Engagement Wishes
30+ Engagement Wishes for Your Sister
A sister's engagement carries a bit of family weight with it — you likely met this partner over dinners, watched the relationship become serious, and have an opinion on whether they are good for her (hopefully a positive one).
These lines are written for that closeness. Emotional ones for the message, short ones for a caption, and playful ones for the sibling teasing that comes with any big announcement.

Frequently asked questions
What should I write to congratulate my sister on their engagement?
Say something about the two of them as a pair, not just the ring or the proposal. "You found someone who makes you more yourself" reads as personal; "congratulations on the engagement" reads as a caption for anyone.
What is a good short engagement message?
"So happy for you both" or "Congratulations — this suits you" both work as a card line or a caption without sounding generic.
Should I mention the wedding in an engagement message?
Briefly at most. The engagement is its own moment; save wedding talk for closer to the date, or you risk making the message about an event that has not been planned yet.
Are these engagement wishes free to use?
Yes. Every line is original to Saylines and free to copy into cards, messages or posts with no credit required.
