When we reply to the wishes, usually we say "Wishing the same to you". Is there any other way of saying this?

Are you talking about direct conversation, Mahhivanan-- '... and the same to you!' -- or are you talking about in a letter-- 'wishing you the same'?

There are various minor permutations, but those are the ones that first spring to my mind.

If we receive wishes from others thru email, we can say "Wishing the same to you". In this case any other way of replies?

That's pretty standard, I think. You could vary it with 'And I wish the same to you', 'and the same good wishes to you', etc. I suppose.
