120+ original diwali wishes you can copy in a single tap. Every line is written in-house for Saylines — nothing here is scraped or reposted — and every card is free to download and share.
Diwali messages are sent in enormous volume over a few days, which is precisely why most of them go unread. A message that names the person, or refers to something particular about the year they have had, gets read; a forwarded template does not.
The lines below are written in English for people who send Diwali wishes in English — family abroad, colleagues, friends who do not share a first language with you. They avoid the recycled phrasing that circulates every year.
Collections are grouped by relationship, each with a warm set, a short set for a message or status, and a lighter set. Everything is written in-house and free to use.
Most Diwali messages that reach a best friend are forwards, which is why one written directly to them stands out so easily. The lines below are grouped by tone and none of them are the recycled phrasing that circulates every year.
Family Diwali messages usually go to a group, which changes what works: the line has to suit a dozen people at once without reading as a template. The sets below are written for that, with a separate set for family you will not see this year.
A Diwali message to a husband is usually read in the middle of a busy day, so the short version often lands better than the long one. All three sets below are written with that in mind.
For most households the person who does the work of Diwali and the person who gets thanked for it are not the same. A message that acknowledges the first is worth more than one that just wishes well.
On the day of Diwali itself for most people, though messages to family are often sent on Dhanteras or the day before. Sending early is better than sending late.
Mentioning the person by name and referring to something specific — a year they have had, a plan to meet, a memory of a previous Diwali. Generic wishes read as forwarded regardless of how well written they are.
Yes. Every line here is original to Saylines and free to send, post or print without credit.
