- Greeting EtiquetteHow to Offer Condolences in a Group ChatWhen a death is announced in a group chat, reply briefly if the news was shared publicly: acknowledge the loss, express care and offer gentle support. Message privately as well when you’re close to the grieving person or can offer practical help, while avoiding pressure, intrusive questions and phrases that minimise grief.13 November 2026
- Relationship & Occasion GuidesHow to Wish a Friend Who Had a Difficult YearTo wish someone who had a difficult year, acknowledge what they’ve been through without asking for details, then offer gentle hope rather than forced cheer.

About FreeWishes
FreeWishes helps you find the right words for the people you care about: birthday and anniversary wishes, festival greetings, quotes, captions, card messages and baby names, written to be copied and shared in seconds on WhatsApp or anywhere else.
It also remembers for you. Save a birthday or an anniversary and we email you before the day with wishes ready to send. One calendar shows every Indian festival, public holiday and special day alongside your own dates, and your homepage opens with a quote on the topics you chose.
When a ready-made line is not quite right, the Wish Writer writes one for a single person and the Card Maker puts your words on a picture card. FreeWishes is managed by Dotdunia Technologies, Hyderabad, India.

Save a date such as a birthday or an anniversary. We email you before the day, at the time you choose, with wishes ready to send. On the day it also appears at the top of your homepage.
Do I need an account?
No. You can browse, copy, share and make picture cards without one. An account keeps your reminders, favourites and preferences safe and available on every device.
Are the festival dates correct?
Dates for 2026 and 2027 are compiled from published calendars. Festivals that follow the moon, such as Eid, can shift by a day depending on the sighting and your region, and we mark those days.
Are the wishes written by AI?
AI helps us draft our collections, and editors set the standard and remove what falls short. We do not use AI to invent quotes by real people; quotes are attributed only when we can confirm a source. The Wish Writer uses AI to write a personal wish from the details you give.
