“Blessings to you” is a unique wish that can be used in a variety of situations. From ending a casual conversation on a bright note to wishing someone farewell, discussions in religious settings, expressing gratitude for a job done, or trying to wish someone well, “Blessings to you” may not be commonly used but when it is used, you want to be prepared to answer thoughtfully.
If you are lost for ideas about how to respond to “Blessings to you,” this article is going to show you some creative ways to reply. In it, I have curated some grateful responses to “Blessings to you” that will help you make your conversation more thoughtful and appreciative.
The following are some of my top suggestions about responses to “Blessings to you” that you can use to show your gratitude:
Amen. Thank You For Always Praying For Me And My Family
“Amen. thank you for always praying for me and my family” is a good way to respond to “Blessings to you” especially when it is coming from someone who’s like a religious head. You know how you can attend service either on Sunday morning or any of the weekdays and the pastor tells you “Blessing to you” as you leave, it is a good opportunity to thank them for always praying for you.
That’s Very Thoughtful Of You, Mate
One of your buddies may hit you with this statement and if you want to reply in due consideration of the lovely wish they are sending your way instead of trying to play around, you could say “That’s very thoughtful of you, mate.” It can be difficult for friends to think of “Blessings to you” as a way to end or begin a conversation. So, appreciating the thought is a good way to respond.
You Are Most Welcome
I have seen a handful of individuals who substitute “Thank you” or “Good job” for “Blessings to you.” They’d rather send you blessings instead of the conventional appreciation we are used to after we help others do stuff. If this is the case, you do not need to overthink your response. You can simply tell them that they are welcome and move on.
It Was Nothing, No Biggy
Another way to respond to “Blessings to you” would be to say “It was nothing, no biggy.” I’ll recommend this response for when you help someone handle a task and they appreciate you by saying “Blessings to you.” You are simply letting them know that you didn’t mind doing it. Other phrases you can add could be reassurances of your willingness to help out. Such as:
- I am just one call away if you ever need me to get something like this done.
Oh, That’s Sweet Of You
In informal scenarios, when someone tells you “Blessings to you,” one of the replies I’ll suggest you give them is to say “Oh, that’s sweet of you.” There’s no depth to this response. It is just you acknowledge the individual’s personality and what you think about it. Not everyone would tell you “Blessings to you.” Someone who does wish you well and there’s no doubt about that.
Do Not Miss Me Too Much
Another scenario where someone might tell you “Blessings to you” is when you are about to embark on a trip or you are going out. If your relationship with the person is quite close, probably a spouse or close friend, you could reply with “Do not miss me too much.” It is a casual way to respond that will resonate only with someone who shares a special bond with you.
Enjoy The Best The Holiday Has To Offer
Holidays and festive seasons allow people to say “Blessings to you.” It could be Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year, or Easter. During these periods, it is common for people to use prayers and good wishes when exchanging pleasantries. If this is the scenario, your response to “Blessings to you” could be “Enjoy the best the holiday has to offer.” Other examples include:
- I wish you every lovely thing this season has to offer.
- Compliments of this beautiful time of the year.
And To You As Well
No one says you can’t wish them the same remark. If they are your colleague, casual friend, or recent acquaintance, you can tell them “And to you as well” when responding to their “Blessings to you” remark. Reciprocating a wish is always a good way to reply.
Have The Best Of Days Yet
You could be stepping out of the house or leaving your favorite breakfast restaurant and someone tells you “Blessings to you.” Since it starts a new day, you could respond with “Have the best of days yet.” Alternatively, you could wish them a happy day depending on what day of the week it is.
I Wish You A Lovely Week Ahead
Much like the response before it, “I wish you a lovely week ahead,” can be used to reply “Blessings to you” on a Sunday or Monday. Ideally, it should be used at the start of the week to wish the person a good week. Whether the person works or not, wishing them a lovely or productive week is a good way to respond to them.
I Am Always Looking Out To Your Salutations
“Blessings to you” is quite rare if I must say. Not many people use this statement during pleasantries. Several people who I have heard use it are those who love to be creative during conversations. This could be the case and if rightly so, you can respond with “I am always looking forward to your salutations.” This is going to give them a confidence boost, elevating their mood.
Enjoy The Blessings Of God In Everything You Do
I’d recommend this response for interactions in religious circles. When someone who believes in God tells you “Blessings to you,” responding with “Enjoy the blessings of God in everything you do” is a way to match their energy. If they can be thoughtful enough to wish you blessings, then praying for God’s blessings on what they do will mean the world to them.
Your Wishes Hit Differently Every Time
There are some people who seem to have their way with words and wishes. For such people, you can expect them to come up with something new almost every time you speak to them. If the person who tells you “Blessings to you” falls in this category of people, then I will suggest you tell them “Your wishes hit differently every time.”
Whoever they are, if they are actually making an effort to say nice things to people, they’d feel appreciated. Regardless, you can rest assured that this response will hit the bullseye.
So Timely. I Need All Of It
Another response you can give when someone tells you “Blessings to you” is to say “So timely. I need all of it.” This will make sense if you are about to do something like go on a trip and someone gives you that remark. If you are about to do something and someone who’s trying to wish you well on your venture tells you “Blessings to you,” this is a good way to respond.
Your Guidance, Mentorship, And Spiritual Oversight Are Amazing
When you are in a spiritual setting, it’s a good idea to express appreciation to pastors and spiritual leaders. You can say something like, “Your guidance, mentorship, and spiritual oversight are amazing.” They often respond with “Blessings to you,” and you can show your gratitude for the work they do. This response is appropriate regardless of whether you are Christian or Muslim.
I’d Need All Of It
This is another way to respond to “Blessings to you.” It is taking the wish literally. If someone mentions it to you, you could tell them that you’d be needing it. It doesn’t matter what you are trying to do, whether you want to carry out a task or go on an outreach, “I’d need all of it” is going to resonate well whenever you need to respond to a cleric, religious person, or any individual.
Wishing You Joy And Goodness
“Wishing you joy and goodness” is another way to respond to “Blessings to you.” It goes beyond the typical responses we’ve been providing to say a heartfelt wish to the person. They are going to love the fact that you aren’t just reciprocating but giving them a wish that isn’t like the one they just told you. The effort is going to be very much appreciated by someone who considers it.
Be Blessed
This is another response I will recommend for spiritual settings. I have heard it among Christians a lot and I believe you wouldn’t be speaking amiss when you use a response like this. By saying “Be blessed,” you are extending the same blessings they are sending your way to them.
- You are an attractor of divine blessings. Grace to you.
- Stay blessed, mate.
I Hope More Money Is Part Of These Blessings. Thanks.
Let’s step away from formal responses to “Blessings to you” and add a bit of sarcasm to our reply. With a response like this, you are suggesting the kind of blessing or a major part of the blessing you want. It is like saying, let the blessings come and money should be a part of it. You can share a laugh with this and don’t forget to add your appreciation.
- Thanks mate. I can only hope one of the blessings would be a day without grumpy customers.
- If the blessings consist of peace of mind, I need all of it.
There’s A Particular Blessing I Have Been Hoping For. I Pray It Happens Soon
Another way that you can reply to “Blessings to you” is to tell the person about a blessing you are hoping to receive. You could say “There’s a particular blessing I have been hoping for. I pray it happens soon.” I suggest you use this reply if you do not want to go into any detail about what the blessing is. If you do not mind sharing your heart’s desire with them, you can be specific about the blessing you want.
- I wish for a financial favor that’d help me clear my parent’s debt. It’s becoming a concern.
- One blessing I need is to have my marriage back. It would be a miracle and I need something to happen.
Before You Go,

Whatever the reason they tell you “Blessings to you,” I am confident you have found the appropriate ways to respond. These responses will show your appreciation, express your heartfelt wish, and some wit when necessary.
