Frequently asked questions
What is a good short good luck message?
“Good luck — you’ve got this!” works everywhere. For something more personal, name the event: “Rooting for you at the interview today.”
What do you say to someone before a big exam or interview?
Point at their preparation, not the luck: “You’ve done the work — now go show them.” Confidence borrowed from a friend is real confidence.
When are good-luck flowers appropriate?
Before opening nights, big competitions, new ventures, and first days — or after the result as congratulations. A small bright bouquet reads as “I’m cheering for you.”
