A question we frequently get is: do you create ketubahs for a couple where one or both of the partners had been previous married?

Our response: Of course!!!!

We have dozens of ketubah texts, and we’ve encountered every situation: from divorcées to converts to partners who have a deceased parent so they want to change the wording like this to people who want to use their own text.

We believe it is the most wonderful thing in the world to find your beshert — even if it happens on your second or third (or 18th) try. Sometimes, you need to go through a few attempts before you find the right person.

No matter who you find, or when, or how many marriages you’ve had before — we feel honored to have a part in your wedding day with your perfect partner now.

We’re trying out a new idea of ours:

Putting your photo onto your Ketubah!

Sound interesting? Would you want a Ketubah with your own photograph on it?

Take a look at our page all about our photo ketubot here and if this sounds interesting to you then drop us a line!

I think it would be super-cool to have a ketubah with your own photo on it!!!! :)

Here’s a common question we get: Does the couple need to buy their ketubah themselves; or can someone else give them the Ketubah as a gift? The subtext under this question is, Who buys the Ketubah?

Our answer:

The Ketubah was traditionally given to the couple by someone very close to the couple — such as a parent, sibling, or best friend. Often, however, the ketubah was purchased by the couple themselves.

Since the Ketubah is something that the couple will hang on their wall, it is something they will see every day of their life — and they will think of you. This is the reason why it makes sense for someone very close to the couple to buy it.

Imagine, this exaggerated situation: you have a vague acquaintance that you invite to your wedding. He buys you your Ketubah. You’ll think of him when you see the Ketubah — but isn’t that weird? You barely know him! On the other hand, if it’s a gift from one of your parents, or your brother or sister to whom you’re close, or your best friend in whose house you grew up — then that is special and intimate.

This is in a similar class of tradition as, the father of the bride buying a tallis for the groom as a gift, or the best man buying a kiddish cup — I’ve seen these variations of the tradition as well. The difference is, you rarely use the special tallis, and you also rarely use the kiddish cup. But the ketubah art hanging on your wall: you will see it every day of your life.

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that, if you want to use your own text on a Ketubah — we’d love to put any text you want!

Our goal is to make sure your Ketubah is 100% perfect — and that includes the right text for you.

Your rabbi has a different text? We’ll use it.
You want to write your own text? We’ll use it.
You want to change the text? We’ll do it with you.
You want another language? We’ll make it happen.

It’s YOUR Ketubah. It’s critical to us that YOU are jumping with joy with the text of your Ketubah.

My legalistic side insists I point out that sometimes, we need to charge a bit more for this, because we need to pay the artist to put the different text in, or hire a translator, or go back-and-forth a million times — and so forth. But it’s not much, just a few dollars!

What text do you want on your Ketubah? How could you make your Ketubah perfect?
