Tips for writing it
Keep a coworker’s Diwali wish short, warm and centred on light, family and a good year ahead. Avoid detailed religious lines unless you know the person well and know they’d welcome them, and never assume everyone of Indian origin celebrates the same way: Sikh and Jain colleagues mark the day with their own meanings, and some people don’t celebrate at all. If you’re unsure, “Wishing you a happy Diwali” is always appropriate.
Send it a day or two before Lakshmi Puja if your colleague is taking time off, since they may not check work chat during the festival. A team card signed by everyone is a lovely gesture in offices where only one or two people celebrate. If someone brings sweets in, a thank you in the team channel goes a long way too.
Frequently asked questions
How do you wish a coworker Happy Diwali?
A simple “Happy Diwali! Wishing you and your family a joyful festival” is perfect. Keep it short, positive and focused on light, family and the year ahead.
Is it appropriate to send a Diwali card at work?
Yes, as long as it stays warm and inclusive. Most people appreciate colleagues remembering their festival, especially when they’re away from family or one of few celebrating at the office.
Should I send Diwali wishes to a colleague if I don’t celebrate?
Yes, it’s a kind and welcome gesture. You don’t need to know every tradition; wishing them a happy Diwali and a good festival with their family is enough.
When should I send Diwali wishes to a coworker?
On the main day, Lakshmi Puja, or a day before if they’re taking leave. In 2026 the main day is Sunday, November 8, so Friday the 6th is a good time to wish colleagues at the office.
Can I send one Diwali card from the whole team?
Yes. One person creates the card, signs it from the team and shares the private link. It’s free, and your colleague doesn’t need an account to open it.
