Why these wishes are different

Most wishes passed around on phones are the same few lines, copied for years. Every wish on this site was written fresh by us, in plain words people actually say. The Hindi and Punjabi wishes are written in those languages, in their own scripts, and are not translations of the English ones.

The wishes are short on purpose. A short wish gets read. And each page has a few lines of advice on making the wish your own, because a wish with a name and a memory in it is always better than a perfect one without.

Questions people ask

Are these wishes free to use?

Yes. You can copy any wish and send it to people you know, write it in a card or read it out in a speech. Please do not republish the collection as your own.

Who wrote the wishes?

We did. Every wish here is original writing made for this site. Nothing is copied from books, films, songs or other websites.

Can I get wishes in Hindi and Punjabi?

Yes. Most pages have wishes in हिन्दी (Devanagari) and many in ਪੰਜਾਬੀ (Gurmukhi). Use the language filter on a page, or open the Hindi and Punjabi pages.

How does the WhatsApp button work?

It opens WhatsApp with the wish already typed. You choose the person or group and press send. Nothing is sent without you.
