What to say
Raksha Bandhan wishes for your sister
Raksha Bandhan is on 28 August 2026. Brothers traditionally send something back, and a forwarded image is the easiest thing to spot as a forward.
These are written for a real sister, including the ones you argue with.
Short wishes
- Happy Raksha Bandhan. You have been looking after me longer than I have admitted.
- Happy Rakhi to the only person allowed to say that to me.
- You tie the thread, I hold up my end. Same as always. Happy Raksha Bandhan.
- Happy Rakhi. I got the better deal in this arrangement and we both know it.
- Happy Raksha Bandhan. Call me when you need anything. I mean anything.
When you are apart
- The rakhi will be late this year and the promise is not. Look after yourself. If anything at all goes wrong, I am one call away and I will find a flight. Happy Raksha Bandhan.
- I have spent this week realising how much of who I am came from growing up next to you. Happy Rakhi.

Traditionally a gift and a promise of protection. If you are far away, something personal and specific beats something expensive and generic.
