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.
