Engagement wishes
These engagement wishes are written for the day the rings are exchanged, the families sit together and two people finally say yes in front of everyone. You will find lines for a best friend who just showed you the ring photo at midnight, a sister whose ring ceremony you helped plan, a brother who is suddenly very serious about his future, and colleagues you want to greet politely.
Every message here is original and short enough for WhatsApp, an Instagram comment or a small card tucked into a gift. There are Hindi and Marathi wishes for relatives, a few cheeky lines for friends, and simple congratulations wishes for engagement that suit anyone.

How to make the wish personal
The best engagement wish mentions something only you would know. Recall how the couple met, the first time your friend spoke about their partner, or a funny moment from the roka or ring ceremony. For a sister or brother, add a line welcoming the new person into the family by name, because that small gesture means a lot to someone who is nervous about fitting in.
If you are attending the ceremony, write a short card to go with your gift and keep the longer message for a private WhatsApp later that night. If you cannot attend, send a voice note or a message the same day so it lands while the photos are still being shared. For colleagues and seniors, keep the tone warm but simple, and avoid jokes about in-laws or wedding budgets.
Tips before you send
- Mention both people in the wish, not only the person you know better.
- Send your message on the day of the ring ceremony, ideally after the rituals are over and the couple has time to read.
- Pair a funny line with one sincere sentence so the joke never feels like the whole message.

Questions people ask
How do I wish someone for their engagement?
Congratulate both people, say something specific about them as a couple, and wish them a happy journey to the wedding. A short WhatsApp message on the day, or a card with your gift at the ring ceremony, both work well.
What should I write for my best friend's engagement?
Go personal. Bring up a shared memory, tease them gently about something they once said about marriage, and end with a sincere line about how happy you are for them.
What is a good short engagement wish?
Try something like 'So happy you found your person' or 'One ring, two families and a lifetime of yes.' Short wishes work best for comments, stories and cards.
How should I wish my sister or brother on their engagement?
Mix a childhood memory with a warm welcome for their partner. A line asking the new person to look after your sibling, said with affection, usually brings a smile.
Can I send engagement wishes in Hindi or Marathi?
Yes. Elders and relatives often enjoy wishes in their own language, such as 'सगाई की ढेर सारी बधाई' in Hindi or 'साखरपुड्याच्या खूप खूप शुभेच्छा' in Marathi.
