Raksha Bandhan falls on the full moon of the month of Shravan, usually in August. A sister ties a rakhi on her brother's wrist, puts a tilak on his forehead, does a small aarti and feeds him a sweet. He promises to look out for her and gives her a gift. These days plenty of sisters tie rakhis on each other, and brothers on sisters too.
When you can't be there, the rakhi goes by post and the rest happens on a video call. A Wrapped story fills in the part a parcel can't: proof of how much you two actually talk, and the promise written down.

Raksha Bandhan messages for your brother or sister
Copy one into the letter slide, or send it with the link.
Happy Raksha Bandhan. The rakhi is in the post. The promise is in here, and it still stands.
You've stolen my charger, my fries and my excuses. You can keep the excuses. Happy rakhi.
Bhaiya, you said you'd protect me. Mostly you protected the TV remote. Happy Raksha Bandhan anyway.
Happy rakhi to the only person who knows what really happened to the vase.
However far away you are, I'm still one text away. That's my rakhi promise.
You were my first friend and my first enemy. Happy Raksha Bandhan.

Questions
What's a good rakhi gift for a brother or sister who lives far away?
Post the rakhi, and send something they can open on the day itself. A Wrapped story arrives as one link with your chat stats, a letter, photos and coupons, so the time zone doesn't matter.
When is Raksha Bandhan?
On the full moon of the Hindu month of Shravan, which usually falls in August. The date moves every year, so check a calendar for the exact day and the auspicious time to tie the rakhi.
Can a brother make one for his sister?
Yes. Anyone can make one for anyone. Brothers send them to sisters, sisters to sisters, cousins to cousins.
Does it work if our chat is mostly memes and voice notes?
Yes. The export works with or without media, and the counts still come out. If you'd rather skip the chat, build it from the personal slides alone.
Can my parents see it?
Only if you share the link. The page is hidden from search engines, and you can add a 4 digit passcode.
