  2. Save two or three favorites instead of memorizing the whole list. Rotating a few keeps your wording fresh.
  3. Do not stack two formal phrases back to back. One polished line plus plain language reads better.
  4. Match the register to the reader: professional for work, casual for friends, flirty only where it is clearly welcome.
  5. Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
