*****Official 2013 Brides-Seat Filler List*****

Post your name here if you would like to be a seat filler for a fellow LIW 2013 Bride. If a bride can not make her minimum, she can call upon the seat fillers! This would mostly likely be within 2 weeks of the wedding. Respond promptly when asked, we don't want the bride getting married to have any extra stress.

** $50 is the amount of the gift, if FH goes, the amount will be $100 **

If you would like to be added please do the following:

***Rules*** (please give suggestions)

* I am going to also have a poll going until Feb. 15 about the gift amount.
http://www.liweddings.com/chat/topic-815653-1.html
POLL HAS ENDED. $50 is the amount with 20 votes.
$50 is per person, if FH is invited the amount would be $100.
* Please do not sign up to be a seat filler if you feel uncomfortable doing so (giving money, $50). Also, be prepared to go solo, unless the bride invites FH! :)
* It will be the brides discretion to invite just brides or brides & FH. If a bride has a uneven amount needed, please invite brides only (it will be uncomfortable if you need 3 people and one couple shows up and a single person).
* I decided to add what hall, so brides can pick other brides who are getting married at their hall.
* I think we should keep a list of who wants to and check people off so everyone gets a chance. but not delete people because you never know who is available for a given weekend!
* Maybe this rule should be at least 2 LIW bride or a LIW bride w/ her other half. Bottom line - it would nice to have a buddy there and I think for safety reasons we should travel in pairs. Please advise any bride attending which other LIW bride will be going so that they can make plans to go together.

Thread for Gift Poll- Good until February 15, 2013

I love this idea. My only concern being work. I work at least two weekends a month. So if I was asked id feel terrible if that weekend I had work, but I would be able to let you know asap though. ANother suggestion maybe have LIW brides looking for seat fillers invite that brides fiance that way they dont feel like they dont know anyone and feel uncomfortable because chances are a bride will need more than a few to meet her minimum. Maybe take a poll and up the gift amount? DharmaColbie86- Allison Floral Terrace! just my opinion.

DharmaColbie86 I added your suggestion but this will only work if a bride needs an even amount of seat fillers.
My FH wouldn't be up for this either, but it's nice to have a girls night also.
This list is from the original thread created by Lauren1802 (why she is first) and then the order everyone responded.

Is it possible to institute a rule stipulating that at least 2 LIW brides should be at the wedding? I suggest it only because I think it would suck to go to a wedding a not know anyone there. Plus, I think it's just a good idea in general to travel and hang out in pairs. Thoughts?

ETA - Maybe this rule should be at least 2 LIW bride or a LIW bride w/ her other half. Bottom line - it would nice to have a buddy there and I think for safety reasons we should travel in pairs.

This sounds awesome!!! Can I please be added to the list? DB2013 - Dani - The Woodlands on the Green

Just wanted to make sure, if we get asked to be a seat filler but we cannot make it, it is alright to decline? It makes sense in my head but I just wanted to make sure.

I do like this idea of not having to be completely alone. My FH would probably love to be invited, he loves weddings and is very sociable lol. But also I would feel more comfortable being with another LI Bride at least, and it would be really fun to catch up and compare notes!

Agreed. That way, the fillers would at least know someone there, so to speak. I think that it's important that the fillers be able to commit and attend if they have agreed so that the Bride still doesn't end up with empty spots at the very end. You'll have to be the type up for a bit of adventure!

Add me too!

you can totally decline, then the bride should 'move down the list'

Updated.
No one has done the poll. Does that mean I get to pick the gift amount?
