- Print on regular paper or light cardstock.
- Cut the strips and fold once.

FAQ
Can I use these messages commercially?
If you’re printing for a private event (party/classroom/team), you’re typically fine. If you’re selling products, consider generating an original set at /generator so your slips are unique.
Should I include lucky numbers?
You can, but most modern slips feel cleaner without them. If you do add numbers, keep the message itself short and readable.
