I"m getting married in Oct. I was thinking about the wedding bell favors for our guests. I"m not exactly sure when you give them to the guests and when do they ring them. I know for a kiss, but I don't want to do that cause I think I might get annoyed. I thought it would be nice to do as we leave the church or ?? I need ideas. Oh! and I don't want to give them before the ceremony because there might be children who will ring them during the ceremony.

I would put them in a pretty basket by the door at your reception w/ a sweet note simply saying "Please ring the bell as the bride and groom leave for their honeymoon." I think you have the right idea to have them ring it as you're leaving and not during the ceremony.

Bells To Ring At Wedding

After you and your new husband get married and walk down the aisle your guests will follow. Have your flower girl and ring bearer if you have them and are old enough to understand, hand out the bells as the guests are exiting the church. Otherwise have a bridesmaid or friend do it. After all the guests are out of the church you and your husband will come out and thank everyone and they will ring the bells. However, if you decide to do the bells they will be kept and will most likely be rung during the reception to have you two kiss. You can not avoid this if you give out bells. And even if they don't have the bells they will clink their glasses. Either way it will get annoying.

I am performing a ceremony in June for a couple who will be doing the bell ringing as a memorial at the beginning. Then there will be bell ringing as they recess.
And I'm sure there will be some bell tinkling during the actual ceremony part. But I guess it's something they can live with.
If you have a couple of young men or ladies that you need to find something for them to do, after the bridal party recesses, you could have them stand at the back with a basket of bells , and distribute them to your guests.

Wedding Bells as a tradition, are rung when the couple is leaving the church. The original tradition of the Wedding Bell originated in Ireland. A bell made of of pewter, brass, porcelain, or crystal was given to the couple to ring just after their kiss, it was meant to ward off evil spirits that may be lurking to trip up newlyweds. They then took this bell home with them, to display as a reminder of their special day.
Also known as a "make-up bell", it helps the Bride and Groom stay ever-mindful of their wedding vows and the love they shared on their wedding day. So whenever they are upset with each other one of them can ring the bell instead of walking away as a sort of no-blame truce.
Thinking of it in that way, I would suggest that the bells be handed out to your guests and rung, perhaps instead of tossing rice as you're leaving the church?

Well, the church usually rings them once they are leaving the church as husband and wife
at the reception, some people set up little cards that have bells on them and the people ring them when the bride and groom are announced when they enter the reception. I've always liked that part.

Have someone hand them out or put them in a basket as people leave the church. They will ring them as you walk out of the church. I know the ringing of the bells to prompt a kiss can get a bit annoying at the reception, but it WILL happen anyway. We chose not to include bells and people tapped their spoon on a glass to incite a kiss anyway. lol Best of luck to you! Congrats!

use the bells as table decorations at the reception. they ring them when the couple kisses! or you can have the ushers give them out as they seat the guests in the church and tell them to ring them when you kiss at the end. that would be kida cool! dont give them to the young children. maybe hand them bubbles instead.

Then don't do wedding bells. Do bubbles. People can clink their glasses at the reception to get you to kiss. Or have the wedding bells set up right where people enter the reception hall. Whatever you do, don't get annoyed. Have fun with it. Everyone knows people do these things.
