I love that idea, I may have to steal that 
. I absolutely hate the clinking glasses too but I have no idea how to stop it either.
I don't even know what to search online to find other ideas...
"glass clanking" isn't really working....lol
Found a good site with good ideas....after I go and post this question....LOL
I detest this tradition, and my dad's side is notorious for this. I think I am going to have our DJ ask for guests not to do it.
Ooo I thought it was annoying too! We gave our guests 3 options to make us kiss. 1. Sing "Take me out to the ball game" with home team replaced with Padres (we're big baseball fans!), 2. UCLA 8 clap (i'm a ucla alum! and proud of it! :-) ), 3. If people do clink (cause there are always those people who forget the rules), our emcees picked a random number from a bag, and asked that table a trivia question about us. They had to get the question right for us to kiss. It made it alittle more interesting and made the guests work harder to get us to kiss.
You can pretty much do anything you want with this and people are good at participating!
At my friend's wedding this summer she put printed song lyrics to love songs on every table. They made an annoucement that your entire table had to stand up and sing to get the couple to kiss. It was a HUGE hit! People quickly enhausted the songs provided and moved on to their own. Our table sang "Love Shack" starting with the part where they yell, "You're WHAT???" We silenced the entire room! Obviously, it can get rowdy but it was a ton of fun and the bride and groom loved it.
Oh man, I remember clanking glasses every 5 minutes as a kid! My poor aunt and uncle! After a while I think they ignored it and it died down. The trivia idea sounds much cuter and less annoying. I'm not really sure if we'll have that rowdy of people that want to sing songs.
I feared the clinking, and was happy (and somewhat surprised) that there was none! Hm...in retrospect, maybe that's cuz we confiscated the silverware! (We had wooden chopsticks and black plastic cutlery for those who couldn't/wouldn't do chopsticks.)
I recently read a bride's story where she and her husband made anyone who clinked come up on the dance floor with their S.O. and demonstrate how to kiss, otherwise they wouldn't do it. Depending on your guests, that could put an end to it! 
I really do'nt think there's any way to avoid it.
However, at my cousin's wedding they had a large jar with all the couples' names in it, so when they had to kiss they drew out the names of a couple and they also had to kiss. I think it deterred it somewhat because people didn't want to have to kiss too!
At a friend's wedding, they asked everyone who wanted to make the bride + groom kiss make up a silly haiku poem. It worked out pretty well and cut down on the annoying noise!
I am thinking of doing something like girliusedtobe. I think we're going to make it really hard for them! I would like our guests to write a little song and then they have to sing it. Solo, no group songs. I figure that combining a tough task of writing a song with the embarassment of singing a solo will vastly reduce the number of times we have to go through the whole routine, and if anyone can be bothered to go through with all that, then we'll oblige them with a kiss! Plus I think it will be pretty funny if anyone gets up to sing.
I agree the clinking is high pitch. But my friend had bells on the tables with cute colored ribbon and they doubled as favors. I think the bells sounded nice when everyone was ringing them together.
Wow, how have I never head of this? I guess I didn't go to a lot of weddings as a kid or was too busy shaking my cute little behind. I'm glad I caught wind of this before my own wedding so there can be no clinking and clanking.
I recently attended a wedding and the clinking really got on my nerves. I also am not a big fan of having the bride & groom kiss on demand. As someone at my table put it, "They're not performing animals!" I'm glad that no one clinked at my wedding. But, to each his own, and for those of you that enjoy it - let them clink away!
I completely forgot about this at our wedding. People clanked and we just swore under our breath. I was at a wedding where whomever clanked, they had to stand up, kiss their date and if they did, the bride and groom kissed. Another wedding, people had to tell stories. I always thought kareoke (sp?) is a good idea. Make people sing, it would be hilarious!
The only wedding I went to where they did the clink-to-kiss kind of thing, the person initiating it had to stand up and talk about a memory they had about the bride or groom first.
Definatley no glass clinking at my wedding--I'm afraid of the sound of clinking glass! It literally gives me a panic attack! I may put out little bells or something instead.
I don't want to take part in that. I don't think I have attended a single wedding where anyone clanged glasses or anything else to get the couple to kiss, and no one cared either way.
We'll kiss, if the CIQ (Clinker In Question) goes first with a person of our choosing.

Hey everyone.
I want to avoid that horrid clanking noise at my wedding and try to find a better option for it. I don't want the guest to have noise makers of any kind, after all this is a wedding not a birthday party -
So far the only alternitive I have found is making the person(s) who want us to kiss, sing a song (verse or two) with the word "love" in it.
What do you think? What will you/did you do?
