What is a ketubah?
A modern ketubah is a document
signed by the wedded couple, and often by a third party such as the wedding officiant,
declaring the intents, thoughts, feelings, wishes and responsibilities of each
to the other. In religious Jewish ceremonies,
a ketubah is regarded as a marriage contract that sets out the basic conjugal,
moral and material responsibilities of the husband towards his wife.
How do I choose a ketubah?

In order to complete your order
you will be required to log into our website with your existing login and
password or create a new one in case you don’t have one. Once logged in you
will be asked to provide your shipping, billing and payment information.
Once the order is complete you
will be sent a confirmation email to the address provided.
What is a personalized
ketubah?
A personalized ketubah is a
ketubah that will have your name, wedding date and
location in the designated places in your chosen text in a font matching the
rest of the text.
An unpersonalized ketubah will have blanks to be filled
with the above information by the officiant
on the wedding day.
In order to have your ketubah
personalized we will send you upon request a form with blanks to be filled by
you/your wedding officiant. You will return
the completed form to us, so that we can incorporate the information into your
ketubah. We will not print your personalized ketubah until we have received
your approval on a sample that will be sent to you via email.
What if I don’t understand
Hebrew?
The ketubah company will gladly
assist you with translating and spelling your Hebrew names, wedding dates and
location free of charge as most of our staff speak fluent Hebrew. Please do not
hesitate to ask for our advice in that regard. We do also provide a service for custom text
translation into Hebrew for a fee that varies according to the length of the
text.
Ketubah colors
We have done our best to insure that the ketubah colors
presented on our website are a true representation of the ones appearing on the
actual print, however, since each screen has a different color calibration,
there might be a slight variation between the colors you see on your screen and
the actual colors of the ketubah print.
How do I choose a text?
The ketubah text is usually
chosen according to your and/or
your officiant’s religious affiliation. It is therefore best to consult your rabbi
prior to making your choice. If the
wedding is not a traditionally religious one, you can choose any text that
appeals to both of you from the ones appearing on our website, or provide us
with your own (in which case please choose the custom text option).
What is the quality of a
ketubah print?
Our ketubahs
are printed on a fine art, professional, heavy duty archival paper (used by
museums for artwork display) using a wide format printer that preserves the artwork from
fading and the paper from changing color for at least 70 years.
How should I take care of my
ketubah?
The ketubah needs to be kept in
its original box until signing. After the signing, the ketubah should be
professionally framed and hung in a dry place away from contact with direct
sunlight or any other strong direct light.
How will my ketubah be
shipped?
All ketubahs
are wrapped with acid free paper and shipped in a 0.7 mm shipping tube via
messengers to your door.
There are several shipping
options you can choose from while placing an order for a ketubah: Regular shipping (ground service) which takes
about 7 business days to arrive, the
rush shipping option which takes up to 2 business days to arrive, and
international shipping which includes shipping to any country outside of the US
and Canada. International shipping times vary according to your country of
residence and we will choose the fastest option available. Please note that for
this shipping option the recipient of the ketubah is solely responsible for any
custom and/or duty charges, if such apply.
Unfortunately a pick-up option
is currently not available.
Refund/Return policy
Once your personalization form is received we can only refund the shipping portion of your order. No refund will be issued beyond 60 days from date of order.
Each ketubah is printed to
order; we cannot therefore accept your order back unless the ketubah has been
damaged during the shipping process. In
such a case please call us as soon as possible after receipt of your order to
discuss a replacement option.
