Diwali card questions
When is the best time to send a Diwali message?
The best time to send a Diwali message is a day or two before the festival, so it arrives in time for the celebrations. However, it's always better late than never.
What should I write if I'm stuck or it's awkward?
Keep it simple and sincere. Mention the festival's light and joy, and perhaps include a personal memory or wish related to the recipient. A simple 'Wishing you light and joy this Diwali' can go a long way.
How long or formal should a Diwali message be?
The length and formality depend on your relationship with the recipient. For close friends and family, a warm and personal note is perfect. For colleagues or acquaintances, a concise and polite message is appropriate.
