A good wedding wish for your brother does two things. It says something true about him, and it welcomes his bride into the family by name. For example: "Bhaiya, you finally found someone who laughs at your jokes. Neha, welcome home. He is all yours now, along with his cricket kit."
Below are lines for a brother's wedding from a sister and from a brother, for the card, WhatsApp, Instagram and a short speech. All are written fresh for this page, so change the names and add one memory of your own.
Wishes for Your Brother from a Sister
For an Elder Brother (Bhaiya)
- Bhaiya, you walked me to school for six years and never once let me carry my own bag. Today I want to carry everything for you. Be happy, both of you.
- You were the one who stood between me and Papa's anger. Now stand next to Bhabhi the same way.
- Every rakhi I asked you for a gift. This time I only ask that you stay this happy.
- You taught me to drive in the Maruti and shouted only twice. Bhabhi, he is more patient than he looks.
- Our house will still have your room. It will just have two people in it now.
For a Younger Brother (Chhotu)
- I changed your nappies, I covered for your bunks and I checked your homework. Now someone else can check on you. Welcome, Riya.
- Yesterday you were stealing my Maggi. Today you are someone's husband. Time moves too fast in this house.
- Chhotu, you are taller than me, older than you act and finally married. Proud of you.
- Riya, if he ever forgets an anniversary, call me. I have his school diary.
Wishes for Your Brother from a Brother
Brothers usually keep it short. These work as a WhatsApp message or a line in a card.
- Bhai, from sharing one cycle to standing at your pheras. Love you. Look after her.
- You were my first teammate. Now you have a better one. Congrats, bhai.
- Welcome to the family, Bhabhi. You get the better brother. I get to say I told him so.
- Bhai, I will miss the late-night bike rides. Take Bhabhi on them now.
- To my elder brother, who taught me everything except how to cook. Bhabhi, sorry in advance.
- Marriage looks good on you. Better than the sherwani.
Wishes for Brother and Bhabhi Together
These are for the card that goes with your gift, or the family group message.
- To Bhaiya and Bhabhi, may your home always have tea on the stove and space for one more guest.
- May you fight about small things and agree on big things. Happy married life.
- Bhabhi, our family is loud, nosy and always hungry. Welcome. You will fit right in.
- Two families, one dining table, many more Sunday lunches. Congratulations.
- May you grow old arguing over the TV remote and still holding hands.
- Wishing you both a home full of laughter, good food and very few in-law jokes.
Short Lines for WhatsApp and Instagram
Short is better on a status or a story. A photo of the two of you as kids works best with these.
- Bhai ki shaadi. Dancing first, crying later.
- Lost a roommate, gained a Bhabhi.
- He got the girl, I got the dance floor.
- The baraat starts here.
- Brother of the groom, officially retired from fights.
- Same nose, same laugh, different house from today.
- From Bhai to husband in 7 pheras.
In Hinglish, for Family Groups
Many families write wishes in Hinglish on WhatsApp. These read naturally in English letters.
- Bhaiya-Bhabhi ko shaadi ki dher saari badhai. Jodi hamesha salamat rahe.
- Bhai, ab ghar mein ek aur samajhdar insaan aa gaya. Welcome, Bhabhi.
- Shaadi mubarak ho, Bhaiya. Ab mummy ki daant aadhi Bhabhi ko bhi milegi.
- Bhabhi, swagat hai. Bhai ka dhyan rakhna, aur mera bhi.
What to Write in Your Brother's Wedding Card
A wedding card or a gift card has very little space. Three short parts are enough: one memory, a line for his bride, and your name.
"Bhaiya, I still have the kite you made me in Class 3. Neha, welcome to a family that loves kites and noise. With love, Pinky."
If you are giving cash, the envelope can carry the blessing and your name, and the card can carry the memory. Our page on shagun envelope messages has short lines for the envelope itself.
A Two-Minute Speech for the Sangeet or Reception
A sibling's speech works best at about two minutes. Use this shape and fill in your own details.
- Who you are. "I am Rahul's younger sister. I have known him for 26 years and I have proof of everything."
- One short story. Pick a harmless, funny one: the time he locked himself out in a towel, the exam he passed by one mark, the cricket ball through the neighbour's window.
- Something kind about his wife. "Neha, from the first day you came home, Mummy has been praising you. That has never happened to anyone in this family."
- A blessing or a toast. "So please raise your glasses, or your plates, to Rahul and Neha."
Do not mention exes, money or anything that embarrasses the parents. Keep a printed copy, because phones die at the worst time.
Our wedding wishes for sister page has the sister version with Hindi lines, and our wedding wishes page has messages for friends, colleagues and relatives.
