Polka Dot Hand Painted Glass Wedding Bell*
The Polka Dot Hand Painted Glass Wedding Bell is designed for today's bride, the one with style and flair who still has a touch of the traditional on her mind. Rows of alternating matte gold and silver dots cascade around the glass, every dot hand cut and hand painted, so no two bells catch the candlelight in quite the same way. A matte gold disk sits at the base of the bell's handle, and inside hangs a silver clapper with a clear, lovely sound.
That sound is the whole point of it. Rather than guests hunting for a fork to tap against a wine glass, the room fills with bells and the bride and groom are inspired to kiss. It is the oldest game at any reception, and a hand painted glass bell plays it far better than cutlery does, because it sits on the table looking like part of the setting until the moment everyone reaches for it.
A personalized tag is what makes it yours. The tag carries up to two lines of eighteen characters, personalized in-house by HansonEllis as it has been for customers since 1999, and that is room enough for two names and a wedding date, or a short line thanking guests for being there. Put the tag with the bell and the favor stops being generic and starts being a souvenir of one particular evening.
It is a lovely gift for the bride and groom on their wedding day, and it works just as well handed out as a wedding favor so that every guest can cheer the couple on toward that goodhearted kiss. True love is like a diamond: it is rare, it is beautiful, and it lasts forever. Celebrate it with a stylishly crafted toasting bell that guests take home and keep long after the last dance.

- A short thank you to guests, so the favor says something rather than just naming a couple.
- A surname and a year, for a family celebration or a milestone anniversary.

- Each attendant's name on her own tag, so the bells double as place cards for the bridal party.

Which one should I choose
A kissing bell has to look like part of the table before anyone rings it, so the choice is really about how it sits at a place setting.
| Polka Dot Hand Painted Glass Wedding Bell with a personalized tag | Choose it when you want the bell to carry your names and date and be kept as a souvenir of the evening. |
|---|---|
| The same bell with no tag | Choose that when you are buying one or two as a gift for the couple, or when the table already carries your names elsewhere. |
| A paper favor box or a printed program | Choose that when the favor is meant to be read and then recycled rather than rung and taken home. |
| Tapping a fork against a wine glass | The default, free, and the reason someone always chips a glass before the main course. |
For a reception where the toast matters, the tagged bell wins: it decorates the table, gets the kiss, and leaves with the guest.
