Diwali Wishes to Write on Gift Tags & Cards (100+ Messages)

Finding the right words is often harder than choosing the gift. This collection of diwali wishes for cards gives you more than 100 short, original messages you can copy, adapt and write on gift tags, greeting cards and envelopes. They are grouped by who you are writing to, so you can find a fit in seconds.

Diwali falls on 8 November 2026, with Dhanteras on 6 November and Bhai Dooj on 11 November. Use these lines for all three.

How to Write a Good Diwali Message

Keep it short, warm and specific. A line that mentions the person or your shared memory beats a generic forward.

• Use the person's name at the start.
• Pick one wish: light, health, prosperity or happiness.
• Sign off with your own name, not just "regards".
• Match the tone to the relationship.

Tags and small cards suit one or two lines. Larger greeting cards can take a short paragraph made by joining two or three messages below.
