I'm gonna make this a 2 part question since they are pretty simple.
What are you using as a cake topper?
We decided to go with an all black monogram. Our cake will be ivory with black and gold ribbon. I really didn't want to spend too much on this and got it for a really great price on Etsy.
What are you using for table numbers/names?
This is an area that I have not even touched on yet. I'd like to do something a little different but I'm not that creative so I will probably wind up with numbers in some sort of frame.

Cake Topper- We are not 100% sure yett if we are going to have something on top of our cake. My mom bought us a lenox bride and groom but it might be too heavy. We will prob just put it by the side of the cake.
Table numbers- We are doing blinged out frames with numbers popping out of them on each table. Its hard to explain but looks pretty cool.

Cake topper- penguins!!! I had them specially made from ETSY because we are penguin obsessed!!!!
Table numbers- I am making them myself, they are table cards with ribbon and bling embellishments. I really wanted to do the names of places we love of have vacationed but I just went to an event that had table numbers like this and it was a nightmare trying to find my table. So I think with numbers.

We arent sure about our cake topper yet. It depends on the design of our cake.
Our tale numbers will be the guest books too. Each table will have its own book that we read on the our anniverary (if we can wait that long)

Cake topper: We did a personalized one from Nicole Clark. It is a mini-me version of FH, myself and our pup. It is the one surprise I didn't tell my mom!
Table #'s: I have to pick up today... I used pics from our engagement shoot and a photo editor (Pic monkey) to write the table numbers on. Then I will put them in 5x7 frames. Wanted to incorporate the engagement pics somewhere else other than the STD's, esp. since we only chose one pic for the STD.

Cake topper: an alligator bride and a bear groom ordered on Etsy. ClaycutiesbyMelissa. She is excellent and I highly recommend!!!
Table #'s: I used player name and numbers from our favorite hockey team.My friend is a graphic designer and she made them look like the back of their jerseys in black and white. They came out awesome.

Cake topper- Monogram letters first initails and last name. I DIYed it. Pictures in my wedding things album.
Table #s- I DIYed the frames; they are blinged out. And I'm not sure about the numbers yet. I'm thinking using the same design from our invitations.

Cake topper- I made a Dorothy & Scarecrow (from an ornament) cake topper on a yellow brick road. Our cake is going to be that fun, wonky different shapes cake tiers with a yellow brick down the front and with little red poppies on either side of the road
Table numbers- also a DIY, I painted little wooden birdhouses in our colors & glued on flowers and my Father drilled in those metal guys that hold up the numbers. We also painted & matted the signs for the actual numbers.

Re: **QOTD 3/12/13**
For our cake topper, we will have a monogram S in swarovski crystals for our last name and then on the middle layer, a groom with a fishing rod with a ring at the end and on bottom layer, a bride reaching up for the ring (since we met on plenty of fish, this was fitting lol)
For table #s I want to use blinged out letters in frames. I wanted to do the wine bottles but was afraid ppl will not see them and wint expect them to be table #'s. But we are still putting a wine bottle at each table with our engagement pics

Ooh that is awesome! I sent Maureen a pic of the half bride/half grooms cake (pinterest!), but if that doesn't work then I want an ombre cake that goes from ivory to navy. Nothing too crazy, but still different.

Don't think I'm going to have a cake topper, probably just a cluster of flowers.
I'm doing the age table numbers. Like us at age 1 for table 1. It was such a pain to get all those pics from FHs mom!!! Lol and I hope we don't get past 12 tables because I was not an attractive teenager!!!lol
