Messaging with a Japanese friend, she mentioned she can’t make plans on a certain date because she’s going to her sister’s wedding. In English, I think most people would say something about the wedding — “that’s amazing,” “so happy for her” et cetera. I wrote「お姉さんおめでとう！」to convey that feeling. Is this something a Japanese speaker would say, or is there a more natural option? Thanks for any help!

I think you can keep it pretty simple! Things like 「いいね！」or 「お姉さんは幸せになりますように」or 「結婚式、楽しみでしょ？」、whatever.
I think your reply is nice😉
Some Japanese people would write it
I would write “おぉ〜！それはおめでたいね！お姉さん、結婚おめでとうございます✨”
