Tips for a Good Luck Card

Name the specific occasion. A generic "good luck" is nice, but naming the exam, job or move makes it clear you actually know what they're facing.

Add genuine confidence, not just hope. "You've got this" lands better than "hopefully it goes okay" — back them, don't just wish for the best.

Keep nerves in mind. If they're anxious about the occasion, a calm, reassuring tone will mean more than an over-the-top send-off.
