Kissing Wedding Bells

I plan on having them placed at the reception tables. Do you do one per person, per couple or a few scattered on the tables?

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

I ordered enough so I have one per person.

I ordered enough also to have one per person. I ordered these from Oriental Trading

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

ebay has a few up for auction. The exact ones posted by NYLisa. I want the silver bells.

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

Wanda, if you do not want to purchase them from ebay or if they do not have silver, Oriental Trading has them in silver too.

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

I ordered the bells, and when I got them they didn't ring like real bells....I was wondering how in a room of A LOT of people how is everyone going to hear them--lol (I feel it was waste of money!)

Michael's also has bells, without the cards.

MELTODD - I was thinking the same thing... how can you hear them. I was shaking them in my house with only me here and I could barely hear them

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

I feel the same as Melissa, when I rang the bells they really don't make that much sound - oh well, they're cute

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

Where did you get them from? For those that said they really don't make the 'bell' noise.

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

I think they are probably all the same - I got mine from Oriental Trading.

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

I ordered them from E-Bay, but I'm figuring they all sound the same way from any place....I was laughing with my mom when they came cause there was 100 of them in the box and it sounded like there was 2 in the box--lol I feel everyone will laugh at the reception saying 'I dont hear anything'....

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

Oh Man!!
Should I get them anyway? Cutie I agree they are cute though.
I also thought of getting the bigger bells. It reminds me of a cow that is how big it is.

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

I was at a wedding recently and can I just let you ladies know IMO I think they are a waste, they are way too tiny for you to even hear them. They are as light as feathers. I think real bells would serve a much better purpose if you are going for the ringing of bells effect. No one used them at the wedding that I was at to see the couple kiss, they still were clicking the glasses with their forks. Just thought I would share.

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

AWWWW Shamma... now Im not going to use them. I love to hear real world experience... maybe its not the experience I wanted to hear but it helps. Back to EBAY they go.

I guess Ill just get the cow bells

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

I'm using the cards by attaching it to a large bell (2 per table).

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

I am also attaching cards to a 3 & half inch dinner bell. I am doing one per person, I am ordering them from wholesalefavors.com there $1.75 & I rang them at Patchogue Floral & they sounded great!

Re: Kissing Wedding Bells

Thanks Stavia for that tip. Shamma thanks.

Now my question is what do I search for Cow bells, dinner bells... I am going to laugh everytime I hear the bells ring at the reception!
