Every Table Deserves a Personal Touch: Custom Napkins From Rubi & Lib
A personalized napkin might seem like a small thing. But at a beautifully set table, it is often the first thing a guest reaches for and the last thing they tuck into their bag on the way out. At Rubi & Lib, our custom napkins are designed for people who understand that the details are what take a celebration from lovely to genuinely unforgettable.

Personalized Napkins in Every Size for Every Occasion
Our custom napkins are available in cocktail, luncheon, and dinner sizes so you can find exactly the right fit for your event. Whatever the occasion, the customization process at Rubi & Lib always starts with your details. Your names, your date, your colors, your fonts. Here is what you can personalize on every order:
- Names and event date in your chosen typography

Everything You Need to Know About Custom Napkins
What types of custom napkins does Rubi & Lib offer?
We offer five main napkin styles. Foil-stamped napkins feature real metallic foil, available in gold, silver, rose gold, and other metallic finishes, pressed into the napkin surface for a luxe, elevated look. Full-color illustrated napkins are printed with custom artwork, pet portraits, venue illustrations, or any design our team creates for you. Embossed napkins have a raised impression pressed into the napkin without ink, giving a subtle, textured, letterpress-style finish. Cocktail napkins are our standard personalized bar napkins available in a range of layouts, fonts, and color printing options. Linen-like napkins have a soft, fabric-like texture that feels more substantial than traditional paper and is popular for formal dinner settings.
What is the difference between foil stamped and full-color napkins?
Foil-stamped napkins use a heat process to apply real metallic foil, which means they work best with text-based or simple graphic designs, the foil does not reproduce fine photographic detail. Full-color napkins are digitally printed, which means they can reproduce detailed illustrations, pet portraits, watercolor designs, and complex artwork with full color accuracy. If you want your dog's face on your napkin, full-color is the right choice. If you want elegant script monogram initials in gold, foil stamping is the right choice.
How many napkins should I order for a wedding?
For cocktail hour bar service, the standard estimate is two to three napkins per guest. For a 100-person wedding cocktail hour, order 200 to 300 napkins. If you are also using napkins at the dinner tables or dessert stations, add one to two per person per station. It is always better to order slightly more than you need, leftover napkins can be saved for home entertaining or gifted as extras.
What size are your custom cocktail napkins?
Our standard cocktail napkins are 5 by 5 inches when folded, which is the industry-standard size for bar and cocktail service. We also offer beverage napkins in 4.75 by 4.75 inches and larger dinner napkins in 6.5 by 6.5 inches for table settings.
Can I use custom napkins for events other than weddings?
Absolutely. Our custom napkins are popular for bridal showers, bachelorette parties, baby showers, birthday milestones, anniversary dinners, holiday parties, corporate events, and graduation celebrations. Any event where you want a personal, memorable touch at the bar or table benefits from a custom napkin.
How do I submit my personalization information?
After adding napkins to your cart, you will be prompted to enter your personalization details at checkout, typically your names, date, and any additional text or artwork notes. If you have a specific design in mind, you can upload reference images or describe your vision in the notes field. Our design team will send a proof to your email before production begins.
Can I include a pet portrait on my napkins?
Yes, pet portrait napkins are one of our most popular designs. Submit clear, well-lit photos of your pet from the front, and our illustrators will create a custom portrait to be printed on your napkins. Pet portrait napkins are available in both full-color illustrated style and foil-stamped style.
What is the minimum order for custom napkins?
Our minimum order starts at 25 napkins, making them accessible even for small intimate gatherings. Pricing decreases per napkin as quantity increases, so larger orders are a better value per unit.
How long does it take to receive my custom napkin order?
Standard production is about seven business days after proof approval, plus shipping transit time. Rush production options are available at checkout if your event is approaching. We recommend ordering two to three weeks before your event date for standard orders.
Do you offer samples before I place a full order?
We do not offer physical samples due to the custom nature of our products, but every order includes a digital proof for your approval before production begins. You can also browse our reviews and customer photo gallery to see exactly how finished napkins look when delivered.
