Each year, Modern Bride magazine compiles their “Top 100 Things We Love” list, and we are proud to announce that we made the list! Having two of our gifts featured among their top picks for wedding favors, gifts and accessories for 2008 is quite an accomplishment. We hear a lot of great comments from brides who love our unique wedding favors, and now we know that Modern Bride loves them, too!

Featured in the August/September 2008 issue, these adorable, music-themed place cardholders are ranked at #76 and include the “Ain’t Love Grand?” piano and the “Music Stand.” The detail of both the black miniature grand piano and the petite stand with “sheet” music makes this dynamic duo an excellent choice for music lovers, as well as garden, black-and-white and Victorian-themed weddings. Versatile and stunning, these place cardholders are also a great way to display photos, making them delightful favors that guests can use around the house after the wedding.

Among the many boutique-quality favors and gifts offered at MyWeddingFavors.com, we proudly feature the complete line of Kate Aspen products, of which one was also featured as a top pick for Modern Bride. The Garden Topiary place cardholder made the list at #28. It only stands to reason, since this wedding favor has long been a popular product in the Garden-themed favors section because of the realistic detail.

Many other “favorites” that made their list can also be found at MyWeddingFavors.com, such as silver-plated wedding-cake place cardholders, elegant monogram stamps, mini gumball dispensers, personalized Hershey’s Kisses, seashell cardholders, hot cocoa favors, wedding conversation hearts, personalized fortune cookies, silver-plated wedding bells, fans and seashell cookies. Go ahead. Browse around. There are plenty of styles to choose from!

Every year for the past 100 years, Hungarians in the city of Roma would bury a double bass to signal the end of the wedding season and also would confess their sins that were committed against the instrument. Then they followed up with an all night party. A strange custom to be sure, but a custom nonetheless. Well 2008 saw that custom nixed from Hungary’s event calender. The bureaucrats in Hungary basically forgot to put it on the list of festivals that has been held every year on the first Thursday of every February.

The festival is included along with the carnival that celebrates the arrival of Spring. The custom is really a tradition of the gypsy musicians who have carried on the tradition year after year. However, the strangest part is that the local government of Roma had no choice but to ban the ceremony since it wasn’t listed on Hungary’s Festival List.  So even if it was an accident, it doesn’t matter. It’s not on the list, so it doesn’t exist.

And you thought our government was strange.

Mr. Christopher from the My Wedding Favors blog. A nice and sweet bit of news out of Los Angeles. Rapper Snoop Dogg pulled a fast one on his wife Shante this weekend. Snoop told his wife that they would be going to an anniversary party for a friend of his and that he was an honorary person at the event. When they arrived at the party and the time came for the toast, Snoop stood up and began. His wife was completely caught off guard as Snoop then began giving a speech about her. She was duped by Snoop!

Snoop began renewing his wedding vows right there in front of family and friends as he welled up with emotion. He then presented her with a beautiful diamond ring to commemorate the occasion. So it appears that Snoop does have soft spot after all and that the years of hard partying are behind him. But don’t expect to stop seeing Snoop being Snoop, because he still has a career built on upholding his gun toting, smack down image and he does a fantastic job at separating the two and managing the fantasy versus reality.

Congratulations to Snoop and Shante at the renewal. Hopefully we’ll see this event appear on an upcoming episode of Snoop’s reality show. Let us know over here at My Wedding Favors when you secretly plan your next event so that we can make sure that the tables are adorned with unique wedding favors and gifts!
