Custom-Print Ketubot
The printed ketubah with a custom text
Customer information

The revival of illuminated ketubot as part of the wedding has added both beauty and meaning to modern marriage ceremonies and to Jewish homes. When you select a ketubah, you are choosing a work of art which is both a very personal document and a family heirloom. It helps fulfill two mitzvot, that of making the khatan and kallah rejoice, and of hiddur mitzvah, the beautification of a mitzvah. While a plain ketubah would suffice, our tradition encourages us to increase its beauty, demonstrating the value we give to the tradition of the ketubah.

The painted borders and Hebrew letters of these colorful Custom-Print Ketubot were designed by the calligrapher Peggy Davis. The ketubot feature fully customizable text(s). The ketubah is 17 x 22," printed digitally with archival ink on archival quality rag paper, and signed in pencil by the artist. A smaller, 13 x 17" size is also available.

Cost: The basic cost of the ketubah is $250, ($300 for the Chuppah Ketubah or $400 for a PhotoKetubah) with any of our standard texts filled in for your wedding. There is no extra charge for this personalization. You may choose to supply your own text in Hebrew, Yiddish or English, for which there is a $75 charge. We can provide a text in any other language with a Latin, Hebrew or Cyrillic alphabet; ask for a price quote.

Proofs: When your personalized text is ready to be proofread, we send it by e-mail to the store, customer, and/or rabbi, as arranged. With final approval, we print the ketubah and send it to the location indicated.

Rush orders: $50 rush charge for an order placed less than three weeks before it is needed. Find out from the store if our rush service is available when needed.

Holder: A foam core holder in an acetate envelope suitable for display at wedding is included in the flat shipping charges.

You choose:

• The border/background design
• The text(s)
• The layout of the texts within the border
• The number of signers
• We enlarge the bride's and groom's names when it suits the design, unless asked not to do so.

We also offer:

• Parent/grandparent gifts (8 x 10") or guest favors (4 x 5"), miniatures of your ketubah with your names, the wedding date and a message in place of the ketubah's text.
• Table numbers (5 x 7") printed in your ketubah border, fits in holder on table.

Payment in U.S. funds may be made by check or by charge card. If paying by charge, please call with your card number or fax it to us as we do not have a secure server.
