When is the first day of autumn?

The first day of autumn depends on which definition you use:

September 22 or 23 (in the Northern Hemisphere) marks the autumn equinox, the beginning of astronomical autumn.
September 1 marks the beginning of meteorological autumn, which ends on November 30.

Given that autumn starts in September for both definitions, this month is a good time to wish your family and friends a happy autumn.

Wishes and expressions: Other interesting questions

What does my pleasure mean?: My pleasure means “It was my pleasure to help you” or “The pleasure was all mine.” It’s a formal way of saying you’re welcome after someone says thank you.

“My pleasure” shows another person that you enjoyed helping them. The phrase is common in business settings when communicating with clients, colleagues, and supervisors, but it also works in everyday social settings.

Dinner guest: Thank you for having us over for dinner.

If you need help with different ways to say “my pleasure” or “you’re welcome,” Quillbot’s free Paraphraser can help you rewrite sentences.
Is it have a good week or have a great week?: Have a good week means the same thing as have a great week. The adjective “great” means “wonderful,” whereas “good” means “pleasant” or “generally positive.”

Both expressions are useful when you’re communicating with someone on Monday. They only work when you’re unlikely to communicate again before the week is over (e.g., “I hope you all have a good week, and I’ll see you when I get back on Friday”).

Quillbot’s free Paraphrasing Tool can help you with word choices when you’re writing emails or other correspondence.
Is it thank you so much or thank you very much?: “Thank you so much” and “thank you very much” are both correct ways to emphasize that you’re thankful.

Both phrases have the same meaning (e.g., “Thank you so much for the flowers” is the same as “Thank you very much for the flowers”). They are both appropriate to use in thank you messages of all types.

If you’re ever unsure about whether a phrase like “thank you so much” is grammatically correct, Quillbot’s free Grammar Checker can help you avoid mistakes. Additionally, Quillbot’s Paraphraser tool can help you find other ways to express gratitude.
What does LGBTQ+ stand for?: LGBTQ+ is an acronym that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer. The plus symbol (+) is added at the end to recognize that many other identities—such as intersex and asexual individuals—can also fall within the LGBTQ acronym. You can use this acronym in your Happy Pride Month wishes and greetings.

LGBTQ+ is used to recognize the common causes of those who live and love outside heterosexual norms.

What’s a good happy Thanksgiving message for my boss?: A happy Thanksgiving message to your boss can express your appreciation for the ways they have supported you. If you work very closely with your boss, you can include personal details. If you don’t, a more generic holiday message is appropriate.
