How to Send Bhai Dooj Wishes Online: A Card With Your Sibling in It
Bhai Dooj is the last of the five days of Diwali: sisters put a tilak on their brothers, brothers bring the gifts, everybody eats. When you are in different cities the tilak happens on a video call, and the wishes usually end up as a forwarded image. In 2026 there is a better option: an interactive brother-and-sister story card with your sibling's name in the dialogue, sent as a link that plays full-screen on their phone. Bhai Dooj 2026 falls on Tuesday, 10 November.
The short answer
To send Bhai Dooj wishes online, open the Diwali Celebration template on MomentoCard, type your brother's and sister's names into the Sister's name and Brother's name fields, write a Bhai Dooj line as the message (for example, "Tilak lagane aa rahi hoon, gift ready rakhna"), optionally add a photo of the two of you, and share the link on WhatsApp on the morning of 10 November. The card is a 36-second doodle story of a sister and brother arguing over a rocket, a face full of soot, Lakshmi pooja, mithai and a family photo under your greeting. It is free and needs no app or sign-up.
Built around a brother and sister
The whole story is the two of them: she can't light the rocket, he takes over, the rocket backfires and she laughs the loudest. Your sibling's name is in every speech bubble, so it reads as your childhood, not a stock cartoon.
Works in both directions
Sisters send it with a tilak line; brothers send it with a gift line. Both names go into the card, so whoever sends it, both siblings are in the story.
Bhau Beej, Bhai Tika, Bhai Phonta
Same festival, many names: Bhau Beej in Maharashtra and Gujarat, Bhai Tika in Nepal, Bhai Phonta in Bengal, Yama Dwitiya in the south. Write the greeting in your own language; every text slot accepts any script.
Reaches a sibling anywhere
A link opens in any browser in any country. Send it the night before in their timezone, do the tilak on video call, and let the card handle the teasing.

Frequently asked questions
When is Bhai Dooj 2026?
Bhai Dooj 2026 falls on Tuesday, 10 November, two days after Diwali (Sunday, 8 November). Dates follow the lunar calendar and can shift by a day between regions; check your local panchang for the tilak muhurat.
What should I write in a Bhai Dooj card?
One wish and one specific memory. For a brother: "Tilak lagane aa rahi hoon, gift ready rakhna. Happy Bhai Dooj!" For a sister: "Behen, tera tilak, mera gift, aur Dadi ka ladoo — Bhai Dooj complete." In Hindi: "भाई दूज पर एक ही दुआ — तू हमेशा ऐसे ही हँसता रहे।"
Can I send a Bhai Dooj card to my brother abroad?
Yes. The card is a link that opens in any browser anywhere in the world, so it reaches a brother in the USA, UK, Canada or Dubai instantly. Do the tilak on video call and send the card first thing in their morning.
Is the Bhai Dooj card free?
Yes. Making the card and opening it are both free, with no sign-up for either of you. An HD video download for Instagram is an optional extra.
Can I use a Diwali card for Bhai Dooj?
The Diwali Celebration card is a brother-and-sister story, so it doubles as a Bhai Dooj card without any changes: set the title to Happy Bhai Dooj, put your sibling's name in, and write a tilak-day message.
