It is an enthusiastic acceptance to an invitation. Example: You are invited to a party to announce a couple's engagement to be married-- and they are very dear to you and you are happy about it.

When someone invites you to an event that you are very, very, eager and excited to attend. You say "I'll be there with bells on" I use that expression myself. Like say for instance, There is a party , and a guy that you really like is going to be there, that would be a good time to say it or even think it.

It is usually a sarcastic term used when you have an obligation to tend to that you are less than excited about. For example; you have a staff meeting at 7:00a.m. and you would reply "I'll be there with bells on".

I remember a cartoon with a cat hat had bells on his collar so the rats/mice would know when he was around.
And this woman who had a cat was always scared when he would sneak up on her. So she puts bells on his collar so she could hear him walking.
I think it means that someone will know when you've arrived somewhere.
