Does this mean :there was no cause for a big celebration

No echar las campanas al vuelo means not to anticipate things. I would say.

What would be a synonym in Spanish for "No echar las campanas al vuelo"?

"Echar campanas al vuelo" es celebrar con júbilo. En el sentido que Robin dice, es celebrar algo antes de tiempo.

In that sense, then I would say:

No habia que echar campanas al vuelo.
Don't count your eggs before they hatch.
