"I'll be there with bells on" on rsvp card...nobody gets it :(

HMM, I might be weird, BC I don't get it. LOL. What do you mean by bells?

FMF it's from the saying "I'll be there with bells on my fingers and rings on my toes." It's meant to convey excitement and enthusiasm.

I thought it was super and had seriously considered using that one or the one that Shellie suggested, but opted for something more Halloweenie.

Its adorable, I love it! more people probably get it than you think, I'll bet people come up to you at the wedding and say things like here I am with my bells and silly things like that

I love it!

And I would actually show up with bells on...........

I think it is super cute!!!!

I love it. I would circle the first one and cross out bells for cymbals.

I totally feel you. We wanted to do

__ Wouldn't Miss it for the World

__ Will be toasting from afar.

No one understood than will be toasting from afar means decline. So we ended up changing it to, Will be toasting from afar; We decline with regret. *sighs* I gave in on this one. I totally get yours!

It's mostly going to be the young'ns who don't know/understand

Some kid I was talking to didn't know what being salty with someone meant. Made me feel old.

I get it and love it! I thought "With bells on" was a common phrase people were familiar with. Sorry your people aren't getting. I think it is super clever on your part!!!

Ride a white horse to Banbury(?) Cross,

To see a fine lady upon a white horse.

With rings on her fingers & bells on her toes,

She shall have music wherever she goes.

Grandma used to recite it while bouncing us on her foot. No wonder she ended up with arthritis in her knees!

I think it's very cute, and I would have gotten a chuckle out of it had I received it. I don't know how common it is to use such a phrase today, and I'm thinking the younger crowd might not "get it." I'm sure your older guests enjoyed it.

LOVE IT! And I'd totally break out my little ankle jingle bell thingie that I made a few years ago and wear it to your wedding! I'd literally be there with bells on!!!! =D

I use that phrase all day in the hay!

I totally get it and think it's cute, but some people don't even "get" standard RSVP card language

I love that Shellie wish I could have used that

I used the same RSVP card responses but most of my guests have gotten it and thought it was cute. Some cards have had family members respond with different options too (some with bells and some without). Sorry your guests aren't getting it!

I don't think I'd get it either, but it is fun.
