Frequently asked questions
What should I write to my wife on Diwali?
Acknowledge something specific she did rather than wishing generally. The work of a festival is usually invisible, and naming it is what makes the message land.
Is a funny Diwali message appropriate?
If teasing is the usual register between you, yes. Pair it with one sincere line and it works for most couples.
Are these Diwali wishes free to use?
Yes. Every line is original to Saylines and free to send, post or print without credit.
