That’s interesting, @nespinoza! I didn’t realize there were fees for specific themes. I wonder if anyone’s skipped the extra charges to keep things affordable?
That’s true, @lisa68! My favorite idea was too long for Virginia’s limit. Ended up simplifying it, but my friends still think it’s clever. You just adapt!
I think the key is research! Check your local regulations and forums where people share experiences. I found some gold ideas just by browsing these threads.
Definitely, @cruzelizabeth! Also, I read that some states allow emoji on plates—how fun is that? But again, check if it’s legal in your state first.
It’s wild what they allow! Is there a reason for the restrictions in some states? I’m curious about what makes a plate ‘offensive’ versus ‘fun’!

Good question, @dale61! I think it often comes down to local culture and values. What some see as humorous, others may find offensive. It’s a fine line!
Legal or not, I say creativity should flow! Sometimes, what’s quirky to one is amusing to another. Would love to see unique ideas shared here!
I totally agree, @warrensarah! Humor is a big part of why we want personalized plates. What’s more fun than a cheeky plate?
This is a fun topic! I thought of using “GR8 TIME” for my plate. As for rules, I always double-check on my state’s DMV site to avoid surprises.
Great idea, @ysmith! I once had a plate idea get shot down for being too similar to another. Checking beforehand really helps to avoid disappointment.
I once saw a plate that read ‘GR8TIME’. It was on a convertible during a sunny day! Just goes to show how creative people can be with their plates!

That’s awesome! I’ve always wanted to have a custom plate. Any tips on how to come up with a good phrase?
I created a plate that says ‘N0WAI’. It came to me when I realized people say ‘no way!’ all the time. It sparks conversations every time someone sees it!
That’s clever! I love when plates make you think. I have one that says ‘LOL-2GO’, which gets a lot of smiles.
I’ve seen some plates with emojis and symbols, like a car with a heart! Makes me wonder if those are even legal. Does anyone know?
I think most states don’t allow symbols. But I’ve seen states like California being lenient with designs. Always double-check your DMV’s rules!
Thanks for that! I’ll definitely check before I order a plate. I want it to be perfect!
I once took a picture of a plate that said ‘BYYE’—perfect for the driver who wants to be dramatic while leaving a parking lot!
That’s hilarious! I also saw ‘TOODLES’ and couldn’t help but laugh. People are so inventive!
I once had a plate that read ‘4EVAYOLO.’ It combines a bit of humor with a serious life motto! Definitely a conversation starter.
