Send it with their name
A message forwarded to fifty people reads like a message forwarded to fifty people. What makes a relative smile is seeing their own name.
With a Diwali greeting from ShareMyInvite you make one animated greeting (your family's name, a photo, the wish you picked from above) and pay once. Then, for each family, type their name and tap WhatsApp: their link opens with "Dear Ravi Uncle & family," before the diya lights and your wish appears. There is no limit on how many families you send it to. A Tamil version is there too.
One payment. A personal link for every family.
Make your Diwali greetingTips
- Send it on the day, or the evening before. Morning messages get lost under a hundred others; an evening greeting with a photo stands out.
- Elders first. Call or send to the grandparents' generation before the group chats.
- One photo is enough. A recent family photo says more than a stock image of diyas.
- Keep it short. Two or three lines. The greeting itself carries the decoration.
FAQ
When is Diwali in 2026?
Diwali and Deepavali dates follow the lunar calendar and can differ by region by a day. Check your local panchang or temple calendar for the date and the Lakshmi Puja time in your city.
Can I send the greeting by email instead of WhatsApp?
Yes. The greeting is a normal link. Paste it into an email, SMS or any messenger.
Can I write my own wish instead of these?
Of course. The editor is prefilled with a sample so you can see how it looks; replace it with your own words before you publish.
