Why We Think In Every Chapter Makes Some of the Best Dog Wedding Decor Out There

An editorial pick from NamNamNow  ·  Phnom Penh, Cambodia

We're in the business of taking dogs seriously, so when we ran across a wedding decor studio built entirely around getting a couple's dog right, we wanted to feature it. In Every Chapter (ineverychapter.com) hand-illustrates a couple's dog and puts that portrait on the cocktail napkins, the bar sign, and the keepsakes guests take home. This is our opinion, not an independent review or a paid placement — we just think it's worth knowing about.

Why We're Featuring It

• One illustrator per couple. Not a print-on-demand template — the same artist works across every item in an order, so a napkin, a bar sign, and a tote actually match.
• It doesn't read as a costume. The style leans editorial rather than cutesy, which is a real design decision, not an accident.
• It solves a specific, common problem. Venue rules and long-distance weddings keep plenty of dogs from attending. This is a considered answer to that, not an afterthought.
• You can try it for $10 first. A preview mockup shows the artwork on a few sample items before you commit to a full package, credited toward the order.

The Lineup

• Cocktail napkins — the portrait shows up at the bar, in guests' hands, in candid photos.
• Bar sign — the same artwork at a bigger scale, usually paired with a drink named after the dog.
• Drink stirrers and frosted cups — smaller details that carry the illustration too.
• Tote bag, matchboxes, can coolie — take-home favors that match the bar set instead of feeling bolted on.

The Packages

If you want it coordinated rather than piecemeal, there are three tiers, each covering up to 75 guests with the illustration, unlimited digital revisions, and digital files included:

Pricing reflects what's listed on ineverychapter.com at time of writing; confirm current figures before quoting elsewhere. If you're not sure where to start, the Bar Package is the lower-commitment entry point.

When Your Dog Can't Physically Be There

This is the part we think sets it apart. Venue restrictions, distance, or a dog who's passed away all come up constantly in this category, and In Every Chapter treats it as a core use case rather than an edge case. One couple put it plainly on the brand's own site: "Our dog couldn't be there, but he somehow took over the bar. The cups, napkins, and stirrers were everywhere and guests kept grabbing extras." — Danielle K., The Bar Package. For a dog who has passed away, the brand asks couples to say so up front so the portrait gets handled with extra care.

More Than One Dog, or a Different Species? Still Covered.

Multi-dog households can add a second (or third) dog to the same set of products for an added per-dog fee, per the brand's FAQ. And despite the dog-first branding, In Every Chapter says it will illustrate other pets on request too, including cats, horses, and rabbits.

Real Talk From Couples Who've Ordered

The brand displays "4.9 out of 5 from 300+ orders" on its own site, backed by dozens of named, dated, verified-order testimonials rather than a bare number. A few we liked:

• "This was my favorite wedding detail. I wanted our dog included without it feeling cheesy, and In Every Chapter nailed it." — Bora K., The Bar Package (San Francisco, CA)
• "Guests were asking where to order before the night even ended. The cups, stirrers, and matchboxes all became take-home pieces." — Kayla J., The Bar Package (Atlanta, GA)
• "We have pretty high standards and I was nervous handing over creative control. The first proof came back and we didn't change a thing." — Isabelle F., Wedding Welcome Tote (St. Helena, CA)

Separately, In Every Chapter's Etsy storefront carries its own independent record: 5.0 out of 5 stars across 39 reviews, active since 2020.

The Design Process, Briefly

A couple sends reference photos and picks a house style — Timeless and Elegant or Playful and Colorful — then one illustrator produces a digital proof. Per the brand's FAQ, nothing goes to print until the couple signs off.

Before You Order

• Guest count: the prices above cover up to 75 guests; larger weddings may cost more.
• Timeline: the art is custom, so start early; check the brand's current FAQ for its stated lead times, since they shift with season and volume.
• Extra pets: each additional dog or pet on one order carries a per-pet fee.
• Shipping: United States only, currently, per the brand's FAQ.
