Anyone ever use these kissing bells? These are 1 1/4 inch high. My intention is to add a card with purple personalized ribbon. -- where can I get the ribbon and how much is it?

If you have used them (been given them at a wedding) are they loud enough?

I saw tiny ones pre attached to cards but I just can't imagine they are loud enough to hear.

Thanks much.

I saw 24 for $11 in one of the bridal mags. At a recent wedding, they had 2 of those bells per tale and people rang them when they wanted the couple to kiss. they were surprisingly loud!

Katrina did you want the really small ones or the ones that are slightly larger?

No, not the tiny ones. I'm thinking they need to be at least an inch high.

Jingle bells is an idea that's been suggested. CubanBride is doing them - from Martha Stewart - pic is forth coming from CubanBride.

Re: Kissing Bells

Jingle bells sound cute. Here's some pics.

If you get a nicer crystal/ glass/ silver/ pewter bell you can have it double as your favor.

First one's hold card with poem $1.75 each

Second 24 for $5.99

Re: Kissing Bells

Party City by me had no bells There were tons of boxes - like they just opened? But I thought they had been open for a while? Maybe there was a mad dash on bells for the holidays?

These are jingle bells:

The bells posted above are wedding bells, not jingle bells.

Yeah, the bells I was going to buy (ebay 192 bells for $20) are the first ones I found. I still have not found jingle bells but I will keep looking.

I did find doilies at Party City today though (rose petal cones).
