Found on THE PINTEREST (for the chic, "nerdy" couple):

I hope the kids are allowed at this wedding to help poor Grandma find her seat.

Edited to fix second link.

Lol whatever couple expects my dumb ass to figure out a fucking equation in order to find my seat has got another thing coming. Not a chance in hell.

If you need to post instructions on your seating chart, you're doing it wrong.

There's no need to flash how smart you are. If you're a chemist, there are other ways to show your love of chemistry (or books, or math, or skiing, or whatever you're into).

This is so AW-ish.

The main thing I was thinking when looking at the periodic table one is, "They must have had a super early RSVP deadline to put that together."

Ha ha! I do not understand the point of the whole production.

The periodic table one seems so needlessly confusing. And I don't see full names on there anywhere, so how do you ensure people actually end up with the right magnet?! I don't know about you guys but I have a lot of wedding guests with the same initials and similar first names.

HisGirlFriday13 · May 2014

The couple who does the at better be prepared for me to sit wherever I damn well please. I actually probably COULD solve those equations and I wouldn't, on principle.

There are so many other things you could do -- number your tables after your favourite elements, for example.

It's so fucking pretentious. I want to vomit.

misshart00 · May 2014

I could see having the "cute" element made from names at the actual table, but not showing them how to get there. Too confusing.

AddieCake · May 2014

Embarrass your math-challenged friends publicly! Thats klassy hosting right there.

huskypuppy14 · May 2014

I like the periodic table one, but there is a much simpler way to do it. You have regular escort cards with everyone's full names like normal. Then you put the little square with their element name on their card in the corner. That way, no one has to solve anything, but you still have your creative idea.

My sister did something similar with scrabble tiles. She did regular escort cards, but everyone's card had a scrabble letter corresponding with the first initial of your first name.

I would plop myself down on the floor in protest. I copy edit for a living and you can bet I won't be forcing anyone to diagram a sentence to find their table.

ElcaB · May 2014

I'd be standing there until the reception was over.

Communications majors don't do math, yo.

beethery · May 2014

If I ever, EVER saw some shit like that, I would just do one of these:

And probably leave or sit wherever the hell I felt like. I don't do numbers.

bouncertony · May 2014

Guess who'll be sitting at the bar all night!

bmydesigner · May 2014

If I saw this, I would honestly be tempted to leave. Because I'm a design major. I don't do numbers. Like at all. I haven't had a math class since high school.

Jen4948 · May 2014

Sorry, but I'm not going to work to find my seat. If you can't tell me where to sit in a straightforward way, I won't celebrate your speshul day with you.

VulgarGirl · May 2014

Well that shit just ain't gonna happen. My ADD kicked in half way through reading the explanation of how I figure out where the hell to sit.

Inkdancer · May 2014

Unless the math is 1+0 or 3-1, I'm not doing it.

PrettyGirlLost · May 2014

I'm a scientist and no way in hell would I be doing "work" at your damn reception. I'm not at work, it's supposed to be my day off and I'm supposed to be having fun, sheesh.

1st- Math can go fuck itself. Unless it's a dilution series or simple concentration calculations, I don't do equations. . . like ever. I'm not a fucking engineer.

2nd- The periodic table idea is cute, and not that complicated, but if you have multiple ppl with the same initials, you are fucked. PP's suggestion above on how to do it, was better.

adverb1129 · May 2014

Why do people want to make this any harder than it needs to be? Your guests will most likely refuse to play the game and just sit wherever they want.

I was at a wedding where the table chart didn't have names in alphabetical order and just that was enough to cause confusion and mayhem- hell no to tricky seating charts!

RebeccaB88 · May 2014

I'd probably just get together with all the other non-math majors and we can order pizza and eat it in the parking lot.

Cookie Pusher · May 2014

Anyone who would have me do math obviously doesn't know me very well.

larrygaga · May 2014

I would just go sit somewhere and whoever comes to try and take my seat I would try and make them believe that their math was all wrong and here is why my math was right.

kitty8403 · May 2014

Whoa.
I do not have this kind of time. Whoever is able to make a flipping periodic table with a cutesy element name for every guest does not have enough real stuff to do.

PrincessOfHavoc · May 2014

I'm gonna make my guests match up random bolts and nuts to find their chair. I'm gonna be younique, yo cuz I be sum kinds of speshul.

Screw that. I ain't got time for that. I'm printing nice basic escort cards and basic numbers.

I'm friendly with the maths. I'd still be out in the parking lot eating pizza.

kmmssg · May 2014

I'd be holding that line up all damn night, so not a good idea. Unfortuantely my geeking math freak DH would probably revel in figuring it all out for people and directing them to his seat. I pray he never sees something like that.

PrettyGirl, I'm a fucking engineer

and I would hate that too, just because if I made some stupid little mistake I would never hear the end of it. Hell, I don't ever solve equations anymore. All my work is done in Matlab and I don't have a mobile version of that program.
