 2 Add some jokes. Saying goodbye is always hard, but you still have to go through it someday. Your friend will have to go through many challenges, and your role as her BFF is to encourage her to do so. Embellish the story with funny jokes or stories to make her smile as soon as she opens the envelope.
   • Draw funny scenes with you together.
   • Write some secret code and add the decryption of the code on the back of the letter.
3. 3 End the letter with a promise that you will continue to communicate. Let your friend know that this is not the end of your friendship for you. You will always remember those wonderful years spent together in the same city, and this is just another stage of your friendship. Now you can come to visit each other and share your impressions of how you spend your time and how you feel about the places where you are.

Method 3 of 4: Go to a restaurant goodbye

1. 1 Visit your friend's favorite spots. Spending the day doing everything you've done before together is a great way to say goodbye to your friend. You can do something special, like going to a football game or a concert. Go eat at your friend's favorite restaurant, or make a delicious lunch yourself to just sit out together.
2. 2 Celebrate at school. If you go to the same school, then you can celebrate at lunchtime with the rest of your friends.Ask everyone to decorate your friend's locker with different wishes, as well as bring different treats with them.
3. 3 Throw a party. If you have a lot of mutual friends and girlfriends, then you can throw a great party in honor of her departure. This may or may not be a surprise - you know your girlfriend better, so it's up to you. You can arrange a themed get-together or just gather the guys to sit in a restaurant for a farewell dinner.
   • Invite everyone to write about funny memories with your friend. Read them one at a time during the party.
   • Bake or buy a goodbye party cake. Write on it "We will miss you!" with your girlfriend's name signed at the top of the cake.

Method 4 of 4: Farewell Words

1. 1 Meet your friend at the airport or bus station. Spending these last few minutes with your friend is priceless. If you cannot see her off at the very last moment, try to see her in the last few days before she leaves.
   • Ask your friend if she needs help collecting things. This is a great way to spend time with her, as well as relieve some of the stress of the move.
   • She might be a little busy with her family these last days. If that's the case, try to take a couple of hours away from her to say goodbye.
2. 2 Share your feelings with your friend. There are many ways to say goodbye. The best way is to tell the whole truth about how you feel. Even if you cannot express all the feelings in words, your friend will understand how you are going through. The warmth and love that you express will reinforce the courage that is so needed when moving to a new place and in order to start all over again.
   • It can be difficult to express all the feelings you have for someone, but now is the time to do it. Tell your friend that you love her and that you will miss her very much.
   • Sometimes it's too hard to say goodbye. A hug and a sincere smile will tell your friend much more about her feelings than words.

Tips

• Don't lose your friendship and keep communicating.
• Let your friend know that you will continue to communicate and remain friends.
• When you find out that your friend is leaving, try to strengthen the bond between you and the rest of your friends so that you don't feel bad when they leave.
• Even if you think you need to be really nice, your friend may not take it right. Don't be afraid to show your emotions. It's okay to feel sad that your friend is leaving.
• Remember that no matter the distance, you can maintain a healthy relationship with your friend without any problems.
• Sometimes moving is good. There are reasons for this. Do not give up! Above the nose, it may be harder for your friend to say goodbye, because she will have to do it not only with you, but also with other friends when you say goodbye only to her.
• Be as nice to her as possible and try to smile when she leaves.
