so we're not doing ribbon wands... but how are these?

FH was supposed to order the ribbon wands last week but didn't and now its too late (I would put them together this and next wednesday as its my only night off of dance)

so we discussed having little bells for everyone to ring (and its also an irish tradition, but we don't have to tell him that lol)
Make-up bells. The chime of bells is thought to keep evil spirits away, restore harmony if a couple is fighting, and also remind a couple of their wedding vows. Giving a bell as a gift has become an Irish tradition. You could also have your greeters hand out tiny bells to your guests to ring as you process. (You might want to let them know when they're supposed to be rung - perhaps mention it in your program along with an explanation of the custom). Guests could also ring their little bells at the reception in lieu of clinking glasses.

so I went on wrapwithus's website and found these
what do we all think? do you think they'll work okay? I mean... they're only going to be used as we leave the church.

Its a cute idea, Michaels sell a box of little bells like that in silver and white. What about still making your own ribbon wands you buy the lil ribbon spools and cut to the right length and attach them to dowels? I like the bell idea thou

I was supposed to make the ribbons, but I had to order the supplies online. I couldn't find the right color ribbon or dowels.

do you know how much the bells are at michaels? we looked at the one in bay shore (by my house) but i didn't see any.

I will be at Michaels later and check the price of the bells, Bayshore is old I like the new shiny michales store
