The most popular novelty number plates often contain words, phrases, or franchises that speak
to the intended owner. If you are ordering for yourself, consider where you intend to place your
novelty license plate; such as in an entertainment area, kitchen, or living room. If the plate is
intended for a friend, then consider their interests for the best possible results.
