Other ideas for exit from church

We are getting married at the Basilica, and you cannot throw rice/seeds or blow bubbles when we exit the church.  Does anyone have any suggestions for what we can do when we exit the church?  If you got married at the Basilica, was there something you did?

    Have you seen the "mini bells"?  I don't know what else to call them...but I've seen them at Michaels, and heard that some use those as they leave their church.  You could pass them out and put a cute note on it, say to ring the as you exit??

    I'm doing bells. They're not the mini ones however. I checked thos out, and they looked a little cheaper than what I was hoping for. Everyone will get a bell, and ring it when we leave our ceremony.

    Love the bell idea! It fits with a church perfectly too!
    That or if you didnt want to buy them for each person you could see if the Basilica would ring their bells as you exit the church - that could be really cool too.

    You can do a butterfly or dove release.  They're both really fun.  I want a butterfly release, but my fiance doesn't like bugs.  In my work, butterflies are beautiful pieces of art.  In his world, butterflies are bugs.

    We did a sparkler exit (pics in bio), but if bubbles are a no-go, then sparklers might be too.  We got them super cheap after the 4th of July.

    I am getting married at the Cathedral and we are going to do a large group picture on the steps with all the guests.  Not quite the same as bubbles or birdseed, but the Cathedral has the same rules as the Basilica.
