Handwritten Napkins

Plan for 3–5 cocktail napkins per guest for the full event. For a cocktail hour only, 2–3 per guest is enough. So a 150-guest wedding needs roughly 450–750 napkins. It's always smart to order 10–15% extra for spills and unexpected plus-ones.

Wedding cocktail napkins are approx. 4.75″ × 4.75″ or 5″ × 5″ (beverage size) or 6.5" x 6.5" (luncheon size). Beverage-size napkins are the most popular for wedding cocktail hours, bars, and dessert tables. Luncheon napkins work better for buffet lines or food stations where guests need a little more coverage.

Yes! At Rubi & Lib you can fully customize your wedding napkins. Choose from foil-stamped, full-color printed, or embossed options. Add your names, wedding date, monogram, or a completely custom design. You can also pick your napkin color, foil color, and font style to match your wedding theme.

Foil-stamped napkins feature a metallic or matte foil pressed onto the napkin, giving an elegant look, popular for monograms and classic wedding designs. Full-color printed napkins use ink to reproduce any image, photo, or multicolor design directly on the napkin. Foil stamping is best for a formal, timeless feel, while full-color printing is ideal for detailed artwork, pet illustrations, or colorful themes.

We recommend ordering your custom wedding napkins 4–6 weeks before your event to allow time for production, proofing, and shipping. Need them sooner? Rush production is available on most styles. The earlier you order, the more time you'll have for design revisions and peace of mind.

Rubi & Lib offers wedding napkins in a wide range of styles and themes. Popular categories include monogram napkins, handwritten script designs, floral patterns, pet lover napkins, fun facts about the couple, and rehearsal dinner napkins. You can also shop by printing method: foil stamped, full color, embossed, or linen-like texture. Browse our full Wedding Napkins collection to find the perfect match for your celebration.
