Hand-Illustrated for Your Day: Custom Illustrated Wedding Napkins From Rubi & Lib
An illustrated napkin is a tiny piece of art with your story drawn right into it, your dog mid-tail-wag, the venue where you said yes, a motif that means something only to you. At Rubi & Lib, our illustrated wedding napkins are created by our own illustration team, so every design feels personal, original, and unmistakably yours.
We are a woman-owned small business based in the USA, and we have been helping people create thoughtfully personalized celebrations since 2011. Each illustration is drawn with real care, because the details that feel handmade are the ones guests remember.
Personalized With Original, Hand-Drawn Art
This is where personalization becomes artwork. Here is what you can bring to life on every order:
- A hand-drawn portrait of your pet, from a favorite photo
- An illustration of your venue, bouquet, or a meaningful detail
- Names and wedding date in coordinating typography
- A color palette matched to your wedding aesthetic
Original Artwork, Drawn by Our Illustration Team
Every illustrated napkin starts with our artists, not a clip-art library. You share a photo or an idea, and we draw it, which means the final design is one of a kind and made to suit your style, whether you want something playful, romantic, or elegantly simple.
Pet Portraits Your Guests Will Adore
Illustrated pet napkins are one of our signature designs and a guaranteed conversation starter at the bar. We capture your pet's personality in a custom portrait that guests genuinely fall for, and that you will want to keep long after the last drink is poured.
Illustrated Napkins for Weddings, Showers, and Cocktail Hour
These napkins are made for wedding receptions and cocktail hours, and they bring the same charm to bridal showers, engagement parties, and rehearsal dinners. They are practical, personal, and impossible not to smile at.
Why an Illustrated Napkin Becomes a Keepsake
Most napkins get used and tossed. An illustrated one gets tucked into a pocket and saved. When the design is original art of something you love, a small paper square turns into a keepsake, and that is exactly the kind of detail that makes a day feel unforgettable.

Everything You Need to Know About Illustrated Wedding Napkins
How does the illustration process work?
You share a photo or a description of what you would like illustrated, and our design team draws an original piece of art for your napkins. You will see a proof before anything is printed.
Can you illustrate my pet from a photo?
Yes, pet portraits are one of our most popular illustrated designs. Clear, well-lit, front-facing photos give our illustrators the best detail to work from.
How long does a custom illustration take?
Custom artwork adds a little time to the proofing stage. We recommend ordering two to three weeks before your event so there is room to review and refine the illustration.
What can I have illustrated besides a pet?
Couples often choose their venue, florals, a pet, a favorite cocktail, or a meaningful motif. If you can describe it, our team can usually draw it.
Are illustrated napkins full color or foil?
Most illustrated napkins are printed in full color to capture fine detail, and simpler line illustrations can also be rendered in foil for a metallic look.
What sizes are available?
Our standard cocktail napkins are about 5 by 5 inches folded, with dinner and beverage sizes available on many designs.
What is the minimum order?
Our minimum starts at 25 napkins, so illustrated napkins work beautifully for both small gatherings and large receptions.
Will I approve the artwork before it prints?
Yes. We send a digital proof of the illustration and layout for your approval before production begins, so you can request adjustments.
How many should I order?
Plan on two to three napkins per guest for cocktail hour, so 200 to 300 for a 100-guest wedding, plus a few extras to keep as mementos.
Can the illustration match my other wedding pieces?
Yes. We can carry the same illustration and palette onto your cups, signage, and other stationery so your whole celebration feels cohesive.
