Ring a Ding Ding

One of the details that we're adding into our wedding (among a SLEW of projects) will be bells. I found a few containers of beautiful bells in shades of blues, silver, and white glitter at Michaels at Christmas time for 1/2 off, and scooped them up.

With the help of my lovely MOH, we created a little poem as follows:

In case you can't read it, it says: "Rejoice in the new husband and wife. Help ring in the Regehr's new life. Don't let this bell go amiss... You need it to see the couple kiss"

I cut the sign to size, punched a hole in them, and tied them onto the 100 bells with a green ribbon. Here is the completed project:



I placed all the bells in a black woven basket with a cute sign on the front. Our plan is to have our wedding party pass the bells out during our certificate signing, and have everyone ring the bells as we walk back down the aisle as husband and wife.

The guests will have to keep the bell at their table, because in order to have us kiss, they will need to ring the bell instead of clinking a glass, and then donate to one of the 3 charities we've decided on: Vancouver Orphaned Kitten Association (in honor of our kitties), The Alzheimer's Society (in honor of my Grandpa), and the Canadian Cancer Society (in honor of all our friends and family that we lost too early).

What do you think of our project?
